A Note Lyrics

I had a woman

She loved me I know

But there came a day

When I knew I had to go

We looked for a place

Settled for a trailer down in Pueblo

She moved in

But I wanted out of Colorado

I was on the freeway

Before the sun had hit the mountain peaks

Left a note by her head on the side of the bed it said

I'd be a few weeks

And she read

Baby it's too strong this call away from home

Baby it's too hard to sit still

Baby it's too much too soon

To not be singing my own tune

I need you to try to understand

I found myself alone out on that road

But the freedom's silver lining

Couldn't outshine her gold hair

Her smile, like the suns own rays

Passing through the eye of the storm

Blowing me back toward home

The restaurant cashier asked me

To donate to a local cause

A girl had passed her picture on the glass

But it was her face I saw

That was the last straw

Baby it's too long

I've been away from you

Baby it's too far down the road

Baby it's too much to lose

To keep singing out the blues

I need you to help me be a man

Yeah yeah

I roll in, middle of the night

Open the door, turn on the light

All my things, scattered around

Not a trace, not a sound

Then I found it, by the phone

A note she knew I'd read alone

Maybe it's true, I'm wrong

To keep you here with me

But baby it's true, that car of yours

Is more your love than I'll ever be

It's true, I'm leaving you

So don't you try to stop me

I need you to try to understand

Yeah yeah

Baby it's too long I've been away from you

Baby it's too far down the road

Baby it's too much to lose to keep singing out my own blues

I need you to help me be a man

Yeah yeah

Take my coat, leave a note behind me

Try to follow the road

Take my coat, come and try to find me

Chase me all the way home
