Lyrics

Since You’ve Gone



Since you’ve gone I’ve taken up drinkin’

beer and whiskey, and very fine wine

Since you’ve gone I’ve taken up women

no one special they’re around all the time



(chorus)

So you might be in Chicago, maybe in LA

deep down in Texas, somewhere far away

Wherever you are babe, won’t you hear me say

Wherever you are, babe, I hope that’s where you stay



Without you, I’ve taken up sleeping

Every night, and every day

Without you, I’ve taken up smoking big cigars

that drive my friends away



(bridge)

Now I’m alone and there’s nothing but a different woman every night

a different kind of feeling right and wrong

Now I’m alone and there’s nothing but peace and quiet

And I wake up in the morning singing a song



Since you’re gone, I’ve taken up eating

regular meals I can finally afford

Since you’re gone I’ve given up working

I’m just hanging around and I never get bored
