So long we've been married life's burdens we've carried Though fate kept us humble and made our love true But plans that we made up someone seems to break up Oh darling what else can we do We may have to leave here to find piece of mind dear Some place where we can live a life of our own For I know you love me and happy we could be if some folks would leave us alone [ steel ] When I go out walking there's lots of loose talking They say we're unhappy and we'll break apart But darling it's not true because I still love you and I do with all of my heart We may have to leave here... [ guitar ] They say you are leaving that you are deceiving But you tell me they say the same about me But we'll show them they're wrong that loose talk can do harm And hope that the truth they will see We may have to leave here...
