Roger Miller
Leavin’s Not the Only Way to Go (1985 Original Broadway Cast)
[Huckleberry Finn]
Did the morning come too early?
Was the night not long enough?
Does a tear of hesitation fall on
Everything you touch?
Well, it might just be a lesson
For the hasty heart to know
Maybe leavin's not the only way to go
[Mary Jane Wilkes]
Maybe lay and let your feelings
Grow accustomed to the dark
And, by morning's light, you just might solve
The problems of the heart
And it all might be a lesson
For the hasty heart to know
Maybe leavin's not the only way to go
[Jim and Mary Jane]
People reach new understandings all the time
They take a second look
Maybe change their minds
[Huck, Jim, and Mary Jane]
People reach new understandings every day
Tell me not to reach
[Huckleberry Finn]
And I'll go away
[Huck, Jim, and Mary Jane]
Did the morning come too early?
Was the night not long enough?
[Huckleberry Finn]
Does a tear of hesitation fall on
Everything you touch?
[Huck, Jim, and Mary Jane]
Well, it might just be a lesson
For the hasty heart to know
[Huckleberry Finn]
Maybe leavin's not the only way to go
And a heart without a home
Is such a lonesome row to hoe
Maybe leavin's not the only way to go
