Tucson Too Soon Lyrics - Tracy Byrd

Tonight, on a plane bound for Dallas 

I see the bright lights of Tucson below 

Shining on all of the memories 

I thought I'd finally let go 

It's been almost a year now 

Since I told her I could not stay 

And this achin' in my heart that I'm feelin' now 

Is the price, I guess, I'll have to pay 

For leavin' Tucson too soon 

At the time it was something that I just had to do 

But tonight, face to face, with that old desert moon 

It seems I left Tucson too soon 

From thirty-five thousand feet up in the sky 

The truth becomes clearer, you know 

'Cause it wasn't till now that I realized 

The fool that I was long ago
