So long we've been married, life's burdens we've carried


Though faith kept us humble and made our love grow

The plans that we make up


Someone seems to break up but darlin' what else can we do




We may have to leave here to find peace of mind, dear


Some place where we can live a life all our own


For I know you love me and happy we could be

If some folks would leave us alone





They say you are leaving that you are deceiving

But you tell me they say the same about me


But we'll show them that they're wrong


That 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


Some place where we can live a life all our own

For I know you love me and happy we could be


If some folks would leave us alone




When I go out walkin' there's lots of loose talkin'


They say we're unhappy and we'll break apart


But, darling, it's not true because I still love you

And I do with all of my heart, yeah





We may have to leave here to find peace of mind, dear

Some place where we can live a life all our own


For I know you love me and happy we could be


If some folks would leave us alone
