Merle Haggard - Leavin's Not the Only Way to Go Lyrics

Do the mornin's still come early
Are the nights not long enough?
Does a tear of hesitation fall on everything you touch?
Well, it all might be a lesson
For the hasty heart to know
Maybe leavin's not the only way to go

Maybe lyin' at your feelin's
Grow accustomed to the dark
By mornin's light, it just might solve the problems of the heart
And it all might be a lesson
For the hasty heart to know
Maybe leavin's not the only way to go

People reach new understandings all the time
Take a second look, maybe change their minds
People reach new understandings every day
Tell me not to reach, babe, and I'll go away

But do the mornin's still come early
Are the nights not long enough?
Does a tear of hesitation fall on everything you touch?
Well, it all might be a lesson
For the hasty heart to know
Maybe leavin's not the only way to go

People reach new understandings all the time
Take a second look, maybe change their minds
People reach new understandings every day
Tell me not to reach, babe, and I'll go away

But do the mornin's still come early
Are the nights not long enough?
Does a tear of hesitation fall on everything you touch?
Well, it all might be a lesson
For the hasty heart to know
Maybe leavin's not the only way to go
