Gene Watson lyrics - This Just Ain't No Good Day for Leavin'

album: Love in the Hot Afternoon [EMI-Capitol] (1975)
album: Love in the Hot Afternoon & Paper Rosie (2002)
genre: 

(Dallas Frazier - Sanger D. Shafer)

The handle on my suitcase is coming off again
And the cleaners only sent back half my things
The forecast of the weather says we're in for heavy rain
And you know I don't like driving in the rain.

I wish the sun was shining I'd be on the road right now
With nothing but a good time on my mind
I hope that you don't think that you're the reason I'm still here
Or think that love is puttin' off goodbye.

This just ain't no good day for leavin'
Against my wants and wishes I guess I'll have to stay
This just ain't no good day for leavin'
If it's alright with you I think I'll wait.
(Think I'll wait, think I'll wait, think I'll wait.)

Today my eyes are misty and I'm all choked up inside
It's funny how a cold can make you cry
Jimmy called and said he found my lighter in his car
Can I help it if he can't come by till five.

Just because I don't let on how much my heart has changed
Don't think that I can't walk right out that door
If I still cared for you I'd find a way to stall for time
It's a good thing I don't love you anymore.

This just ain't no good day for leavin'
Against my wants and wishes I guess I'll have to stay
This just ain't no good day for leavin'
If it's alright with you I think I'll wait.
(Think I'll wait, think I'll wait)

Just think I'll wait...
