Good as Gold

He watched her pack her bags

She would soon be on her way

Following some rich kid to L.A

Auburn hair was flowing

Right down past her knees

He watched her turn her back on Tennessee

Good as gold that's how I'll remember you

And those eyes of delta blue

Good for you turn your back on Tennessee

You knew what you got to do

Heaven knows if its wrong or if it's right

She is leaving at first light

Here I stay if I wasn't so afraid

I would chase her down tonight

She called him one night crying from some bar below

At a crowded party, all alone

She said I'm the great pretender

Drifting through the days

Painting blank expressions on my face

Good as gold that's how I'll remember you

And those eyes of delta blue

Good for you turn your back on Tennessee

You knew what you got to do

Heaven knows if its wrong or if it's right

She is leaving at first light

Here I stay if I wasn't so afraid

I would chase her down tonight

I've never been the wild kind

Some kind of flaw in my design

I couldn't cross the county line

Good as gold that's how I'll remember you

And those eyes of delta blue

Good for you turn your back on Tennessee

You know what you got to do

Heaven knows if its wrong or if it's right

She is leaving at first light

Here I stay if I wasn't so afraid

I would chase her down tonight
