George Strait - Why Can't I Leave Her Alone lyrics

rate me

I know I don't want her, I swear that's a fact

But the thought of somebody else rubbing her back

Just kills me

Oh, it kills me.

I know she don't love me, I know she ain't home

So why in the hell do I pick up the phone

And call her

Why do I call her?

Chorus:

I've dropped by her momma's stoned out of my mind

Just to hear that it's over from her one more time

As if I didn't see that red Chevy not slowing down

Loaded down and rolling down our road

Yeah, she's already left

So why can't I leave her alone.

I've wrote her letters signed I was a fool

She wrote me back saying go find a stool

And drink one

Like you've always done

So that's what I did 'cause that's what I always do

Backsliding, hiding away from the truth

'Til the tears run

Oh, here comes one,

Chorus:

I've dropped by her momma's stoned out of my mind

Just to hear that it's over from her one more time

As if I didn't see that red Chevy not slowing down

Loaded down and rolling down our road

Yeah, she's already left

So why can't I leave her alone.

I've dropped by her mama's stoned out of my mind

Just to hear that it's over from her one more time

As if I didn't see that red Chevy not slowing down

Or turning 'round, loaded down, heading out of town

Or rolling down our road

She's actually left

So why can't I leave her alone.

I know I don't want her, I swear that's a fact

But the thought of somebody else rubbing her back

Just kills me...
