So long we've been married Life's burdens we've carried Though faith kept us humble And made our love grow The plans that we make up Someone seems to break up But darlin' what else can we do [Chorus:] We may have to leave here To find peace of mind, dear Some place where we can live A life all our own For I know you love me And happy we could be If some folks would leave us alone They say you are leaving That you are deceiving But you tell me they say The same about me But we'll show them that they're wrong That loose talk will do harm And hope that the truth they will see [Chorus] When I go out walkin' There's lots of loose talkin' They say we're unhappy And we'll break apart But, darling, it's not true Because I still love you And I do with all of my heart Yeah! [Chorus]
