Leave The Past Behind lyrics

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
