Lyrics
On Down The Line
On a highway east of Birmingham.
I hate to leave you blue-that's the way I am.
I made it very clear, I couldn't stay for long. You didn't want to listen.
And I can't take you along.
I've been rich and God knows I've been poor.
And I don't wanna know what life may have in store.
You say we've just begun. But I'm only having fun.
I see it in your eyes. I can't stay here anymore.
My bags are packed I'm leaving.
I gotta move on down the line.
I've gotta get out of this town before I change my mind.
And if I heard you cry, I would have to stay.
For I should have been gone.....yesterday.
Baby if I stayed it would never be the same.
I hate to hurt you so, sometimes love is a game.
But now we are here and warm, protected from the storm. Oh but I can still feel those cold wild winds blow.
My bags are packed I'm leaving.
I gotta move on down the line.
I've gotta get out of this town before I change my mind.
And if I heard you cry, I would have to stay.
For I should have been gone.....yesterday.
My bags are packed I'm leaving.
I gotta move on down the line.
I've gotta get out of this town before I change my mind.
And if I heard you cry, I would have to stay.
For I should have been gone.....long before today.
So I'll move on down the line
On down the line
