Trying to Stop Your Leaving (Research Hook) Songtext
von Dierks Bentley

Got a guitar
Got a guitar on my back
And I′m standing on this lonesome railroad track
Train's a-coming
It′ll be here 'fore too long
But I don't think I can stop it with a song

Girl, that′s kind of the way I′m feelin'
Trying to stop your leaving


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 running
Don′t even know that I'm around
I could throw in a million more and not slow it down

Girl, that′s kind of the way I'm feeling
Trying to stop your leaving

There′s nothing 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-coming
River's running
Train′s a-coming, river's running
Pain′s a-coming, tears are running

And that's kind of the way I′m feeling
Knowing I couldn't stop your leaving
