[Intro]
G C
[Verse 1]
There'll be an Gempty seat next to momma during Sunday's Amazing Grace
COne less cowbell ringing cheering the Rebels on to state
One cold Gbarstool at the Bayview, one less tip for Miss Lila Saint
Cause this Emsmall town without you Djust don't feel the Csame
It don't feel the Csame
[Chorus]
So I'm Cleaving Louisiana, headed straight for Tennessee
Gonna Gtry to start things over, put some miles between you and me
Cuz CHeaven knows I've tried it all, and there's Emnothing Dleft to Cdo
So maybe Cleaving LouisianDa will get me over youG  
[Verse 2]
There'll be Gone more Broadway singer, and one more one night stand
There'll be Cone more lonesome cowboy writing songs you'll never hear
One more Gwaiter flipping tables just so he can pay his rent
But there's no Emway it'll be as Dhard as staying Chere
[Chorus]
So I'm Cleaving Louisiana, headed straight for Tennessee
Gonna Gtry to start things over, put some miles between you and me
Cuz CHeaven knows I've tried it all, and there's Emnothing Dleft to Cdo
So maybe Cleaving LouisianDa will get me over Cyou
[Bridge]
CA little more every day 'cause I can't take this town without Gyou
GI'm loaded down, I'm headed out
GI'll put it all in the rear Emview
I Dhope you stay there CtooD  
[Chorus]
So I'm Cleaving Louisiana, headed straight for Tennessee
Gonna Gtry to start things over, put some miles between you and me
Cuz CHeaven knows I've tried it all, and there's Emnothing Dleft to Cdo
So maybe Cleaving LouisianDa will get me over youG
