I thought I'd walk away and not look back
And I'd be alright
Without you
Forget about yesterday and just like that
Without a second thought
About you
I'm at a truck stop south of Phoenix
Tryin' to keep on rollin' like a stone
I'm finding out the hard way
This time leaving is a long way from gone
I warm my coffee up and hit the road
Catch one last view
Of the silver moon
I see that morning sun's crimson glow
I know that western sky
Would light up the sea
Wanted me to stay
But she knew I was the kind that just moves on
Yeah I'm finding out the hard way
This time leaving is a long way from gone
There's freedom in the windshield
It don't feel the way I thought it'd feel
This time around
And in my rear view mirror the highway's
Disappearing like the best chance I had
To settle down
It's always been so easy
To leave with no regrets and say so long
I'm finding out the hard way
This time leaving is a long way from gone
I don't know where I'm going
But my heart is telling me where I belong
I'm finding out the hard way
This time leaving is a long way from gone
I'm finding out the hard way
This time leaving is a long way from gone
