It’s Hard to Leave

You don’t know what someone’s like until you go

You don’t know what someone’s capable of

Till their desperate, high and dry

It’s easy to get sleazy when your back’s against the wall

But now I think it’s time for me to fall

 

The sun is setting fast on my Blue Ridge home

Nightfall in the Land of Sky is dark indeed, don’t you know

As long as I have stayed up, I have still to see sunrise

And now I think it’s time for me to shine

 

But it’s hard to leave when the drinks are free

It’s hard to laugh with you all when the jokes on me

I thought I had the sense God gave the come in from the cold

Now I think it’s time for me to go

 

But it’s hard to leave when the drinks are free

It’s hard to laugh with you all when the jokes on me

I thought I had the sense God gave the common buffalo

Now I think it’s time for me to go
