Bill Anderson - Practice Leaving Town

Me and you are like oil and water
We don't get along like we oughta
But neither one of us wants to be the first to leave
You've gone home to your mother
I've spent a few nights with my brother
We're hangin' by a thread
Tryin' not to split the sheets

Tonight I'm gonna fire up
My old gettin' outa Dodge pickup
Drive about 50 miles before I turn around
It's time to stop pretending
That whatever we've had's not ending
It's about time to practice leaving town

I'm gonna buy me a Coke and a Big Mac
Save enough money for a six-pack
Find me some country music on the radio
Drive to a cheap little motel
Check in a room by myself
And get used to watching TV and drinking alone

Tonight I'm gonna fire up
My old gettin' outa Dodge pickup
Drive about 50 miles before I turn around
It's time to stop pretending
That whatever we've had's not ending
It's about time to practice leaving town

Tonight I'm gonna fire up
My old gettin' outa Dodge pickup
Drive about 50 miles before I turn around
It's time to stop pretending
That whatever we've had's not ending
It's about time to practice leaving town

I'm gonna go out tonight and practice leaving town
