Lyrics
I found the button off my favorite shirt, been gone for quite a while
It was in some dust and dirt that formed a little pile
Right next to the closet where the dresser used to be
She took all my furniture so it was plain to see
I always loved that cowboy shirt it's shiny and it's black
It's one more thing she took with her, that girl knows how to pack
Hey, Hey she went away - she cleaned me out without a doubt
Hey, Ho just let her go - I'm back on track
I lost my shirt, but I got my button back
There was absolutely nothing in that house when she got through
Then she called with more good news - the house is going too
Now I'm standing in the driveway by a car that isn't there
And I don't need a suitcase 'cause I got nothing left to wear
But I still have this button, and even though it's not a lot
I'm keeping it because I know it's the one thing she ain't got
Hey, Hey she went away - she cleaned me out without a doubt
Hey, Ho just let her go - I'm back on track
I lost my shirt, but I got my button back
I know that button off my favorite shirt will always be with me
A shiny little reminder off all that used to be
That girl left me with nothin' but this button and a vow
To buy another cowboy shirt and I'm gonna do it now
I'll sew this button on that shirt and if it don't match, oh well --
I'll wear that button like a sign that says she can go to --
Hey, Hey she went away - she cleaned me out without a doubt
Hey, Ho just let her go - I'm back on track
I lost my shirt, but I got my button back
