I Couldn't Leave You If I Tried

Rodney Crowell · Street Language/diamonds And Dirt [2011]

The sun is coming up and I'm just going down

Everywhere I look the world keeps turning round

Though I said I never would be satisfied

Baby I lied, I couldn't leave you if I tried



Sometimes I get lost out on this sad old town

And every bridge I cross just turns me upside down

And every stumbling step I take back to your side

Hurts my pride, I couldn't leave you if I tried



Well I could not walk away no matter what I say

I won't be leaving, believe it or don't

You're all that I want



Tears may fall but after all is said and done

Darlin' please believe me you're the only one

And I'll admit mistakes I've made me realize

Baby I lied, I couldn't leave you if I tried



I won't be leaving you no matter what I do

I'm gonna see it through to the end and do it again



Years may come and friends may go but that's ok

Darlin' you're the only one I need to stay

I know I said I never would be satisfied

Baby I lied, I couldn't leave you if I tried

I couldn't leave you if I tried
