Don't Leave a Trace

Burn your love letters
So your man won't see
He's hot on the trail
Since you gave your love to me
Don't leave a trace
Don't leave a trace
Memorize the parts
That matter to you most
Then keep it to yourself
'Till we make it to the coast
Don't leave a trace
Don't leave a trace

(chorus)
I've got just enough fuel
And a dream on your lips
For the Canadian border
Take all your trinkets
Tell no one where you've been
And no one where you're gone
Don't leave a trace

It's cash never credit
Don't you call your best friend
I've got to make sure
He won't do it again
To your lovely face
Don't leave a trace
He's got a lot of money
And a loose back hand
He'll hunt us down honey
Unless we lose this land
Don't leave a trace
Don't leave a trace

(chorus)

Must have been the pressure
When I raised my voice
Must have been the pressure
When she made that choice
We stopped for cigarettes
At a roadside store
She left them on the counter
And found the back door
Don't leave a trace

(chorus)
