Joe Nichols Leave The Past Behind Lyrics

Leave The Past Behind Lyrics

Sittin' in this ol' honky tonk in Tulsa

Tryin' to drink her memory of my mind

If she only knew how much I loved her

She would be here by my side

It seems I spend a lot of time talkin' to myself

I even count the shadows on my wall

I guess there's a lesson to be learned in this

Never get so high that you can't take a fall



Chorus:

Now folks think I'm going crazy

Just because I've lost my mind

What will it take to ever save me

If I can leave the past behind



I wonder what she's doin' back in Tennessee

And do I even cross her mind

She's probably out with all of her old friends

Sippin' and toastin' on champaign and wine

Do you think that she ever speaks of me

Or do you think she even gives a damn

I know she would learn a lesson from all of this

If what goes up, must come down



Chorus



What will it take to ever save me

If I could leave the past behind

If I could leave the past behind

Folks think I'm going crazy

What's it gonna take to ever save me

If I could leave the past behind
