(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
