"Maybe I Should've Been Listening" lyrics

Willie Nelson Lyrics

"Maybe I Should've Been Listening"
(originally by Jody Miller)

Here you are, back on my mind, where you stay quite a lot
Bringing back all the old memories I thought I'd forgot
I just keep finding you with me and I don't know why
Maybe I should've been listening when you said goodbye

I can't believe how you keep hanging on to my mind
Now I know leaving means one goes and one stays behind
I can't escape from you no matter how hard I try
Maybe I should've been listening when you said goodbye

Maybe I should've been watching when you walked away
Maybe you wouldn't keep turning up day after day
If I'd payed attention, I'd known that you didn't lie
Maybe I should've been listening when you said goodbye
Maybe I should have been listening when you said goodbye
