Leave the Past Behind

Sitting in this old honky-tonk in Tulsa

Trying to drink her memory off 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 talking to myself

I even count the shadows on the walls

I guess there's a lesson to be learned in this

Never get so high that you can't take a fall

Now folks think I'm goin' crazy

Just because I've lost my mind

What will it take to ever save me

If I could leave the past behind

I wonder what she's doing back in Tennessee

Do I ever really cross her mind

She's probably out with all of her old friends

Sippin' and toasting champagne and wine

Do you thinks she ever speaks of me

Do you think she even gives a damn

I know she will learn a lesson from all of this

Cause what goes up must come down

Now folks think I'm goin' crazy

Just because I've lost my mind

What will it take to ever save me

If I could leave the past behind

What will it take to ever save me

If I could leave the past behind

If I could leave the past behind
