Found myself sitting on the water again Talking about love to a cigarette Both of us burning down While the smoke goes on to rest Friends all tell me I should get away But I'm having old feelings like I should stay How can I just up and go when I still feel right here? I ain't been happy since I left you. I've been traveling around like I said I would But it ain't right, girl, if it ain't you The sun comes up and he says, hello Give me a chance and we can go some place easy Some place slow where we don't have to change There comes a time when an honest man Has to hang up his hat and give his hand To the woman he knows and loves and hope it'll be ok I ain't been happy since I met you I've been traveling around like I said I would But it ain't right, girl, if it ain't you I always said I'd never leave. I'm wrong. I'm gone
