Leavin’s Not the Only Way to Go Merle Haggard

[Verse 1]
Do the mornings still come early? Are the nights not long enough?
Does a tear of hesitation fall on everything you touch?
Well, it all might be a lesson for the hasty heart to know
Maybe leaving's not the only way to go

[Verse 2]
Maybe lying at your feelings, grow accustomed to the dark
By morning's light, it just might solve the problems of the heart
And it all might be a lesson for the hasty heart to know
Maybe leaving's not the only way to go

[Chorus]
People reach new understandings all the time
Take a second look, maybe change their minds
People reach new understandings every day
Tell me not to reach, babe, and I'll go away

People reach new understandings all the time
Take a second look, maybe change their minds
People reach new understandings every day
Tell me not to reach, babe, and I'll go away
