Just Leave Me Alone

JUST LEAVE ME ALONE



When we first me you swept me off my feet

Said San Antonio livin' would be a treat

Gave up my car and my old southern home

Thought life with you would beat my bein' alone



You're a long distance trucker always on the road

You dumped me on your mama, hey that's a load

I worked to feed your kids; you paid for your truck

No money for six months; you said "tough luck"



(CHORUS)

Just leave me alone.. I don't need you

Too many years now I've been on my own

You've given me much grief & pain & it's not right

I'll be brief and don't want to start a fight

Leave me alone (spoken)

Just leave me alone



Why do you always call from out of town

And bring up hurts that really cut me down

Then after each uncalled-for bitter fight

I toss and turn and worry half the night



You lied and beat me up when times were rough

You must believe that I've had enough

No need to write sad notes or beg on the phone

Why don't you just give up and leave me alone



CHORUS



I've done most every job 'cept walk the street

I'm on my own again and feel complete

You say you love me; it'll be different this time

I know you'd walk out; leave me without a dime



CHORUS
