Well she was just sixteen and all mixed up
Climbin' out the window to the back of his truck
No one noticing where she's gone
Told the driver "I don't care which direction you head"
And he looks into her eyes and he knew what she meant
And she was so far away before she'd even left at all
Cause she's already gone
Yeah she's already gone
Yeah she's already gone
Thoughts might linger on
But I wait for her
Well she ended up in some backwards town
Got a job tendin' bar at a place called The Rounds
Cleanin up for the local drunks
Well she could barely afford but she was placed on the blocks
So she stole money every chance she got
They found out and called the cops
But she ran like hell, she ran
She was already gone
Yeah she's already gone
She was already gone
Thoughts might linger on
But I wait for her
You can just drift your life away
But no way you could be lost forever
Cause she's already gone
Yeah she's already gone
Yeah she's already gone
Thoughts might linger on
But I wait for her
