I ain't got a good reason for leaving just know that I've got to go
When I stick around these little towns I think about the girl I used to know
I hate to say that's all she is to me or that it's all I am to her
Just a wild page of her history, but that's how things will be when there the way they were
And I ain't trying to bring nobody down I'm just fine
I'm just riding out this Long And Lonesome High
It ain't so much the drinking and the pills as much as the drought
You learn to rely on those little things to lean on and then you gotta learn to walk without
You can't say I ain't committed to every second we were living but I'm out of time
You showed me all my dreams to dream on but singing songs for no one was not mine
And I ain't tryin' to bring nobody down I'm just fine
I'm just riding out this long, lonesome high
And I ain't tryin' to bring nobody down I'm just fine
I'm just riding out this long, lonesome high
I hate to say that's all she is to me or that that's all I am to her
