Invitation

I got an invitation from a girl I used to know back home

It was an invitation asking me to telephone

She said its getting lonely here

And I've been gone for close a year

I took the first flight out to meet the girl I used to know back home

She met me off the flight a million dollars in her long red gown

With a man in a black hat just to drive us back to town

Now the faces all look the same

And all the places have the same old names

But in a year youve changed just like the girl I used to know back home

Yes in a year youve changed just like the girl I used to know back home

Maybe its true that I go on and on and on

Maybe its true that I'm the lonely one alone

What can I say to you what can I say to you

Yes in a year youve changed just like the girl I used to know back home

It took another year before I started getting itchy toes

And then I had to leave but thats the way the story goes

Well I reckon if shed made me stay

Id never live to see another day

I took the first flight out and left the girl I used to know back home

Maybe its true that I go on and on and on

Maybe its true that I'm the lonely one alone

What can I say to you what can I say to you

I took the first flight out and left the girl I used to know back home

Back home I left the girl back home

I left the girl back home

I left the girl back home

I left the girl back home

I left the girl back home
