Mr. Miss Me When I’m Gone

I was shootin’ the breeze on the Ladies Night at the Dust Bunny Cabaret for a whisky kiss and wink that could take

me home.

She would fall for the ramblin’ bandit boys on the run between prison breaks, living like she ain’t afraid

of dying’ alone.

Went around the block with Laura Lane had a slice of her cherry pie, after last-call drinks with garter-belt Caroline.

Though I like the chase, ain’t the type to stay getting lost in the butterflies when there’s Peaches down in Georgia

on my mind.

You can dance with the devil by the pale moonlight, fall asleep by a one-night stand. It’s a matter of time then

your hands are tied so it’s back in the saddle again, because….

You ain’t gonna lasso a cowboy, honey the horse gonna ride away.

Catch me if you can, I’m a wanted man, singing bye bye yippie ay yay.

And I ain’t showing up for the showdown, skippin’ town on a southbound train.

I had one too many Clementines and they can’t get enough of me.

Left a breadcrumb trail full of lonely nights and a chest full of broken hearts.

Heard a pin drop play when my boots hit the old saloon.

All the gold rush gamblers turn their heads with a handful of folded cards, so I cleaned the

house and cashed in my chips on you.

She was hotter than high noon pistol smoke, set of legs like a chorus line.

We can rendezvous for a dosey do then it’s high time I said goodbye, because…

You ain’t gonna lasso a cowboy, honey the horse gonna ride away.

Catch me if you can, I’m a wanted man, singing bye bye yippie ay yay.

And I ain’t showing up for the showdown, skippin’ town on a southbound train.

I had one too many Clementines and they can’t get enough of me.

When I blow through town on the western wind, I’ll be ringing them southern bells. If I settle down, I hope that I

won’t be late. I’m a rollin’ stone with a shotgun soul of a renegade bound for hell and you can leave red lipstick

kisses on my grave. And my legend’s spreading far and wide like a number one country song, and you can bet you

sister calls me Mr. Miss Me When I’m Gone, because…

You ain’t gonna lasso a cowboy, honey the horse gonna ride away.

Catch me if you can, I’m a wanted man, singing bye bye yippie ay yay.

And I ain’t showing up for the showdown, skippin’ town on a southbound train.

I had one too many Clementines and they can’t get enough of me.
