Please don`t hate me mama for what I`m about to do
But the good times we`ve had together are just about now through
Please don`t misunderstand me, I hate to see you cry
But I think that it might look better if I told you now goodbye
I`m back on the road again, it`s time I leave you now
And maybe I`ll see you next time, that I`m around
Until then I hope your happy baby and good times come your way
I`m back on the road again, I`m on my way
Well I`ve loved you since the day I met you and I`ll love you til the day I die
But we both know the life I`m livin` and we both know the reason why
That I`ve got to leave ya mama and I`ve got to leave today
But you know that I`ll see you next time that I come through your town to play
