Please dont hate me mama for what Im about to do
But the good times weve had together are just
about now through
Please dont misunderstand me, I hate to see you
cry
But I think that it might look better if I told
you now goodbye

Im back on the road again, its time I leave you
now
And maybe Ill see you next time, that Im around
Until then I hope your happy baby and good [bad word] your way
Im back on the road again, Im on my way

Well Ive loved you since the day I met you and Ill
love you till the day I die
But we both know the life Im livin and we both
know the reason why
That Ive got to leave ya mama and Ive got to leave
today
But you know that Ill see you next time that [bad word] through your town to play
