v.1
Please don't hate me mama for what I'm about to do
But the good times we had together are just about now through
Please don't misunderstand me I hate to see you cry
But I think that it might be better if I told you now goodbye

Chorus:
I'm back on the road again it's time I leave you now
An maybe I'll see you next time that I'm around
Until then I hope you're happy baby and good times come your way
I'm back on the road again, I'm on my way

v.2
Well I've loved you since the day I met you and I'll love you til the day I die
But we both know the life I'm livin' and we both know the reason why
That I've got to leave you mama, an' I've got to leave today
But you know that I'll see you next time, that I come to your town to play
