I'm Leaving Your World a Better Place To Live

Tommy Cash

Compositor: Arthur Leo Owens

Oh I'm packin' all the loneliness I'm not leavin' any sad regrets
I'll wash my mem'ries from hallways of your mind
And the way you should remember me is like a page in history
Cause I'm leaving your world a better place to live

Walk through the roses in the garden before the morning sun is shining
Where you gave me every reason I had to live
That ain't dew on the petal it's the tears I lost while leaving
While leaving your world a better place to love

If you see a shodow along the highway that's just me a going my way
Cause I'm too proud to show my face in the sun
And when evening coming on like a shadow I'll soon be gone
Cause I'm leaving your world a better place to live

Walk through the roses in the garden...
