Well, I was thinking that I shoulda,
But I didnt ever leave you,
But baby, Im leavin tonight
And theres 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 Im gonna tonight.

Cause I got a bucket full of tears and a hard luck story
Theres a bad moon rising behind
And I swore it to your daddy that I loved you, but I changed my mind.
Well, Im a fast talking, hell raising, son of a bitch
And Im a sinner and I know how to fight
Well, I can leave you if I wanna, little baby and Im 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 theres a man there with you tonight.
And I swore it to your daddy that I missed you, but I didnt
If I came back it wouldnt be right.
Cause I can leave you if I wanna, little baby and Im gonna tonight.
