She said if she didn't get a record deal
She was leaving in the spring
She came up here with ambition
She wanted to sing
These record labels in town
They won't give her a chance
They tell her the business is down
Same old song and dance
Hard One To Lose
If she gets on that plane back to Texas
Bad news
She's a Hard One To Lose
Where would I go after her?
What would I do?
She started out singing my songs
She reads my mind
I fell in love with her
One verse at a time
I told her how I feel
I asked her not to go away
I'll do anything it takes
To make her stay
Hard One To Lose
If she says goodbye to Nashville
Blues blues
She's a Hard One To Lose
Where would I go after her?
What would I do?
I'm not gonna let her go
I'm not gonna let it happen
Hard One To Lose
If she gets on that plane back to Texas
Bad news
She's a Hard One To Lose
Where would I go after her?
What would I do?
