I'd Just As Soon Go

George Strait · Blue Clear Sky [MCA] [1996]

(Dean Dillon/Aaron Barker)



You say you want to talk it over

Want to try again

But there's no way of workin' it out

This love that we're not in.



We could talk and talk and accomplish nothin'

We've tried it all before

It's time somebody did some walkin'

And I can see the door.



So, I'd just as soon go

I'd just as soon say goodbye

There's no reason to prolong

What we should just let die.



And I'd just as soon stop

I'd just as soon end the madness

Knowin' what I know

I'd just as soon go.



It's not an easy thing to do

Leavin' seldom ever is

But stayin' just to see us through

Just ain't no way to live.



It's hard for you to understand

But we're better off this way

I can't fake it one more night

Or take it one more day.



So, I'd just as soon go

I'd just as soon say goodbye

There's no reason to prolong

What we should just let die.



And I'd just as soon stop

I'd just as soon end the madness

Knowin' what I know

I'd just as soon go.



Knowin' what I know

I'd just as soon go...
