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 Phoenix, then I flew outta L A X   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 lcause 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
