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.



--- Instrumental ---



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...
