Little miss marigold
Moved her things out today
She Moved back to Memphis
She left a little bouquet

It read. I dont deserve this
You were gambling again
I gave you all that I could handle
But baby Im gone and Im never coming back
Youll never change, youll never get on track

By the time that you read this
Ill be in the Smokies again
And this train it will rattle
But baby Im gone and Im never coming back
You know its hard when your dreams are in your sights

Youll never change
Youre a disaster
Im leaving today
To find what Im after
Im worth the wait
Believe in what you say

I see her in pictures
In all magazines
You can tear out the pages
But all she ever needed
was someone who believed
I know Ive changed
But Ill never make it right

Youll never change
Youre a disaster
You left me in vain
You left me in tatters
Im worth the wait
Believe in what you say
Believe in what you say

I bet you live by the ocean
Your marigolds in May
Back here the leaves are all falling
Baby I was wrong
Even though I thought I was right
I know its hard
When your dreams are in your sights
When your dreams are in your sights
