You Leave Alone Lyrics - Lovers And Leavers - Hayes Carll

Billy built cars that never went nowehere 

Only thing working was the dull radio 

He sat on the front seat, listening to baseball 

Dreaming 'bout places that he'll never go 

He liked to ride bulls and tease all his children 

Make up new words that meant nothing at all 

Curse the stories that had left him in 

Hum an old tune, cry as they fall 

Warm conversation 

Short term destination 

Can lead to a lifetime 

Away from home 

No plans worth making 

All the big dreams were taken 

But you leave this world 

You leave alone 

Oh, the money was good on the road in the springtime 

But one look from that girl and he settled down 

And he laughed right out loud when she said Mississippi 

He said "I've never been there but I like how it sounds" 

Warm conversation 

Short term destination 

Can lead to a lifetime 

Away from home 

No plans worth making 

All the big dreams were taken 

But you leave this world 

You leave alone 

But you leave this world 

You leave it alone
