it’s time to leave so let me go i’ve just been wasting time
i’ll call you in a year or so if i can spare a dime
we couldn’t change the bad to good the good lord knows we tried
and a one way love just ain’t no good and i can’t live a lie
so i’ll just hit the road a cryin’ low i’ll walk so fast you’ll never know
i’m cryin’ and dyin’
before one teardrop hits the ground i’ll be halfway across this town and gone
[ steel + strings ]
perhaps in time the hurt will heal if i just walk away
i love you so i hate to go but there’s no other way
so i’ll just hit the road…
before one teardrop hits the ground i’ll be halfway across this town and gone
