It'll be twelve months to the day in an hour since you left me
Eleven months three weeks since I left town
First stop was tendin' bar down in Baton Rouge
Thinkin' I could get away from you
But you were on my mind every time I turned around
So then I went to Austin, Texas then to Phoenix then I flew outta LAX
Lord I can't believe it's been a year
I keep leavin' but you're still here
Touched down in Seattle waited tables in a coffee shop
I tried my hand down in Reno dealin' cards
Took a bus to try my luck on the East Coast
Spent a week with my blues in Chicago
But everywhere I went you were in my heart
I almost thought I lost you in D.C. but in Boston
Your memory caught up with me
For every mile I've cried a million tears
I keep leavin' but you're still here
So if you're wonderin' why I'm standing on your doorstep
It's cause you never left I'm here to ask you for another chance
'Cause baby I just can't forget
The way you used to hold me and show me
You loved me like you'd never ever let go of me
For me that feelin' never disappeared
I keep leavin' but you're still here
I can't keep leavin' 'cause you're still here
