Oh, I can't go on living, in this state of mind
It's stay and go crazy, or leave it all behind
One way or another, I'm gonna cross that line
I can't go on living, in this state of mind

There's no way to avoid her
Living in this tiny Texas town
So I'm packing up my broken heart
Leaving and I pray I don't break down
Well, I really love the Lone Star
But I can't stand seeing her around

Oh, I can't go on living, in this state of mind
It's stay and go crazy, or leave it all behind
One way or another, I'm a-gonna cross that line
I can't go on living, in this state of mind

I'm outside Amarillo
Feeling better every mile I roll
And when I hit San Rio
That's as far as her memory will go
Well, running from a woman
Might sound foolish I know

Oh, I can't go on living, in this state of mind
It's stay and go crazy, or leave it all behind
One way or another, I'm gonna cross that line
I can't go on living, in this state of mind

One way or another, I'm gonna cross that line
I can't go on living, in this state of mind
No, I can't go on living, in this state of mind...
