I Just Can't Stop Leaving Town - Goodnight, Texas

It’s not that I grow weary of these streets

The highways and country roads

It’s not that I can’t get in some hanging around

Yeah, I just can’t stop leaving town

It’s not that I’ve been looking at my watch

Or shadows that grow on the grass

It’s not that I’ve got fearful of settling down

Yeah, I just can’t stop leaving town

And oh, babe, it’s lonely when I go away

And I get such an itch in my bones and I stay

It’s not that I’m not thirsty for your skin

The lines on the palm of your hand

It’s not that I just get lost, so I can be found

Yeah, I just can’t stop leaving town

Yeah, I just can’t stop leaving town

And oh, babe, there’s no need to drive me away

And I get such an itch in my bones and I stay

It’s not that I’ve been wanted for a crime

At least not one that anyone knows

It’s not that I’ve got fear of settling down

Yeah, I just can’t stop leaving town
