I Couldn't Leave You If I Tried


The sun is coming up
And I'm just going down
Everywhere I look the world keeps turning round

And though I said I never could 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 but I couldn't leave you if I tried

Well I could not walk away, no matter what I say, I won't believe it, believe it or don't
You're all that I want

Tears may fall but after all is said and done
Darling 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

Go ahead boy

That old steel guitar

I won't be leaving soon, no matter what I do, I'm gonna see it through to the end
And do it again

Years may come and friends may go, but that's okay
Darling you're the only one, I need to stay
I know I said I never could be satisfied
And baby I lied, I couldn't leave you if I tried
I couldn't leave you if I tried
