Take a Minute Smokie

You came in just as I was leaving with my denim bag
Everything else I own is sitting in a taxi cab
And my hope like the rain kept falling, the sun is gone I guess
There's no dinner in the oven, no forwarding address

Don't ask me why I'm running
You should have seen this coming

Take a minute just to think about it baby
Take a minute just to work it out
I feel like a stranger in your town every evening it's another showdown
It's a circus but I ain't your clown Im tired of fighting now I'm riding out

Here's my key and the ring you gave me you can have them back
I was counting the nights I've been lonely but I lost track
I've spent all this time not knowing
And you wonder why I'm going

Take a minute just to think about it baby
Take a minute just to work it out
I feel like a stranger in your town every evening it's another showdown
It's a circus but I ain't your clown Im tired of fighting now I'm riding out
