Doobie Brothers Leave My Heartache Behind Lyrics

Leave My Heartache Behind Lyrics

Pat Simmons 

Soquel Songs (ASCAP) 



The hardest thing I've ever done 

Is say goodbye to you. 

But even though I love you baby, 

I know you can't be true. 

I walked down that country road 

Out to the big highway 

I caught a ride on an eighteen-wheeler 

And I'm takin' it all the way. 



Takin' all these blues to the highway 

Tryin' to get her out of my mind. 

When I'm out on the open road 

With the wind in my face, 

I'll leave my heartache behind. 



Raindrops on my window, 

Teardrops from my eyes, 

I thought our love was sacred 

Now I know that's just a lie. 

So I pack my suitcase 

And head out that old front door. 

Better take a long last look now baby 

'Cuz I won't be back no more. 



Takin' all these blues to the highway 

Tryin' to get her out of my mind. 

When I'm out on the open road 

With the wind in my face 

I'll leave my heartache behind.
