My Baby - Tim Hicks

Little story about love gone wrong

Sometimes it ain’t pretty

Let me tell you about my baby

She walked in the room, clicked off the TV

Kicked her feet up on the chair

Said we’re headed in different directions

And one of us has gotta get out of here

She said, hey baby, let me make it easy

Or maybe baby we can work things out

She lip up a cig, said my bags are packed

And in two seconds flat like a jumpin' jack flash she’s gone

My baby ain’t coming back, no

My baby ain’t coming back

My baby ain’t coming back

She’s got a one-way ticket on a one-way track, y’all

My baby, she’s a hot tamale

My baby’s burning up the road

My baby done flip me the bird, no matter what you heard

She ain’t coming back, no

Nothing left but a cloud of dust

And tire tracks through the whole front yard

She might think I’ma coming to chase her

But she ain’t worth the miles I’d put on my car

She might be out in Oklahoma, maybe down in Arkansas

Maybe up in Ohio, bet she don’t know, it don’t hurt at all, y’all

My baby ain’t coming back, no

My baby ain’t coming back

My baby ain’t coming back

She’s got a one-way ticket on a one-way track, y’all

My baby, she’s a hot tamale

My baby’s burning up the road

My baby done flip me the bird, no matter what you heard

She ain’t coming back, no

Not her, I know her all too well

Wait, what’s that?

I think I hear a car coming up the drive

She done changed her mind, y’all

Wait, no, no, that’s just the boys yelling

Oh well, it is Saturday night, let me get my stick

You know sometimes things just turn out right

My baby ain’t coming back, no

My baby ain’t coming back

My baby ain’t coming back

She’s got a one-way ticket on a one-way track, y’all

My baby, she’s a hot tamale

My baby’s burning up the road

My baby done flip me the bird, no matter what you heard

She ain’t coming back, no
