I Couldn't Leave You If I Tried Songtext
von Rodney Crowell

The sun is comin′ up and I'm just goin′ down
Everywhere I look the world keeps turnin' 'round
Though I said, I never would be satisfied

Oh 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
It 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 'til the end
And do it again
Years may come and friends may go but that′s okay
Darlin' you′re the only one I need to stay
And 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
