Merle Haggard
This Town’s Not Big Enough
[Verse 1]
Today's the day I leave forever
This town where we once loved together
Now that love is gone, I guess I'm free
I'll leave behind both you and sorrow
And take just what I'll have tomorrow
When there's miles and miles and miles between this town and me
[Chorus]
This town's not big enough for both of us to be
I can't go anywhere without your memory
In every window pane, your face is all I see
This town's not big enough to hold both you and me
[Verse 2]
I'll drop the dreams I've held so tightly
Shed my tears and travel lightly
Anything to ease my heavy load
I'll find a town in far-off places
Where the windows have no faces
Many miles from anywhere along this lonely road
[Chorus]
This town's not big enough for both of us to be
I can't go anywhere without your memory
In every window pane, your face is all I see
This town's not big enough to hold both you and me
