If this was a joke  I'd be laughing by now  Cuttin' up with the boys  And braggin' bout how  I talked my way  Out of the trouble i was in again    She kept sayin'  You're gunna miss me  But i never did take her seriously  I guess her gift of prophecy was real amen    [Chorus]  Babys gone  Baby aint to blame  Thatd be my fault  Me and my no brain  Might'a took a train to Tupelo  Might'a been Tulsa for all i know  Talk about movin' on  Babys gone    I admit im the type  Needs a wake-up call  Sometimes you gotta hit me  With a cannonball  I guess baby goin' AWOL did the trick  Pretty quick    Now the trick is  Gettin that phone  If i have to call everybody she's ever known  And tell'em this    [Repeat chorus]  If you wanted my attention  You've got it now  Baby, anthing  Anywhere  Anyhow    [Repeat chorus]  Thats the name of the song  Babys gone
