She left her boots she wears in the rain She left her lady razor She left a note that I can't explain On the refrigerator She left a book she's been reading for days Beside her chest of drawers She left her nightgown hanging Behind the bathroom door But she left me no choice as far as I can tell When it comes to getting over her She didn't leave me a chance in hell Like a snowball in El Paso Like a feather in the wind Without a prayer I'll ever find someone like her again A fast train is comin' And my heart's a penny on the rail No she didn't leave me a chance in hell She left me wondering what I'm gonna do With all these pieces left of me She left her scent all over the room So even in the dark I'd see She left a thirsty man with no water in the well And without a single storm cloud overhead She didn't leave me a chance in hell Like a snowball in El Paso Like a feather in the wind Without a prayer I'll ever find someone like her again A fast train is comin' And my heart's a penny on the rail No she didn't leave me a chance in hell A fast train is comin' And my heart's a penny on the rail No, she didn't leave me a chance in hell No, she didn't leave me a chance in hell
