Out in the country the road meets the sky I see the driveway I'm kneeling beside All the old pictures are hung on display Makes me wonder, what if I stayed? You always told me that you wanted me to go far Watching me leave, I know that it breaks your heart I'm getting older but we will stay young in my mind I'm going places but I'll never leave you behind Out on the courthouse I'm holding your hand I'll always be your young country man I may make promises but I will never make plans And if I hurt you I hope that you will understand Speak of the devil and in you walk into my life I'm going places but I'll never leave you behind Now that I'm older and seen what you saw A thousand excuses and I've heard them all And if I leave you I know that you'll always be mine Wish I could be there but there's Always mountains to climb Go see the ocean and I will return here in time I'm going places but I'll never leave you behind I'm going places but I'll never leave you behind

Walk away, leave with my blessin' Once in a while, let me hear from you If we never meet again before my life is over I'll leave this world lovin' you You can take everything but my memories For they're good ones and they'll see me through If we never meet again, I'll love you forever I'll leave this world lovin' you You were mine for a time and I'm thankful Oh, but life will be so lonesome without you If we never meet again this side of heaven I'll leave this world lovin' you If we never meet again this side of heaven I'll leave this world lovin' you

If you leave me Take my heart Take my heart If you leave me tonight I will cry Though you say we will Soon meet again For the hours I've Spent here with you Are like words From a poet's pen Words like love and Truth and goodness Words like til Death us do part I will never love another Take my heart, take my heart Take my heart (take my heart) Yes, the hours I've Spent here with you Are like words From a poet's pen Words like love and Truth and goodness Words like til Death us do part I will never love another Take my heart, take my heart Take my heart (take my heart) Take my heart, take my heart Take my heart (take my heart)

Sometimes I wonder who you are Sometimes I whisper to my heart Is this right? Am I wrong? Will this doubt soon be gone? The voices get louder, in my head 'Cause of some stupid shit I said I'm a wreck, I'm a mess Could you please come to bed? Well do you even care anymore? Do you not care about who we are, who we were Oh I feel so, far from you And we're both locked in the same room Have I lost you, are we through, how do I know? Cause I leave it to you, I leave it to you First with the sorrys, then you're gone And still no answer on the phone No excuse, not a word, why you act so absurd Oh you can blame it, all on me, I was so stupid, I agree Lost my time, lost the thrill, lost the battle, up the hill Well do you even care anymore Do you not care about who we are, who we were Oh I feel so, far from you, and we're both locked in the same room Have I lost you, are we through, how do I know? Do I know, when you don't even care anymore You do not care about who we are, who we were Oh you don't think of, good enough Then stop wasting my time If I lost you, if we're through I couldn't care less, 'cause I'm leaving you Oh I'm leaving you Darling, I'm leaving you
