It'll be twelve months to the day in an hour since you left me

Eleven months three weeks since I left town

First stop was tendin' bar down in Baton Rouge

Thinkin' I could get away from you

But you were on my mind every time I turned around

So then I went to Austin, Texas then to Phoenix then I flew outta LAX

Lord I can't believe it's been a year

I keep leavin' but you're still here



Touched down in Seattle waited tables in a coffee shop

I tried my hand down in Reno dealin' cards

Took a bus to try my luck on the East Coast

Spent a week with my blues in Chicago

But everywhere I went you were in my heart

I almost thought I lost you in D.C. but in Boston

Your memory caught up with me

For every mile I've cried a million tears

I keep leavin' but you're still here



So if you're wonderin' why I'm standing on your doorstep

It's cause you never left I'm here to ask you for another chance

'Cause baby I just can't forget



The way you used to hold me and show me

You loved me like you'd never ever let go of me

For me that feelin' never disappeared

I keep leavin' but you're still here

I can't keep leavin' 'cause you're still here
