[Verse 1]
You ever wake up, just 'bout the break of day
You ever wake up, just 'bout the break of day
With your arms around the pillow where Mr. So-and-So used to lay

[Verse 2]
I'm goin' away, baby, won't be back until fall
I'm goin' away, baby, won't be back until fall
If I don't win no money, I won't be back at all

[Verse 3]
I heard you crackin' early this morn
I heard you crackin' early this morn
If you don't think I'm leavin', count the days that I'll be gone
[Verse 4]
If the river was liquor and I was a duck
Mmm, and I was a duck
I would go to the bottom and I would never come up

[Verse 5]
I'm leavin' this town, got on my last pair of shoes
I'm leavin' this town, got on my last pair of shoes
Walkin' away from here with those down the country blues
