Story Behind The Song
This is a true story about a girl I met after a gig on 6th street in Austin Texas in the early '80s. She was much too young to stick around with an old 25 year old musician. She was very nice though!

Lyrics
I looked around and I saw you there
If I turn around, will you be gone
Baby, I don't mean to sound this way
But can I take you home
Carla, I know I shouldn't want to be with you
Oh Carla, but that's exactly what I want to do
And if you find, it's not your time
You still need space to grow
Kiss me goodbye, and Carla go
I took you home, you spent the night
It felt so wrong, but it felt so right
And Carla, I don't know what you're doing here
But it feels so good to hold you near me
(chorus) Oh Carla don't go
It's been a few days since I've heard your voice
And i'll understand it if this is your choice
But Carla, everytime I think of you
I just don't know what i'm gonna do - without you
(chorus)
kiss me goodbye, and Carla go.. Whoa no...don't kiss me goodbye and Carla go...
