I thought I'd walk away and not look back And I'd be alright Without you Forget about yesterday and just like that Without a second thought About you I'm at a truck stop south of Phoenix Tryin' to keep on rollin' like a stone I'm finding out the hard way This time leaving is a long way from gone I warm my coffee up and hit the road Catch one last view Of the silver moon I see that morning sun's crimson glow I know that western sky Would light up the sea Wanted me to stay But she knew I was the kind that just moves on Yeah I'm finding out the hard way This time leaving is a long way from gone There's freedom in the windshield It don't feel the way I thought it'd feel This time around And in my rear view mirror the highway's Disappearing like the best chance I had To settle down It's always been so easy To leave with no regrets and say so long I'm finding out the hard way This time leaving is a long way from gone I don't know where I'm going But my heart is telling me where I belong I'm finding out the hard way This time leaving is a long way from gone I'm finding out the hard way This time leaving is a long way from gone
