It Just Dawned on Me

You were always there
 For the last seven years
 Sleeping in a bed
 Resting your pretty little head
 You started sleeping lighter
 And lighter every night
 You were already up making coffee
 By the dawn's early light
 Well, I was happy dreamin'
 In our happy home
 And I woke up
 I was alone
 It just dawned on me
 You're gone
 You're gone
 An old flame caught your eye
 And whispered in your ear
 Songs of whiskey dreams
 To spirit you away from here
 Your mama and your daddy
 Slept in a soft feather bed
 I hope you wind up in the jailhouse
 With a cement floor for your head
 Cause I'll be happy dreamin'
 In our happy home
 I'll wake up
 I'll be alone
 It just dawned on me
 You're gone
 Thank God you're gone
