Girls have been a weakness all of my life   But I made a big mistake and I took one for a wife   I've thought that she was different I could settle down   But she won't and I didn't by now I'm leavin' town   This time tomorrow I'll be gone this time tomorrow I'll be gone   [ guitar ]   I'll be a datin' those southern belles there'll be no days of blue   All the queens in New Orleans I'll get around with you   When sun went down I'll come back up I'll be countin' every hour   Till I'm back headin' south for sweet sweet magnolia flowers   This time tomorrow I'll be gone this time tomorrow I'll be gone   This time tomorrow I'll be gone this time tomorrow I'll be gone
