                                         When I quit my job and headed for the west coast

                                         I thought for sure that was the place to be

                                         And it took too long before I heard

                                         These mountains calling me

                                         Too long to come back home to Tennessee   

                                                              

                                         I know I left you with a thousand tears

                                         Don’t make me bring back those years

                                         Of the hurt and the pain that I left behind

                                         To those nights alone in the cheap motel rooms

                                         Listening to the trucks roll by

                                         Searching for a reason just to stay alive

                                          

(Chorus)                             Susan don’t you ask me where I’ve been to

                                         Or where in the world I was headed for

                                         Only know that it’s home that I have come to

                                         And let me leave my troubles at your door

                                        

                                         Any man who is worth his weight                                         Admits his own mistakes

                                         And I won’t deny the thinks that I have done

                                         That rambling life, and restless youth

                                         Have seen their setting sun

                                         This mountain man’s is no longer on the run

(Chorus)

(instrumental Bridge)    

                                         So I won’t call it home to open highways

                                         I won’t hear the wind call out my name

                                         It was only the angel’s voices leading me to you

                                         Now only the lord will take me away

 

(Chorus) 2 times                  Let Me Leave My Troubles At Your Door

                                        Let Me Leave My Troubles At Your Door
