1
She left a lipstick letter on the mirror shattered on the bathroom floor
2
All I could put back together was never see me no more
3
Took all her clothes but one red dress, the one she knows I like the best
4
All I could do was clean up the mess and wonder where she'd gone
5
I had a sky-blue, rag top Mustang, a 1964
6
She drove it off into the night till it just wouldn't go no more
7
She caught a ride on into town, bought some gas and laid the top down
8
Then she burned that pony to the ground on the desert in new Mexico
9
When Rita leaves, Rita's gone
10
She gave me every chance a man could want
11
I've never known a love so strong
12
Or so crazy when she's been done wrong
13
When Rita leaves, Rita's gone
14
I put a call into her mamasita back in El Paso
15
She said she got the story from Rita on her way to Mexico
16
Her mama knew I was takin' it hard, said she was sorry about my car
17
She said, "You're lucky all she broke was your heart
18
You better just let her go"
19
When Rita leaves, Rita's gone
20
She gave me every chance a man could want
21
I've never known a love so strong
22
Or so crazy when she's been done wrong
23
When Rita leaves, Rita's gone
24
She never gave me a chance to explain
25
Well I guess it doesn't much matter now anyway
26
When Rita leaves, Rita's gone
27
When Rita leaves, Rita's gone
