The leaves are gone, neighborhood too,
The weeds in the ground can't even think to move,
But they're gonna try,
Try to get over you.
No whiskey in your still house, you don't even have the rye,
There's nothing in the barnyard, it's just cold and dry.
You know the reason you just have to try.
So get back Liza, get back Jane,
I done kicked you outta town 'cause you're driving me insane,
But I'm gonna try,
Try to get over you.
The price of admission only gets you half a ride,
And there's no part of the law that is on your side.
Don't want no one to cheat you,
You just haven't tried.
And there's nothing in the free world you ever fail to win,
But this time my friend, it seems you're losing steam.
And I always did my best to be everything you need,
But with you there's room to disagree.
So get back Liza, get back Jane,
I done kicked you outta town 'cause you're driving me insane,
But I'm gonna try,
Try to get over you.
No whiskey in your still house, you don't even have the rye,
There's nothing in the barnyard, it's just cold and dry.
You know the reason you just have to try.
