Where You Gonna Go

June fell for johnny on the forth of july
As the fireworks popped in the summer sky
With a spark in her eye, she just there an' stared
As his face lit up to the rocket's red glare
An' by september, she'd asked him for a weddiing band
How could she know he was a ramblin' man
He walked out the door in the dead of the night
An' a sleepy voice whispered, as he turned out the light:
"Where you gonna go?
"What you gonna do when you get there?
"Who you gonna call when your road runs out at the sea?
"Oh, you're never gonna find
"Someone who loves you like I do
"If you get tired of runnin'
"You can turn around an' walk back to me."
He called up to tell her he missed her a lo
Texas panhandle was as far as he got
He'd run out money, he'd run of luck
He'd run out of gas in his pick-up truck
"Hitch a ride, catch a train or a greyhound bus
"'Cause there's a baby on the way an' that makes three of us
"An' I need you here beside me, I can't go it alone,"
She told him one more time then she hung up the 'phone
Sayin': "where you gonna go?
"What you gonna do when you get there?
"Who you gonna call when your road runs out at the sea?
"You know, you're never gonna find
"Someone who loves you like I do.
"When you get tired of runnin'
"You can turn around an' walk back to me."
An' the years just seemed to roll on by them
She missed him more an' more every day
An' that boy grew up to look and act just like him
An' she knew some day soon he'd be old enough to fly away
An' she'd say: "baby, where you gonna go?
"What you gonna do when you get there?
"Who you gonna call when your road runs out at the sea?
"You know, you're never gonna find
"Someone who loves you like I do
"When you get tired of runnin'
"You can turn around an' walk back to me."
"If you ever get tired of runnin'
"Turn around an' walk back to me"
