Merle Haggard - This Town's Not Big Enough lyrics

rate me

(Liz Anderson - Donna Austin)

Today's the day I leave forever this town where we once loved together

Now that love is gone I guess I'm free

I'll leave behind both you and sorrow and take just what I'll have tomorrow

When there's miles and miles and miles between this town and me.

This town's not big enough for both of us to be

I can't go anywhere without your memory

In every window pane your face is all I see

This town's not big enough to hold both you and me.

--- Instrumental ---

I'll drop the dreams I've held so tightly shed my tears and travel lightly

Anything to ease my heavy load

I'll find a town in far-off places where the windows have no faces

Many miles from anywhere along this lonely road.

This town's not big enough for both of us to be

I can't go anywhere without your memory

In every window pane your face is all I see

This town's not big enough to hold both you and me...
