Leave The Past Behind

[Verse 1]
Sittin' in this old honky-tonk in Tulsa
Trying to drink her memory off my mind
But if she only knew how much I loved her
Well she would be here by my side

[Verse 2]
It seems I spend a lot of time talking to myself
I even count the shadows on the walls
I guess there's a lesson to be learned in this
Never get so high that you can't take a fall

[Chorus]
Now folks think I'm goin' crazy
Just because I've lost my mind
What will it take to ever save me?
If I could leave the past behind

[Verse 3]
I wonder what she's doing back in Tennessee
And do I ever really cross her mind
She's probably out with all of her old friends
Sippin' and toasting champagne and wine
Do you thinks she ever speaks of me?
Do you think she even gives a damn?
I know she will learn a lesson from all of this
'Cause what goes up must come down

[Chorus]
Now folks think I'm goin' crazy
Just because I've lost my mind
What will it take to ever save me?
If I could leave the past behind
What will it take to ever save me?
If I could leave the past behind
If I could leave the past behind
Folks think I'm goin' crazy
What's it gonna take to ever save me?
If I could leave the past behind
