Well, i was thinking that i shoulda,
But i didn't ever leave you,
But baby, i'm leavin tonight
And there's a trucker drinking coffee in the station who can give me a ride.
Well, i was thinking about a heading to mobile, alabama
And that was just last saturday night.
I can leave you if i wanna, little baby and i'm gonna tonight.
Cause i got a bucket full of tears and a hard luck story
There's a bad moon rising behind
And i swore it to your daddy that i loved you, but i changed my mind.
Well, i'm a fast talking, hell raising, son of a bitch
And i'm a sinner and i know how to fight
Well, i can leave you if i wanna, little baby and i'm gonna tonight.

Well i was sitting, i was drinking on a barstool
Thinking how true love becomes a lie
And i never should have left you
But i had to, and i betcha there's a man there with you tonight.
And i swore it to your daddy that i missed you, but i didn't
If i came back it wouldn't be right.
Cause i can leave you if i wanna, little baby and i'm gonna tonight.
