(mark nesler/tracy byrd) Tonight on a plane bound for dallas I see the bright lights of tucson below Shining on all of the memories I thought i'd finally let go It's been almost a year now Since i told her i could not stay And this achin' in my heart that i'm feelin' now Is the price i guess i'll have to pay For leavin' tucson too soon At the time it was something that i just had to do But tonight face to face with that old desert moon It seems i left tucson too soon From thirty-five thousand feet up in the sky The truth becomes clearer you know 'cause it wasn't till now that i realized The fool that i was long ago For leavin' tucson too soon At the time it was something that i just had to do But tonight face to face with that old desert moon It seems i left tucson too soon It seems i left tucson too soon
