[Intro]           [Verse 1] Been a man that’s been around I been around a long time I’ve seen a lot of people go I’ve seen a lot of your kind So if you want to run around you’d better let go ’Cause I know what I’m doin’ now I’m leavin’ alone.    [Verse 2] Once I had a southern girl in mind for my wife At a time of innocence at a time in my life But know that what I’m sayin’ now was a long time ago I lost touch with my southern girl I’m leavin’ alone. [Chorus] Starting here you’re gonna be second to none Don’t see why I got to be leavin’ alone.    [Solo]                    [Verse 3] Caroline she came to me right out of the blue I was sittin’ in a coffee house coming down from the show She told me how I had a charm she said all of my own Caroline get away from here I’m leavin’ alone. [Chorus] Starting here you’re gonna be second to none Don’t see why I got to be leavin’ alone.
