I shoulda let you leave here years ago But I just couldn't let you go Although I knew that I would never change But a man needs a woman's love Like a sinner needs a Lord above It breaks my heart to see pain in your eyes I tried so hard, but we both know that I won't change I can't go back in time and fix my mind and try to rearrange Your happiness is everything, I know you need to go We tried so hard to make this work Baby, this is gonna hurt ♪ All the miles under this ol' hat The things I've done, I can't take back Mistakes I've made, and nights you've spent alone I can't choose between your heart And six strings here on this guitar This lost highway will always be my home I tried so hard, but we both know that I won't change I can't go back in time and fix my mind and try to rearrange Your happiness is everything, I know you need to go We tried so hard to make this work Baby, this is gonna hurt ♪ I can't change my selfish ways, I know you need to go We tried so hard to make this work Baby, this is gonna hurt We tried so hard to make this work Baby, this is gonna hurt
