It'll be twelve months to the day 
And an hour since you left me 
Eleven months three weeks since I left town 
First stop was tendin' bar down in Baton Rouge 
Thinkin' I could get away from you 
But you were on my mind every time I turned around 
So then I went to Austin, Texas then Phoenix 
Then I flew outta LAX 
Lord I can't believe it's been a year 
I keep leavin but you're still here 

Touched down in Seattle waited tables in a coffee shop 
I tried me hand down in Reno dealin' cards 
I took a bus to try my luck on the East Coast 
Spent some time week with my blues in Chicago 
But eveywhere I went you were in my heart 
I almost thought I lost you in D.C. but in Boston 
Your memory caught up with me 
For every mile I've cried a million tears 
I keep leavin' but you're still here 

So if you're wonderin' why I'm 
Standing on your doorstep 
It's cause you never left 
I'm here to ask you for another chance 
'Cause baby just can't froget 
The way you used to hold me and show me 
You loved me like you'd never ever let go of me 
For me that feelin' never disappeared 
I keep leavin' but you're still here
