(W.S. Stevenson - Clyde C. Beam - Charles L. Jiles)

Well, my baby's not here in town tonight this old town just don't seem right
Even my old friends don't seem the same to me
Well, my baby's not here in town tonight these old lights don't shine as bright
And I'm hidin' tears till I can hardly see.

Well, he's been acting kinda strange I should've guessed what lay ahead
But I keep wondering if it's things I've done or if it's things I've said
Well, my baby's not here in town tonight this old town just don't seem right
And I'm hidin' tears till I can hardly see.

Well, my baby's not here in town tonight this old town just don't seem right
And I'm hidin' tears till I can hardly see.

And I'm hoping soon that she'll return to me...
