lyrics

Held a torch for you and I walked the line
Babe you never called you never had time
Missed you so more than you'll ever know
But there was nothing I could do I had to get on with the show

I told you I would change but you did not believe
I've risen above your lack of faith in me
Someday girl the day will come soon
All those boys you turn away will all stop calling on you

And I don't know how I know or why I know what I know
Just gotta go gotta go gotta go
Yeah I don't know how I know or why I know what I know
Just gotta go gotta go gotta go

Time has got me on the ropes
Now he's landing every single blow
But I know what I am and what I have to do
I wasn't put on this earth only to sing the blues

People might ask me why I would leave
I had so much here going for me
I love this town, yes it's true
But I already did everything I set out to do

So I don't know how I know or why I know what I know
Just gotta go gotta go gotta go
Yeah I don't know how I know or why I know what I know
Just gotta go gotta go gotta go

Another false start you ain't going nowhere
The sign on your heart said closed for repair
It was just one kiss but I hope she knows
I felt it all the way down to my toes

Aw it doesn't matter that it all went wrong
My heart was in it but now it's gone
I gotta slow down and take my time
Soon I'll forget all about them good old days

So I don't know how I know or why I know what I know
Just gotta go gotta go gotta go
Yeah I don't know how I know or why I know what I know
Just gotta go gotta go gotta go
