well, i was thinking that i shoulda,

but i didn't ever leave you,

but baby, i'm leavin tonight

and there's a trucker drinking coffee in the station who can give me a ride.

well, i was thinking about a heading to mobile, alabama

and that was just last saturday night.

i can leave you if i wanna, little baby and i'm gonna tonight.

cause i got a bucket full of tears and a hard luck story

there's a bad moon rising behind

and i swore it to your daddy that i loved you, but i changed my mind.

well, i'm a fast talking, hell raising, son of a bitch

and i'm a sinner and i know how to fight

well, i can leave you if i wanna, little baby and i'm gonna tonight.

well i was sitting, i was drinking on a barstool

thinking how true love becomes a lie

and i never should have left you

but i had to, and i betcha there's a man there with you tonight.

and i swore it to your daddy that i missed you, but i didn't

if i came back it wouldn't be right.

cause i can leave you if i wanna, little baby and i'm gonna tonight.
