[Verse 1]
G               C                D7
Tonight it's so cold the rain is fallin'
         G            C            D7
But it's still not as cold as your love for me
               G
That's why I'm walkin' down this highway
      C
And a diesel goin' my way
          G           D                 G
Will take me far from you and you'll be free

[Chorus]
          C                                  G
There was nothin' left but leavin' for us in Tulsa
         D                              G
But then again the same was true out in A 
           C
Seems like troubles always find us
     G                  C
So I broke the tie that binds us
          G       C        G       D  G
There was nothin' left but leavin' anyway

[Verse 2]
G                    C             D7
We tried to find our dreams in New Mexico
        G                    C              D7
But the answers just weren't there in Santa Fe
             G
And we could blame it all on Texas
        C
But the problem now with us is
         G           D          G
We never had what we thought anyway

[Chorus]
          C                            G
There was nothin' left but leavin' any longer
      D                                  G
And I finally found the strength to walk away
         C
Tell the kids their daddy loves them
             G                  C
They'll understand I'm thinkin' of them
          G       C        G       D  G
There was nothin' left but leavin' anyway
