When Rita Leaves

She left a lipstick letter on the mirror
Shattered on the bathroom floor
All I could put back together was,
"Never see me no more"
Took all her clothes, but one red dress
The one she knows I like the best
All I could do was clean up the mess
And wonder where she had gone

I had a sky blue ragtop Mustang, 1964
She drove it off into the night
'Til it just wouldn't go no more
She caught a ride on into town
Bought some gas and laid the top down
She burned that pony to the ground
On the desert in New Mexico

Chorus
When Rita leaves, Rita's gone
She gave me every chance a man could want
I've never known a love so strong
Or so crazy when she's been done wrong
When Rita leaves, Rita's gone

I put a call into her Mamasita back in El Paso
She said she got the story from Rita
On her way to Mexico
Her Mama knew I was takin' it hard
Said she was sorry about my car
She said you're lucky all she broke
Was your heart
You better just let her go


Mirror lyrics:

You better just let her go
Was your heart
She said you're lucky all she broke
Said she was sorry about my car
Her Mama knew I was takin' it hard
On her way to Mexico
She said she got the story from Rita
I put a call into her Mamasita back in El Paso

When Rita leaves, Rita's gone
Or so crazy when she's been done wrong
I've never known a love so strong
She gave me every chance a man could want
When Rita leaves, Rita's gone
Chorus

On the desert in New Mexico
She burned that pony to the ground
Bought some gas and laid the top down
She caught a ride on into town
'Til it just wouldn't go no more
She drove it off into the night
I had a sky blue ragtop Mustang, 1964

And wonder where she had gone
All I could do was clean up the mess
The one she knows I like the best
Took all her clothes, but one red dress
"Never see me no more"
All I could put back together was,
Shattered on the bathroom floor
She left a lipstick letter on the mirror
