A song about leaving home to make music and the girl that didn't come along for the ride

lyrics

Well, it’s been years since I’ve seen you - And a lot of miles in between
I left home with my guitar and some songs - And you stayed back in Abilene

My Mom said you finally left that guy - The one who never did treat you right
You took your cat and your records and some clothes - And just drove off one night

This is not about me being lonely, And I’m not saying that you need to find a man
This is not about rewriting the past, Or going back to where we began
But it’s about me
And it’s about you
It’s about time

I’ll be home in the morning – and you will hear me knocking on your door
My hair is longer, and the years have been hard – I can’t be without you anymore

It broke my heart you didn’t leave with me – I guess I was angry for awhile
The years go by and it all turns to dust – but I never could forget your smile
