Work in Progress. ***Updated with great vocals by julibee***. A western waltz, this song segues directly to 'This Train is Moving'. This song describes how men really feel about a failed relationship and its aftermath.

This is a collaborative effort designed to sell my songs (writing) and get exposure for musicians.
It's mainly me and the wonderful artists who have graciously contributed to RealTracks (www.pgmusic.com). Band in a Box and RealBand have been indispensible for me. My best friend has been a collaborator (scoring) in the past and I hope to begin working with him again soon. I am open to other collaborations as well-- hence the "band" name. Think of it as an "Alan Parsons Project" for more country, roots rock and blues oriented stuff.

Story behind the song
It's kind of funny-- to entertain my youngest son I made up a silly song about my wife's dog being messy. I realized I liked the simple cowboy tune and wanted to write a song around it. I had been watching Divorce Court and remember scoffing at the bravado shown by some of the young men ending their relationships. This is my response. Thanks to Julianna MacDuffie for her wonderful singing, and helping fix the arrangement! Note: this is meant to be immediately followed by "This Train is Moving".
Lyrics
Leaving ain't easy Don't care what they tell you Parts of your heart start to fail Right food goes forward The grave's got the left And your mind's somewhere miles down the trail O'er the lake on a limb Where it's now think or swim Praying the branch doesn't break Leaving ain't easy Don't care what they sell you Never touch more than you'll take Never touch more than you'll take
