It's time to leave so let me go I've just been wastin' 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 crying low
I'll walk so fast you'll never know
I'm crying and dying
Before one teardrop hits the ground
I'll be halfway across this town and gone

[ guitar ]
Perhaps in time the hurt will heal if I just walk away
I love you so I hate to go there's no other way

I'll just hit the road a crying low...

Before one teardrop hits the ground
I'll be halfway across this town and gone
