keep putting state lines between us
one or two more state lines between us
i never dreamed you’d be so heartless

half my good book time’s passed by
half that promised time has passed on by
i’m not gonna worry ‘til the day I die

you talked about life’s give and take
forever preachin’ about life’s give and take
but just givin’ is no piece of cake

about all you left me is an empty bed
here i am lying in an empty bed
who’ll be here tonight is best left unsaid

keep movin’ outa my memory lane
get out…i want you out…of my memory lane
i’m seeing blue skies and no, no sign of rain
