Lyric Thinking About Leaving

(Rodney Crowell, Dwight Yoakam)

I used to think love was
The soft rope meant to tie me down
And all that could ever own me
Was a guitar and another town
Ten years can disappear real fast
When every morning just leaves somewhere else behind
But I ve been thinking about leaving
Long enough to change my mind

Lyin here beside you
I can feel it start to pull me away
The thought I ll have again tomorrow
That just came back from yesterday
But your embrace makes any reason
For those memories hard to find
And I ve been thinking about leaving
Long enough to change my mind

Sometimes I miss the warm, bright lights
Sometimes I miss the crowds
Sometimes I miss the women
I wrapped each song around
Sometimes I miss that world out there
So empty hard and unkind
But I ve been thinking about leaving
Long enough to change my mind

Sometimes I miss the warm, bright lights
Sometimes I miss the noise
Sometimes I miss the fading sounds
Of every cheering voice
Sometimes I miss that world out there
So empty hard and unkind
But I ve been thinking about leaving
Long enough to change my mind
I ve been thinking about leaving
Long enough to change my mind
