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 rag top Mustang, a 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.

Then she burned that pony to the ground on the desert in New Mexico.

She said "You're lucky all she broke was your heart

You better just let her go."
