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
