Gone Too Soon Lyrics

She was a sexy little thing

Thought she was so sly

With a smile that could charm

And a gleam in her eye

I turned her down once

Thought I was bein' smart

Now I'm sittin' here with nothing

While she's tearing me apart

Oh, she played her hand

Thought she'd outsmart me

But I took her to court

And now she's facing reality

With a heart full of schemin

And a plan gone wrong

She's locked behind bars

While I'm moving along

In that backstabbing game

With the rich and the cruel

She thought she'd be clever

But I'm nobody's fool

I built my empire

From the ground to the sky

But she tried to take it all

Now she's watchin' me fly

Oh, she played her hand

Thought she'd outsmart me

But I took her to court

And now she's facing reality

With a heart full of schemin

And a plan gone wrong

She's locked behind bars

While I'm moving along

Seven lonely days

And a dozen towns gone by

Every road I take

Feels like a goodbye

But I've risen from the ashes

With fire in my soul

She thought she had me figured

But I'm back in control

Oh, she played her hand

Thought she'd outsmart me

But I took her to court

And now she's facing reality

With a heart full of schemin

And a plan gone wrong

She's locked behind bars

While I'm moving along

So here's to the lessons

And the bridges I've burned

She thought she had the game

But the tables have turned

Now I'm standing tall

With my head held high

She played her hand

But I'm the one who'll fly.
