[VERSE 1]

 

Her words shot right through my heart

Said she needed a new start

And that she didn’t want me anymore

Lord knows, she ain’t the first

But this time surely hurts the worst

I’ve never faced lonely like this before

 

[VERSE 2]

 

In the past I’d make a stand

Deal myself a brand new hand

That’s just he way I’ve always been

But staying here sure is rough

And right now I don’t feel so tough

Seems like a battle I can’t win

 

[CHORUS]

 

I’m gonna…hide out in Santa Fe

Maybe…fall back to L.A.

I might…regroup in Reno

Where there’s lots of people who like to play

This time I just can’t stay, can’t get far enough away

And I’ll…live to fight lonely another day

 

[VERSE 3]

 

It’s hard to fight what you can’t see

And lonely is an enemy

That hides somewhere deep inside your mind

Maybe I should stay right here

And do my best to face my fear

But I’d rather pick another place and time

 

[CHORUS]

 

[BRIDGE]

 

This ain’t no surrender

But this ole heart is just too tender

I need a little time…to let these wounds heal

 

[CHORUS]
