"Go It Alone"

I'm goin' away; leavin' today
Ever since you threw my love away
I've been blue; thinkin' 'bout you
Well, if I'm gonna have to go it alone
I might as well be on the road

Don't say you'll miss me when I go
I've been around, babe, and I know that it ain't so
I tried my best, babe, to keep you near
I tried to hard, babe, this much is clear
We'll, if I'm gonna have to go it alone
I might as well be on the road

Well, you're not bothered; you're doin' fine
But, there's a cross tie for every tear I'm cryin'
I'm goin' hungry; I'm losin' sleep
I didn't know, babe, I was in so deep
-If I'm gonna have to go it alone
I might as well be on the road

I picked you flowers, & wrote you poems
But once again, babe, I'm leavin' home
You gave no reasons; just left me flat
But some day, babe, you're gonna want me back
& that's a fact
But, if I'm gonna have to go it alone
I might as well be on the road
