I Let A Damn Good Woman Leave

Stole a pack of gum from Edward’s grocery
Broke my mama’s heart droppin' outa school
I wreck my daddy’s truck down at the mail branch
This day he still don’t know the truth
Give more than a time or two I’ve had one too many
I blown a last chance more times than a few
If they trail the bad decisions clear from here to Tennessee
The worst I ever did
It’s I let a damn good woman leave
Spent a few nights at the Calhoun County Jailhouse
Spent a couple nights with a girl who wasn’t mine
One long night cost me a job at Goodyear
I guess these old broke-in boots can’t walk a line
Give more than a time or two I’ve had one too many
I blown a last chance more times than a few
If they trail the bad decisions clear from here to Tennessee
The worst I ever did
It’s I let a damn good woman leave
I let a damn good woman leave
I guess you’ll never learn if you never live
There’s still one thing I’ve done I can’t forgive
Give more than a time or two I’ve had one too many
I blown a last chance more times than a few
If they trail the bad decisions clear from here to Tennessee
The worst I ever did
It’s I let a damn good woman leave
I let a damn good woman leave
I let a damn good woman leave
