Tonight it's so cold the rain is fallin' but it's still not as cold as your love for me

That's why I'm walking down this highway and a diesel going my way

Will take me far from you and you'll be free

There was nothin' left but leavin' for us in Tulsa

But then again the same was throughout in LA

Seems like trouble always finds us so I broke the tie that binds us

There was nothin' left but leavin' anyway

[ fiddle ]

We tried to find our dreams in New Mexico

But the answers just weren't there in Santa Fe

And we could blame it all on Texas but the problem now we fuss is

We never had what we thought anyway

There was nothin' left but leavin' any longer

And I finally found the strenght to walk away

Tell the kids their daddy loves them they'll understand I'm thinkin' of them

There was nothin' left but leavin' anyway there was nothin' left but leavin' anyway
