She left town with the guitar man From the Delta Outlaws Hillbilly Band They played the Elks and the Eagles club The VFW and my Holiday Inn No matter what big stories he told her This little town was too small to hold her She always said, she had to get out of here Had to get outta this place She always had her heart set on Hollywood Heaven knows she had the face There wasn't nothin' that she couldn't do Once she got the thought in her head I'm here 'til I'm gone And that's what she always said Well, she left him with a heart broke grin On a first cla** flight outta New Orleans Her plane disappeared as he was wavin' goodbye He could only imagine, she was wavin' at him But he's not the first and he won't be the last She would've told him but he didn't ask She always said, she had to get out of here Had to get outta this place She always had her heart set on Hollywood Heaven knows she had the face There wasn't nothin' that she couldn't do Once she got the thought in her head I'm here 'til I'm gone And that's what she always said She ain't the kind to let herself Be tied down to anything I know I didn't wanna listen Anytime she started talkin' that way She always said, she had to get out of here Had to get outta this place She always had her heart set on Hollywood Heaven knows she had the face There wasn't nothin' that she couldn't do Once she got the thought in her head I'm here 'til I'm gone And that's what she always said I'm here 'til I'm gone And that's what she always said
