Hard Luck Story

well, i was thinking that i shoulda,
but i didn't ever leave you,
but baby, i'm leavin tonight
and there's a trucker drinking coffee in the station who can give me a ride.
well, i was thinking about a heading to mobile, alabama
and that was just last saturday night.
i can leave you if i wanna, little baby and i'm gonna tonight.
cause i got a bucket full of tears and a hard luck story
there's a bad moon rising behind
and i swore it to your daddy that i loved you, but i changed my mind.
well, i'm a fast talking, hell raising, son of a bitch
and i'm a sinner and i know how to fight
well, i can leave you if i wanna, little baby and i'm gonna tonight.

well i was sitting, i was drinking on a barstool
thinking how true love becomes a lie
and i never should have left you
but i had to, and i betcha there's a man there with you tonight.
and i swore it to your daddy that i missed you, but i didn't
if i came back it wouldn't be right.
cause i can leave you if i wanna, little baby and i'm gonna tonight.
