Diesel smoke climbin' to the clear blue sky I sit here wonderin' wanderin' why
I leave her everytime I love her
Green gra** growin' by picket fence Lord I just don't make no sense
But I leave her everytime I love her
I guess it's just to my blood to roam I ain't never had no permanent home
So I leave her everytime I love her
I guess it's just knowin' that she'll be there
With her dark brown eyes and her yellow hair
And I love her Lord knows I love her
Though my mind's dis-satisfied just a hoppin' that big ole Mack and ride
And leave her everytime I love her
I guess it's just to my blood to roam I ain't never had no permanent home
So I leave her everytime I love her
[ guitar - steel ]
One of these days I wanna go back
To that yelllow haired girl and the tumble down shack
And never leave her all I do is love her
Well I guess to that I'll be content
Just to drivin' this track and sendin' home the rent
And leave her everytime I love her
Well I guess it's just to my blood to roam I ain't never had no permanent home
So I leave her everytime I love her
You guess it I really love her
