Leaving Meridian

Goodbye meridian

Your damned old oil fields and your cotton gins

I ain't coming back again

I've had enough of all your lost honky tonks

And rough neck sin

This leaving road is a straight shot to mexico

That's where i think i'll go

Cause just last night she told me no

She don't love me no more

So like a lonesome wind

I'm leaving meridian

Goodbye meridian

Your dime store profits and your livestock pens

I sure won't be missing when your locomotive whistles blow

And wake up the whole damn town at 5 am

This leaving road is a straight shot to mexico

That's where i think i'll go

Cause just last night she told me no

She don't love me no more

So like a lonesome wind

I'm leaving meridian

She had those clear blue eyes and that falling down hair

And it sure does get mighty lonesome out there

There ain't one good reason

Why i should stick around this old heartbroke town

When you just can't win

So i'm leaving meridian

I ain't coming back again

I'm leaving meridian
