I know that it'll make you cry
To find that I have gone, didn't even say goodbye
You'll hate me for awhile because I promised love
And left you just grievin'
I know that I could never be
the kind of man that you have in your mind of me
For your sake we must part
It'll break your heart
But you're young and you'll forget
You're young and I know time will help you find the perfect man to really love you
And not a man like me who's like the wind and must be free
but a man who's worthy of you
For I could never settle down
To just one way of life, one woman and one town
So sad to part this way
But you'll be glad someday
For you're young and you'll forget
