Gatlinburg

I married a woman once upon eternity
Temporarily she was even married to me
I never saw her coming, sometimes I miss her like a limb
Love will ride in like a whirlwind
And dip on a whim

I see someone in the mirror, can't say what happened to him
Can't see it getting any clearer with a shave and a trim
Whatever happened to her?
Hell the last I heard

She was bikered-up and breeding in whatever's lеft of Gatlinburg
Gatlinburg
How it hurt as I heard her last words
"Nevеr going back to Gatlinburg"

When the blues hits hard, when the missing kicks in
Still pick up the guitar and get a couple licks in
Hope she got something to sweeten her deal
Her person to call when they're serving it raw
And all too real

Once I was her person
That was her for me, too
They say, "nothing for certain" and that's certainly true
She left so high in the saddle that it sounded absurd

That she dismounted for another satin bridle down in Gatlinburg
Gatlinburg
How it hurt as I heard her last words
"Never going back to Gatlinburg"
Gatlinburg
Hope she got the reigns and she's spangled and spurred
And riding wild into battle in Gatlinburg
Wild into battle in Gatlinburg
Wild into battle, wild into battle
Wild into battle in Gatlinburg
