So many times I`ve told I was leavin` and oh so many times how I have tried
But sayin` your leavin`s so much easier than leavin` and sayin` goodbye
Every time I`d start to go I wouldn`t get ten feet
I`d go runnin` back like a runaway child that`s afraid to cross the street
And my mind might tell my lips to say it`s over my heart would only say it`s a lie
And sayin` your leavin`s so much easier than leavin` and sayin` goodbye
[ fiddle - steel ]
Yeah every time I`d start to go...
Leavin` and sayin` goodbye
