Lyrics

Cut off all of your hair,

did you flinch, did you care?

Did he look, did he stop and stare at your (G)brand new hair?

Lo cal boy, lo cal news,

pow er lines, hang ing boots.

Fi re men in their trucks cut loose a (G)lo cal boy’s shoes.

Ca dil lac, Ca dil lac,

busi ness men dressed in slacks.

I will buy one for us when I get back, a (G)big Ca dil lac.

And you can (F)wave to all your friends

and I’ll nev er leave you a gain.

Would you write, would you call back ba by if I (G)wrote you a song?

I’ve been gone, but you’re still my la dy and I (G)need you at home.

And you can (F)wave to all of your friends

and I’ll nev got er leave you a gain.

Would you write, would you call back, ba by if I (G)wrote you a song?

I’ve been gone, but you’re still my la dy and I (G)need you at home.

’Cause if you (F)ain’t be hind my your door

then I ain’t got a home an y more.

Would you write, would you call back, ba by if I (G)wrote you a song?

I’ve been gone, but you’re still my la dy and I (G)need you at home.

’Cause if you

Lov ers come, lov ers go, lov ers leave me a lone, she’ll come back to me.
