Why did you leave me, darlin'?
Just when the skies were sunny
You had to tell me goodbye
You said you'd always love me
Always would be my own
How come you're gone and left me
Gone and left me alone
Now that our love is over
I think that I will roam
I'd rather be a drifter
Making the highway my home
I hope you'll always be happy
'Cause if you are so am I
And though you left for another
I'll love you dear till I die
Now that our love is over
I think that I will roam
I'd rather be a drifter
Making the highway my home
I hope you'll always be happy
'Cause if you are so am I
And though you left for another
I'll love you dear till I die
I'll love you dear till I die
