Last night I left you in Dallas
Never did leave your side
It rained all across Texas
Under blue skies
I tried to forget you
I tried not to care
It doesn't matter where I go
It seems you're always there

Leaving never gets me anywhere
I leave but I wind up right back here
By your side
Though my heart won't let me go
And God knows I care
'Cause leaving never gets me anywhere

Drove a hundred-odd miles, never did see your sign
Every turn and every crossroad
You crossed my mind
You can run from a fire, you can run from a fight
You can't run from a feeling
That runs deep inside

Leaving never gets me anywhere
I leave but I wind up right back here
By your side
Though my heart won't let me go
And God knows I care
'Cause leaving never gets me anywhere
Leaving never gets me anywhere
I leave but I wind up right back here
By your side
Though my heart won't let me go
And God knows I care
'Cause leaving never gets me anywhere

No, leaving never gets me anywhere
