Tonight it's so cold the rain is fallin' but it's still not as cold as your love for me That's why I'm walking down this highway and a diesel going my way Will take me far from you and you'll be free There was nothin' left but leavin' for us in Tulsa But then again the same was throughout in LA Seems like trouble always finds us so I broke the tie that binds us There was nothin' left but leavin' anyway We tried to find our dreams in New Mexico But the answers just weren't there in Santa Fe And we could blame it all on Texas but the problem now we fuss is We never had what we thought anyway There was nothin' left but leavin' any longer And I finally found the strenght to walk away Tell the kids their daddy loves them they'll understand I'm thinkin' of them There was nothin' left but leavin' anyway there was nothin' left but leavin' anyway
