Trying To Stop Your Leaving

Trying To Stop Your Leaving

Got a guitar

Got a guitar on my back

And I'm standin' on this lonesome railroad track

Train's a comin'

It'll be here 'fore too long

But I don't think I can stop it with a song

Girl that's the kind of way I'm feelin'

Tryin' to stop your leavin'

Got a pebble

Got a pebble in my hand

And I toss it out into the middle of the Rio Grande

But the river keeps runnin'

Don't even know that I'm around

I could throw a million more and not slow it down

Girl that's kind of what I'm feelin'

Tryin' to stop your leavin'

There's nothin' that I wouldn't try

If I thought it would change your mind

But you don't love me

No you don't love me anymore

And I know as soon as you walk out that door

Train's a comin' river's runnin'

Train's a comin' river's runnin'

Pain's a comin' tears are runnin'

Yeah that's kind of the way I'm feelin'

Knowin' I couldn't stop your leavin'
