Leave the Past Behind — текст песни (Joe Nichols)

Sittin` in this ol` honky tonk in Tulsa
Tryin` to drink her memory of my mind
If she only knew how much I loved her
She would be here by my side
It seems I spend a lot of time talkin` to myself
I even count the shadows on my wall
I guess there`s a lesson to be learned in this
Never get so high that you can`t take a fall

Chorus:
Now folks think I`m going crazy
Just because I`ve lost my mind
What will it take to ever save me
If I can leave the past behind

I wonder what she`s doin` back in Tennessee
And do I even cross her mind
She`s probably out with all of her old friends
Sippin` and toastin` on champaign and wine
Do you think that she ever speaks of me
Or do you think she even gives a damn
I know she would learn a lesson from all of this
If what goes up, must come down

Chorus

What will it take to ever save me
If I could leave the past behind
If I could leave the past behind
Folks think I`m going crazy
What`s it gonna take to ever save me
If I could leave the past behind
