Trying To Stop Your Leaving

Got a guitar

Got a guitar on my back

And I m standin on this lonesome railroad track

Train s a comin

It ll be here fore too long

But I don t think I can stop it with a song

Girl that s the kind of way I m feelin

Tryin to stop your leavin

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 runnin

Don t even know that I m around

I could throw a million more and not slow it down

Girl that s kind of what I m feelin

Tryin to stop your leavin

There s nothin that 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 comin , river s runnin

Train s a comin , river s runnin

Pain s a comin , tears are runnin

Yeah that s kind of the way I m feelin

Knowin I couldn t stop your leavin
