DColorado, two days ago, Emtook my chances on some icy roads
EmHoping to warm my heart down in AlaDbam
DTrailway station, BirminghamEm, still no answer and it's three AM
EmGot an aching in my heart and a pay phone in my Dhand
[Chorus]
It won't be the Dfirst time I'll spend the night alone
It won't be the Emlast time I'll have to be strong
EmSometimes the best move is to Djust move on
I could be in Atlanta by the break of day, I don't want to leave but I know I shouldn't stay
I'm gonna watch the sunrise all by myself either way
[Chorus]
It won't be the Dfirst time I'll spend the night alone
It won't be the Emlast time I'll have to be strong
EmSometimes the best move is to Djust move on
[Bridge]
DCarolina, Spartanburg, Emstill no answer, not a word
[Chorus]
It won't be the Dfirst time I'll spend the night alone
It won't be the Emlast time I'll have to be strong
EmSometimes the best move is to Djust move on
