I had a sky-blue, ragtop Mustang, 1964.
She drove it off into the night
til it just wouldn't go no more.
She caught a ride on into town,
Bought some gas and laid the top down,
Then she burned that pony to the ground
on the desert in New Mexico.
When Rita leaves, Rita's gone.
She gave me every chance a man could want.
I've never known a love so strong
Or so crazy when she's been done wrong.
When Rita leaves, Rita's gone. (Delbert McClinton)
