I woke up this morning and I put my shoes on
Walked out my back door I gotta keep moving on
I'm leaving my baby
I said I'm leaving my baby
I said I'm leaving my baby cause she never ever understood
I packed up my things in an old gunny sack
I strapped my guitar right across my back
I'm leaving my baby
I said I'm leaving my baby
I said I'm leaving my baby cause she never ever treats me good
I walk down the road and I hold my thumb out
I'm booked, I gotta go, I gotta message to shout
I'm leaving my baby
I said I'm leaving my baby
I said I'm leaving my baby cause she never ever understood
If your woman she don't love and she don't care for you
Just take my advice here's what you got to do
Say I'm leaving you baby
Just say I'm leaving you baby
Just say I'm leaving you baby cause you never ever treats me good
