So long we've been married, life's burdens we carried
Though faith kept us humble and made our love true
But plans that we make up, someone seems to break up
Oh darlin', what else can we do?

We may have to leave here to find peace of mind, dear
Someplace where we can live a life of our own
I know you love me and happy we could be
If some folks would leave us alone

While I go out walkin', there's lots of loose talkin'
They say we're unhappy and we'll drift apart
But darlin', it's not true because I still love you
And I do with all of my heart

We may have to leave here to find peace of mind, dear
Someplace where we can live a life of our own
I know you love me and happy we could be
If some folks would leave us alone

They say you are leavin' that you are deceivin'
But you tell me they say the same about me
But we'll show them they're wrong
And loose talk will do harm and hope that the truth they will see

We may have to leave here to find peace of mind, dear
Someplace where we can live a life of our own
I know you love me and happy we could be
If some folks would leave us alone
