Leave The Past Behind

Sittin' in this ol' honky tonk in Tulsa Tryin' to drink her memory of 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 talkin' to myself I even count the shadows on my wall I guess there's a lesson to be learned in this Never get so high that you can't take a fall Chorus: Now folks think I'm going crazy Just because I've lost my mind What will it take to ever save me If I can leave the past behind I wonder what she's doin' back in Tennessee And do I even cross her mind She's probably out with all of her old friends Sippin' and toastin' on champaign and wine Do you think that she ever speaks of me Or do you think she even gives a damn I know she would learn a lesson from all of this If what goes up, must come down Chorus What will it take to ever save me If I could leave the past behind If I could leave the past behind Folks think I'm going crazy What's it gonna take to ever save me If I could leave the past behind
