"First To Hit The Road" lyrics

Why you acting so surprised I'm leaving?
We ain't been happy for some time
And don't pretend you don't know the reasons
I never made you read my mind

So go on blame me, honey
Turn this whole town on me
Act like you were last to know
And lie 'til you believe it
Say all I'm good for's leaving
Just 'cause I'm first to hit the road
But baby you left me
Yeah, you left me
A long time ago

All I wanted was for you to listen
To hold me when I was scared
And I tried but couldn't close the distance
Even when you were right there
Only time you ever paid attention
Was when tears rolled down my face
Packing up my suitcase, so

Yeah go on blame me, honey
Turn this whole town on me
Act like you were last to know
And lie 'til you believe it
Say all I'm good for's leaving
Just 'cause I'm first to hit the road
But baby you left me
Yeah, you left me
A long time ago

Just rolled in to Texarkana
I'll be in Dallas by tonight
Just called to say goodbye

Go on blame me, honey
Turn that whole town on me
Act like you were last to know
And lie 'til you believe it
Say all I'm good for's leaving
Just 'cause I'm first to hit the road
But baby you left me
Yeah, you left me
A long time ago
