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
