Told her when I left, baby
There ain't no reason to fret I'll
Be back soon don't you know
She just sat there and cried and I
Told her it would be right then I
Turned and walked right out the door

She cried said no no no don't go I
Know I gotta be strong it just
Hurts not havin' you to hold
Boy I know you gotta follow your dreams
Baby thats alright with me just
Promise me one thing before you go
Will you think of me when you're out there on the road?

Well I was just outside of Tennessee when I
I heard the phone ring it was
Her on the other line
She said I'm sorry about this it's just
Fame and love don't mix
I'm gonna gave to let you go

Well I cried said no no no don't go
I know I gotta be strong it just
Hurts not havin' you to hold
Girl I know you gotta follow your dreams and baby
Thats alright with me just
Promise me one thing before you go
Will you think of me when you're out there on the road?
I said no no no don't go
I know I gotta be strong it just
Hurts not havin' you to hold
Baby I know we followed our dreams
Well where did that lead?
Down some old lonesome road
But I'll think of you
Oh I'll think of you
Oh I'll think of you
When I'm out there on the road
