The Feel Of Bein' Gone - Conway Twitty

Early in the morning she’ll be leaving

To visit with her mother for a spell

But I know that really ain’t the reason

'Cause I know what she’s doing all too well

She says she don’t know how long she’s stayin'

Since she ain’t seen her mother for so long

What she really means but isn’t sayin'

Is she means to get the feel of bein' gone

She would never up and leave me

Unless she knew that it was really dead

But she ain’t got no way knowin'

'Til she puts me and leavin' to the test

She’s just got to know for certain

What it’s like to live away from me

But I’m so afraid I’m gonna lose her

When she gets the taste of being free

I know that I’d be wrong to try and stop her

There’s nothing I can do but play along

And get used to the feel of bein' lonesome

In case she likes the feel of being gone
