Diesel smoke climbin' the clear blue sky I sit here wonderin' wanderin' why

I leave her everytime I love her
Green grass growin' by picket fence Lord I just don't make no sense
But I leave her everytime I love her
I guess it's just to my blood to roam I ain't never had no permanent home
For I leave her everytime I love her
I guess it's just knowin' that she'll be there
With her dark brown eyes and her yellow hair
I love her Lord knows I love her
Though my mind's dis-satisfied just a hoppin' that big ole Mack and ride
And leave her everytime I love her
I guess it's just to my blood to roam I ain't never had no permanent home
So I leave her everytime I love her

One of these days I wanna go back
To that yelllow haired girl and the tumble down shack
And never leave her all I do is love her
Well I guess to that I'll be content
Just to drivin' this track and sendin' home the rest
And leave her everytime I love her
I guess it's just to my blood to roam I ain't never had no permanent home
So I leave her everytime I love her
You guess that I really love her
