Nothin' Left But Leavin'
Farewell Beneath Rain: Charley Pride's Tale of Love's Chill
Lyrics
Tonight it's so cold the rain is fallin' but it's still not as cold as your love for me
Tonight, the cold rain is falling, but it can't compare to the emotional coldness you have towards me.
That's why I'm walking down this highway and a diesel going my way
Walking down the highway, hoping a diesel truck going my way will take me far from you, granting you freedom.
Will take me far from you and you'll be free
Choosing distance as a solution to set both of us free from the troubled relationship.
There was nothin' left but leavin' for us in Tulsa
In Tulsa, our only option was to leave; the relationship had reached a point of no return.
But then again the same was throughout in LA
Similar challenges were faced in LA; difficulties seemed to follow us wherever we went.
Seems like trouble always finds us so I broke the tie that binds us
Trouble consistently found us, leading to the decision to break the emotional ties that bound us.
There was nothin' left but leavin' anyway
Leaving became the only viable option, despite the emotional difficulties.

We tried to find our dreams in New Mexico
In New Mexico, we attempted to find our dreams, but Santa Fe didn't provide the answers we sought.
But the answers just weren't there in Santa Fe
The blame could be placed on Texas, but the core issue was that we never had what we thought in the first place.
And we could blame it all on Texas but the problem now we fuss is
The problems persisted, leading to arguments and disagreements.
We never had what we thought anyway
The realization that our expectations were never fulfilled.
There was nothin' left but leavin' any longer
Leaving became inevitable, as there was nothing substantial left to hold onto.
And I finally found the strength to walk away
Finding the strength to finally walk away from the troubled relationship.
Tell the kids their daddy loves them they'll understand I'm thinkin' of them
Expressing love for the children and the understanding that leaving is for the best.
There was nothin' left but leavin' anyway there was nothin' left but leavin' anyway
Reiterating that leaving was the only option, emphasizing the lack of alternatives.
