The One You Left Behind Songtext
von Davisson Brothers Band

Well I couldn′t speak when I kissed your cheek
So the tears just said goodbye
But still I knew what I had to do was spread my wings and fly
So I loaded up my pickup truck
And threw it into drive

I had a friend in Louisiana on an oil rig in the gulf
He said the night life in New Orleans would really light me up
And for awhile girl it was true
So why do I still dream of you

Sometimes you've got to leave to learn
How good life was back where you were
And the greener pasture you set out to find
Is The One You Left Behind


I spend my days on a fishing boat and my nights on Bourbon Street
The taste I got of this brand new life at best is bittersweet
Behind the mask of Mardi Gras
I hid so well that no one saw

A country boy that misses the man that he use to be
And holding hands on sunset walks to the Dairy Queen
And the kind of work I use to do
And breathing in the air with you

Sometimes you′ve got to leave to learn
How good life was back where you were
And the greener pasture you set out to find
Is The One You Left Behind

I kissed your lips I pulled you close
And tear sick girl I missed you so missed you so

Sometimes you've got to leave to learn
How good life was back where you were
And the greener pasture you set out to find
Is The One You Left Behind


Is The One You Left Behind
Is The One You Left Behind
The One You Left Behind
