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
