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 [ guitar - steel ] Well well my baby's not here in town tonight... And I'm hoping soon that she'll return to me
