Merle Haggard — Leavin’s Not the Only Way to Go

[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 [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 [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 [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
