Analysis of Leaving on Tuesday
Shelbi Nicole Bennett 1990 (Lynchburg, VA)
I'm sorry baby
The drinks won't change the facts
I'm leaving here on Tuesday
And I ain't coming back
I tried so hard for so long
And you won't try to meet me
Even close to half of what's the middle
I just can't keep playing the whole band
When you can't keep hold of the fiddle
