Didn’t I give you a reason? Why can’t you believe it? This just ain’t me leavin’ for a while Almost back to Dallas A thousand miles sure was long enough to talk about us for one night Not sayin’ there wasn’t somethin’, sayin’ it meant nothin’ I ain’t callin’ back So before you say “I love you” I need to say “Goodbye” I know you’re hangin’ on so I’m hangin’ up before you change my mind Texas over and out, Carolina still on the line I don’t wanna feel guilty for tryin’ to be happy Traffic lights are flashin’ & it’s way too late Didn’t we talk about this in Memphis? By Little Rock you said you meant it
And here we are again and it’s startin’ to rain Not sayin’ there wasn’t somethin’ but you can’t say nothin’ I ain’t comin’ back So before you say “I love you” I need to say “Goodbye” I know you’re hangin’ on so I’m hangin’ up before you change my mind Texas over and out, Carolina still on the line Tears in my eyes The longer we talk I wonderin’ if what I’m doin’ is right So before I say “I love you” I need to say “Goodbye” ‘Cause I’m the one that’s hangin’ on so I’m hangin’ up Before I change my mind Texas over and out Carolina still on the line Still on the line Still on the line
