Goodbye meridianYour damned old oil fields and your cotton ginsI ain’t coming back againI’ve had enough of all your lost honky tonksAnd rough neck sinThis leaving road is a straight shot to mexicoThat’s where i think i’ll goCause just last night she told me noShe don’t love me no moreSo like a lonesome windI’m leaving meridianGoodbye meridianYour dime store profits and your livestock pensI sure won’t be missing when your locomotive whistles blowAnd wake up the whole damn town at 5 amThis leaving road is a straight shot to mexicoThat’s where i think i’ll goCause just last night she told me noShe don’t love me no moreSo like a lonesome windI’m leaving meridianShe had those clear blue eyes and that falling down hairAnd it sure does get mighty lonesome out thereThere ain’t one good reasonWhy i should stick around this old heartbroke townWhen you just can’t winSo i’m leaving meridianI ain’t coming back againI’m leaving meridian
