It'll be twelve months to the day And 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 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 me hand down in Reno dealin' cards I took a bus to try my luck on the East Coast Spent some time week with my blues in Chicago But eveywhere 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 just can't froget 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
