Susan Raye Lyrics
"Across This Town and Gone"

(Buck Owens - Gene Price)

It's time to leave so let me go
We've just been wasting time
Call me in a year or so
If you can spare a dime.

We couldn't change the bad to good
The good Lord knows we tried
And a one way love just ain't no good
And I can't live a lie.

So I'll just hit the road a cryin' low
I'll walk so fast you'll never know I'm cryin' and dyin'
Before one teardrop hits the ground
I'll be halfway across this town and gone.

--- Instrumental ---

Perhaps in time the hurt will heal
If I just walk away
I love you so I hate to go
But there's no other way.

So I'll just hit the road a cryin' low
I'll walk so fast you'll never know I'm cryin' and dyin'
Before one teardrop hits the ground
I'll be halfway across this town and gone.

Before one teardrop hits the ground
I'll be halfway across this town and gone...
