Leave the Past Behind

<br>Sittin` in this ol` honky tonk in Tulsa<br>Tryin` to drink her memory of my mind<br>If she only knew how much I loved her<br>She would be here by my side<br>It seems I spend a lot of time talkin` to myself<br>I even count the shadows on my wall<br>I guess there`s a lesson to be learned in this<br>Never get so high that you can`t take a fall<br><br>Chorus:<br>Now folks think I`m going crazy<br>Just because I`ve lost my mind<br>What will it take to ever save me<br>If I can leave the past behind<br><br>I wonder what she`s doin` back in Tennessee<br>And do I even cross her mind<br>She`s probably out with all of her old friends<br>Sippin` and toastin` on champaign and wine<br>Do you think that she ever speaks of me<br>Or do you think she even gives a damn<br>I know she would learn a lesson from all of this<br>If what goes up, must come down<br><br>Chorus<br><br>What will it take to ever save me<br>If I could leave the past behind<br>If I could leave the past behind<br>Folks think I`m going crazy<br>What`s it gonna take to ever save me<br>If I could leave the past behind
