When you look out your window and see her runnin away You start addin things up, how you let her down Now she's makin you pay, by runnin away It's just like some movie, one you've already seen You're playin the part of the guy all alone up there on the screen You know what that means Your sight's twenty 'cause you're lookin behind You only wish you had thought of some thing you could do To ease her mind, instead what you find is her runnin away Bury me in a lonesome valley So I can feel the sun goin up and down And I can hear that old river rollin
And the cryin wind is the only sound It takes a whole lifetime to learn how to live To know when it's time to stop takin And learn you've got something to give, that's how to live But that's not my story and I'm here all alone The only thing left is the sound of this house And me pacin alone, there's nobody home, and she's runnin away Bury me in a lonesome valley So I can feel the sun goin up and down And I can hear that old river rollin And the cryin wind is the only sound
