If there was an easy way out, you bet I'd take it
If I didn't have to love you, then I just might make it
You chose a different path, and that's okay
But I'm still right where you left me, just rotting away
So take me away, take me away
And I'll leave with my sins, and give her the peace that I couldn't if I stayed
So take me away, take me away
Let me watch over her, and listen while she prays
Well I'd rather just hate you, but I can't
You put the nail in my coffin when you gave him a chance
Why do guys like me always seem to lose?
Lord, let me be the last cowboy to walk in these boots
So take me away, take me away
And I'll leave with my sins, and give her the peace that I couldn't if I stayed
So take me away, take me away
Let me watch over her, and listen while she prays
So take me away, take me away
And I'll leave with my sins, and give her the peace that I couldn't if I stayed
So take me away, take me away
Let me watch over her, and listen while she prays
