Description?
Lyrics[Verse 1]
You ever wake up, just 'bout the break of day
You ever wake up, just 'bout the break of day
With your arms around the pillow where Mr. So-and-So used to lay

[Verse 2]
I'm goin' away, baby, won't be back until fall
I'm goin' away, baby, won't be back until fall
If I don't win no money, I won't be back at all

[Verse 3]
I heard you crackin' early this morn
I heard you crackin' early this morn
If you don't think I'm leavin', count the days that I'll be gone
[Verse 4]
If the river was liquor and I was a duck
Mmm, and I was a duck
I would go to the bottom and I would never come up

[Verse 5]
I'm leavin' this town, got on my last pair of shoes
I'm leavin' this town, got on my last pair of shoes
Walkin' away from here with those down the country bluesYou might also like
