One of my favorite Rick Paul co-writes. Never commercially released, and available for your next record.

I stopped in for some cold beers
At the Why Not Bar today
Clete said hey man I’m real sorry
I hear your man’s movin’ away

Clete is your best friend
So I reckon it must be so
But it’s more than a little aggravating
To be the last damn one to know

Chorus:
So darlin’ if you’re thinking about leaving
Go ahead, leave me today
You’ve been staring at the door forever
And I won’t stand in your way

You’ve been clipping pictures
From the travel magazines
Are you planning our vacation
Or going somewhere without me

Chorus:
So darlin’ if you’re thinking about leaving
Go ahead, leave me today
You’ve been staring at the door forever
And I won’t stand in your way

Bridge:
I don’t know if it’s something I did
Or something you let me do
But what’s the difference anyway
If you and I are through

So darlin’ if you’re thinking about leaving
Go ahead, leave me today
You’ve been staring at the door forever
And I won’t stand in your way
