It Just Dawned on Me - John Doe, The Sadies

You were always there

For the last seven years

Sleepin' in our bed

Restin' your pretty little head

You started sleepin' lighter

And lighter every night

You were already up makin' coffee

By the dawn’s early light

Well, I was happy dreamin' in our happy home

Then 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

The 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 jail house

With the 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
