Lyrics

(verse 1)
I drove as far north as Cleveland
Tryin to get her off my mind
I thought if I left Alabama
I'd leave all thoughts of her behind

(pre chorus)
Its not that I have disdain
But could someone explain

(chorus)
If you're so smart
Tell me how to start
To run from your own heart
This trail of tears has gone on for years
My greatest fear
Where her memory is I'm here

(verse2)
I thought I'd move on to Tennessee
When it was apparent she no longer needed me
And I haven't seen her in so long
I'm still writing this song

(pre chorus)
Its not that I have disdain
But could someone explain

(chorus)
If you're so smart
Tell me how to start
To run from your own heart
This trail of tears has gone on for years
My greatest fear
Where her memory is I'm here

Always here

(chorus)
If you're so smart
Tell me how to start
To run from your own heart
This trail of tears has gone on for years
My greatest fear
Where her memory is I'm here
