[Verse 1]
No note, no explanation, no "Let me tell you why"
No signs of a problem, no long drawn out goodbye
I've been left before, this was a different deal
I think I just met the girl who invented the wheel
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 2]
There's a song about John Henry
How he beat that steam drill down
Well there ought to be one written
About how that girl leaves town
A real fast song with a lonesome feel
Called "There Goes the Girl Who Invented the Wheel"
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Bridge]
She's got it goin', goin' on
She's goin', goin', gone
[Verse 3]
She moves like molasses when you've got what she wants
Then she's as fast as lightnin' the minute that you don't
Well, I don't know why, but I want her still
I'm in love with the girl who invented the wheel
I don't know why, but I want her still
