First To Hit The Road

Why you actin' so surprised I'm leavin'?

We ain't been happy for some time

And don't pretend you don't know the reasons

I never made you read my mind

So go on, blame me, honey

Turn this whole town on me

Act like you were last to know

And lie 'til you believe it

Say all I'm good for's leavin'

Just 'cause I'm first to hit the road

But, baby, you left me

Yeah, you left me a long time ago

All I wanted was for you to listen

To hold me when I was scared

And I tried but couldn't close the distance

Even when you were right there

Only time you ever paid attention

Was when tears rolled down my face

Packin' up my suitcase, so

Yeah, go on, blame me, honey

Turn this whole town on me

Act like you were last to know

And lie 'til you believe it

Say all I'm good for's leavin'

Just 'cause I'm first to hit the road

But, baby, you left me

Yeah, you left me a long time ago

Mm

Mmhmm

Just rolled in to Texarkana

I'll be in Dallas by tonight

Just called to say goodbye

Go on blame me, honey

Turn that whole town on me

Act like you were last to know, mm

And lie 'til you believe it

Say all I'm good for's leavin'

Just 'cause I'm first to hit the road

But, baby, you left me

Yeah, you left me a long time ago
