Lyrics

What I Leave Behind

Driving out of Mobile at eighty miles an hour
My foot on the floor, closing the door on the love that was ours
Headlights shine back at me like hard accusing eyes
What I leave behind I’ll never find again

What I did to wrong you was something some men do
They get a fever for a sweet señorita in an unfamiliar room
Passion fires consume them; another good love dies
What I leave behind I’ll never find again

(C) Gold, a diamond, a precious pearl
The love of innocent girl
Patiently waiting at home
All for the thrill of a one night stand
A treasure has slipped through my hands
What I leave behind i'll never find again

If I could do it over I’d finally do it right
I'd turn all of your dark days into bright and shiny nights
In the rear view mirror the lights of the city fade
What I leave behind I’ll never find again
