[verse]
It’s a lonely ride on the freeway,
No kids in the back seat
My ex-wife, took my whole wide world away,
Thoughts of me and her in the courtroom
They’re haunting me everyday,
Your lawyer was a man eater, orchestrating every thing you didn’t have to say,
How can you go on with no guilt at all,
You got the kids, the house we built, and all my sanity is gone,
you took everything left inside of me,
I’d give anything to have you ride with me,
My world ain’t the same since my Christie’s gone,
I’m begging you baby, let me come back home,….
And I can’t go on,
No,…. Cause my Christie’s gone,
[chorus]
My head is messed up since I lost my Christie,
Forever mesmerized by the way she kissed me,
It’s been six months but it seems like yesterday,
I took out my ring to see if it fits me still,
No one will hold my heart the way that Christie will,
It’s gonna take another bottle of whiskey,
to chase these blues that’s in me away,…..
And I can’t go on,
No…. Cause my Christie’s gone.

Why can’t you raise them kids with me,
What if they forget about their Daddy,
Oh Christie
Won’t you come back to me,
This loneliness is punishing me,
It took me several weeks for me to finally see,
That it’s over,
There ain’t no other girl that’s attractive to me,
Maybe I’m too blind that I can’t see,
That’s there’s got to be,
Another girl, got the weight of the world,
On my shoulders,
My Christy’s gone,
My Christy’s gone.

Forever mesmerized by the way she kissed me,

It’s gonna take another bottle of whiskey,
to chase these blues that’s in me away,…..
And I can’t go on,
No…. Cause my Christie’s gone.
