With my troubles far behind
I'm driving south on State Route 9
Tryin' to beat this train thats passin' by
I'm leavin' you this time
Before you leave me high and dry
I've had enough complications for a while

So when I'm gone you'll cry
And I'll sit here miss you
Lonesome with you burning on my mind

I'm torn up all inside
With all the things that made you cry
The gambling and the drinking and the lies
So I'm leaving you this time
I guess you're feelin' high and dry
And I wonder if I'll ever feel alright
