Leland Loftis

[Verse 1]
When she went away
He knew the meanin' of a rainy day
His dreams took wing and flew away

[Verse 2]
When she said goodbye
He saw the sun pack up and leave the sky
He drew an ace but the king was high

[Verse 3]
Leland Loftis can’t get off to sleep
No appointments left for him to keep
He serves the soup down at old Cactus Pete
For a trailer to sleep in and all he can eat

[Chorus]
Tellin' lies to everyone in town
How it was the day he put her down
He remembers how it was the day she said goodbye
Leland Loftis sits and wonders why
Leland Loftis sits and wonders why

[Bridge]
Why she went away
(Why) Why she couldn't stay
(Why) Why his dreams took wing and flew away
(Why) Why she said goodbye
(Why) She didn’t even try
(Why) Why she had to lie
Leland Loftis sits and wonders
Leland Loftis sits and wonders
Leland Loftis sits and wonders

[Chorus]
Leland Loftis can't get off to sleep
No appointments left for him to keep
He remembers how it was the day she said goodbye
Leland Loftis sits and wonders why
Leland Loftis sits and wonders why

[Outro]
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Leland Loftis sits and wonders why
