Across This Town And Gone

(album: Tall Dark Stranger - 1969)

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 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

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
