Well heâs gone to find his way again
He said heâs lost his only friend
Heâs got a jar of cash to spend
Heâs running off just like he done before
And he made a stop down the track
He sold his favorite leather hat
He told the man he wonât be back
And rounded out an old unsettled score
But ooh... this âainât the first time that Iâve been left behind
Iâd cook his lunch and wash his clothes
Heâd tend the fence and shoot the crows
And somewhere in there we got close
They say a handy man is hard to find
He bought the farm, I sold my car
He left me with a silver scar
Heâs colder then a steel guitar
He always said he ainât the loving kind
But I said ooh... this âainât the first time that Iâve been left behind
Well some days I cry like a child
Other days I ramble wild
Heâs got me so goddamn beguiled
And I donât even know his middle name
And heâs been lost and found before
Iâve stopped waiting by the door
But I still love him to the core
I only wish that he could do the same
But ooh... this âainât the first time that Iâve been left behind
Well he donât call and he donât write
He slips on in after midnight
I never turn off my porch light
He always finds his way back my place
And I never ask him for a ring
But he gave my this old song to sing
And helped himself to everything
And now Iâm here without a speck of grace
But ooh... this âainât the first time that Iâve been left behind
Left behind
