Dustin Perkins - Leavin' Dallas (Live from Say When Brewery 2023) Lyrics

I said I woke up this morning to an empty bed
The spot beside me where you used to lay is empty as my head
And I found you in the closet with a suitcase full of clothes
Said you'd had enough of my nightlife, gonna head yourself back home
What can I say to you when you've already made up your mind
Has the six months that we spent together been nothing but wasted time
My love won't bring her back
My pride won't beg her to stay
Now she's packing all her things
Leaving Dallas today
In a cloud of smoke I cannot tell her what she means to me
But if I could have her back then I'd give anything
So I poured myself some coffee, I called up your mom
To see if she had the answer to what the hell went wrong
But she's as clueless as me on the other end of that line
She said, boy, let me tell you something You gotta hold your head up high
My love won't bring her back
My pride won't beg her to stay
Now she's packing all her things
Leaving Dallas today
In a cloud of smoke I cannot tell her what she means to me
But if I could have her back then I'd give anything
So I wait by the telephone, I hope that it will ring
Hoping you have some second thoughts
Or a dream of you and me
Baby, you got my number don't you be afraid to call
Said you caught me with my guard down you got my back against the wall
My love won't bring her back
My pride won't beg her to stay
Now she's packing all her things
Leaving Dallas today
In a cloud of smoke I cannot tell her what she means to me
But if I could have her back
Oh, if I could have her back
Oh, if I could have her back
And I'd give anything
Anything
I'd give anything
