I'm leavin' this town, baby
The time has come for me to be on my way
Please, girl, now don't say nothin'
'Cuz there's nothin' you can do to make me stay

I sure won't be comin' back here, mama

It sure ain't worth my while to mention
Ihat my pride won't let me stay
And I'm sure you don't have no sweet intentions
To lay four roses down some sweet day

Oh, I sure won't be comin' back here, mama

Uhh

Oh, look out

Love, it sure ain't the reason
Child, I'm feelin' so torn down
'Cuz lovin' with a wild heart
It's always the season to run around
But if it's up to me
Lord, if it were up to me
If it was all just up to me?

I'd take those four roses off of your crown

Uhh

Yeah, just keep on goin'

Ooh, yeah

I sure can't wait now, mama
Ooh-ooh, lord, 'til I'm dead and gone
'Cuz my little girl, she's sure got somethin'
Ooh-ooh, oh, that I'd like to own
You know what I'm talkin' about
I sure won't be comin' back here, mama
