down to Nashville,
you were at the station there
You told me you were a miner,
dusty lands and a lot of sins
It's been 40 years since
you left home,
Minnesota with the cash to win
But time to lie, time to wanna die
and just be a fly in the sea
But I couldn't take
the love of me
Couldn't take the love of me
Couldn't take the love of me
Couldn't take it, no
Couldn't be free
Along the roads you had traveled for,
four years alone,
guided only by the stars
But then all changed and
blacked right out,
you fell off your horse
and he ran into the night
You said you met a man, just like now
Then you were young,
he was old as hell
You ended up with a girl by your side
He called her Dean
Then you said to me
I couldn't take the love of me
I couldn't take the love of me
I couldn't take the love of me
I couldn't take it, I couldn't be free
I couldn't take the love of me
I couldn't take the love of me
I couldn't take the love of me
I couldn't take it, I couldn't be free
I couldn't take the love of me
I couldn't take the love of me
I couldn't take the love of me
I couldn't take it, I couldn't be free
I couldn't take the love of me
Couldn't take the love of me
Couldn't take the love of me
Couldn't take, I couldn't be free
I couldn't take the love off of me
Could n't take the
love off of me
Couldn't take the love off of me
Couldn't take, I couldn't be free
I couldn't take the love off of me
Couldn't take the love off of me
Contain the love of memories
Contain the love of memories
You
