Trying To Stop Your Leaving
Got a guitar
Got a guitar on my back
And I m standin on this lonesome railroad track
Train s a comin
It ll be here fore too long
But I don t think I can stop it with a song
Girl that s the kind of way I m feelin
Tryin to stop your leavin
Got a pebble
Got a pebble in my hand
And I toss it out into the middle of the Rio Grande
But the river keeps runnin
Don t even know that I m around
I could throw a million more and not slow it down
Girl that s kind of what I m feelin
Tryin to stop your leavin
There s nothin that I wouldn t try
If I thought it would change your mind
But you don t love me
No you don t love me anymore
And I know as soon as you walk out that door
Train s a comin , river s runnin
Train s a comin , river s runnin
Pain s a comin , tears are runnin
Yeah that s kind of the way I m feelin
Knowin I couldn t stop your leavin
