[Verse 1]
Well, I was thinking that I shoulda
But I didn't ever leave you
But baby, I'm leavin tonight
And there's a trucker drinking coffee in the station who can give me a ride
Well, I was thinking about a heading to Mobile, Alabama
And that was just last Saturday night
I can leave you if I wanna, little baby and I'm gonna tonight

[Chorus]
'Cause I got a bucket full of tears and a hard luck story
There's a bad moon rising behind
And I swore it to your daddy that I loved you
But I changed my mind
Well, I'm a fast talking, hell raising, son of a bitch
And I'm a sinner and I know how to fight
Well, I can leave you if I wanna, little baby and I'm gonna tonight

[Chorus]
'Cause I got a bucket full of tears and a hard luck story
There's a bad moon rising behind
And I swore it to your daddy that I loved you
But I changed my mind
Well, I'm a fast talking, hell raising, son of a bitch
And I'm a sinner and I know how to fight
Cause I can leave you if I wanna, little baby and I'm gonna tonight
[Verse 2]
Well I was sitting, I was drinking on a barstool
Thinking how true love becomes a lie
And I never should have left you
But I had to, and I betcha there's a man there with you tonight
And I swore it to your daddy that I missed you, but I didn't
If I came back it wouldn't be right
Cause I can leave you if I wanna, little baby and I'm gonna tonight
