Nothin' Left But Leavin'

(album: A Sunshiny Day With Charley Pride - 1972)

Tonight it's so cold the rain is falling but it's still not as cold as your love for me
That's why I'm walking down this highway and a diesel going my way
Will take me far from you and you'll be free
There was nothing left but leaving for us in Tulsa
But then again the same was throughout in LA
Seems like trouble always finds us so I broke the tie that binds us
There was nothing left but leaving anyway

We tried to find our dreams in New Mexico
But the answers just weren't there in Santa Fe
And we could blame it all on Texas but the problem now we fuss is
We never had what we thought anyway
There was nothing left but leaving any longer
And I finally found the strenght to walk away
Tell the kids their daddy loves them they'll understand I'm thinking of them
There was nothing left but leaving anyway there was nothing left but leaving anyway
