Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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?
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
When 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
They say you are leavin'
That you are deceivin'
But you tell me they say the same about me
Oh, but we'll show them they're wrong
That loose talk can do harm
And hope that the truth, they will see
[Chorus]
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
If some folks would leave us alone
