There was nothing I could do, yeah, man, she was leavin'

Had her mama on the phone, in her mind she was already gone

I said, "I could love you better, I could be whatever you want me to"

Said, "Baby, tell me why, maybe I could help if I knew"

And she said

"No reason to stay's a good reason to go

No reason to try when one of us won't

Ain't just gonna hang around

And get nowhere with you in this little town

Yeah, they say it goes both ways, baby

When you know you know no reason to stay's a good reason to go"

Yeah, I tried to move on but it's hard when you're lookin' back

And I tried to get through but it's hard when you left like that

I could blame it on the drinks, blame it on love over time

Oh, but I can't get away, all I hear you sayin' in my mind

Is "No reason to stay's a good reason to go

No reason to try when one of us won't

Ain't just gonna hang around

And get nowhere with you in this little town

Yeah, they say it goes both ways, baby

When you know you know no reason to stay's a good reason to go"

A good reason to go

"No reason to stay's a good reason to go

No reason to try when one of us won't

Ain't just gonna hang around

And get nowhere with you in this little town

Yeah, they say it goes both ways, baby

When you know you know no reason to stay's a good reason to go"

A good reason to go

Mm, yeah

No reason to stay's a good reason to go
