Lyrics Merle Haggard

Merle Haggard

This Town's Not Big Enough

Today's the day I leave forever

This town where we once loved together

Now that love is gone I guess I'm free

I'll leave behind both you and sorrow

And take just what I'll have tomorrow

When there's miles and miles and miles

Between this town and me

This town's not big enough for both of us to be

I can't go anywhere without your memory

In every window pane your face is all I see

This town's not big enough to hold both you and me

I'll drop the dreams I've held so tightly

Shed my tears and travel lightly

Anything to ease my heavy load

I'll find a town in far-off places

Where the windows have no faces

Many miles from anywhere along this lonely road

This town's not big enough
