[00:00.00]When Rita Leaves - Delbert Mcclinton
[00:09.92]She left a lipstick letter on the mirror
[00:14.50]Shattered on the bathroom floor
[00:20.60]All I could put back together was
[00:24.22]Never see me no more
[00:29.36]Took all her clothes but one red dress
[00:33.99]The one she knows I like the best
[00:39.07]All I could do was clean up the mess
[00:43.37]And wonder where she had gone
[00:48.77]I had a sky blue ragtop mustang 1964
[00:58.38]She drove it off into the night
[01:02.53]Til it just wouldn't go no more
[01:08.12]She caught a ride on into town
[01:13.32]Bought some gas and laid the top down
[01:18.29]She burned that pony to the ground
[01:21.88]On the desert in New Mexico
[01:26.96]When Rita leaves Rita's gone
[01:37.13]She gave me every chance a man could want
[01:46.85]I've never known a love so strong
[01:52.02]Or so crazy when she's been done wrong
[01:55.95]When Rita leaves Rita's gone
[02:44.76]I put a call into her Mamasita back in EL Paso
[02:54.72]She said she got the story from Rita
[02:58.75]On her way to Mexico
[03:03.84]Her mama knew I was taking it hard
[03:08.56]Said she was sorry about my car
[03:13.31]She said you're lucky all she broke
[03:15.96]Was your heart
[03:17.48]You better just let her go
[03:22.31]When Rita leaves Rita's gone
[03:32.43]She gave me every chance a man could want
[03:42.21]I've never known a love so strong
[03:46.97]Or so crazy when she's been done wrong
[03:51.14]When Rita leaves Rita's gone
[04:10.94]When Rita leaves Rita's gone
