Try Leaving

drumkit and tenor vocal - gerald dowd
bass guitar - john abbey
electric guitar - grant tye
acoustic guitar and vocal - robbie fulks
fiddle - anne harris

One of those lay-it-on-the-line country tunes that's so uncomplicated it seems silly to try saying more. It seems harmless enough to fantasize about a world in which women are like disposable robots.

Lyrics

Believe me, I feel for you, darling
And how heartsick and tired you must be
You think living with me is a hard thing for you
Well, it’s 24/7 for me

It’s all baseball and beer and bad humor
And I’ve tried but I cannot break free
Though you’ve done your damnedest to help me
You tried to badmouth my friends
Tried to wreck all my fun
Now there’s only one thing
That you haven’t done

CHORUS:
Try leaving
Try not to come back this evening
Try to stay gone
Try running
Someplace no one can find
If there’s a light there, don’t leave it on
So my rough charm don’t blind you no more
Well you can still find your way to the door
Try leaving

I never said I was nothing but common
I never told you my tastes were refined
I like to eat till I’m stuffed, drink till I’m drunk
And say what the hell’s on my mind

It’s the plain truth we’re wrong for each other
Just look at this hole that we’re in
And it’s deeper the harder you shovel
You can dig in your heels
Stand tough and hold fast
But when everything fails
As it surely has

CHORUS
