Trying To Stop You Leaving Lyrics

Trying To Stop You Leaving lyrics

Got a guitar, got a guitar on my back

And I'm standing on this lonesome railroad track

Train's a coming, it'll be here 'fore too long

But I don't think I can stop it with a song



Girl, that's the kind of the way I'm feeling

Trying to stop your leaving



Got a pebble, got a pebble in my hand

And I toss it out into the middle of the Rio Grande

But the river keeps running

Don't even know that I'm around

I could throw in a million more and not slow it down



Girl, that's kind of the way I'm feeling

Trying to stop your leaving



There's nothing I wouldn't try

If I thought it would change your mind



But you don't love me, no, you don't love me anymore

And I know as soon as you walk out that door

Train's a coming, river's running, train's a coming

River's running, pain's a coming, tears are running



And that's kind of the way I'm feeling

Knowing I couldn't stop your leaving
