Petrolia
I was just leaving, I was just up and walking
When someone said something
That was likely my name
But I didn't turn and I just kept on walking
Got to my car and I am presently driving
And darlin', I can't go back to Petrolia
With something I owe you
Something you already know
You know I'll regret it
Not living with you
And you'll have to sell that house and move to the city
She says no, no, no
There's this cop in London
He's got it in for me
I've known him since high school
He still thinks we're nineteen
I can't live nowhere
Where you could run into me
'Cause I think it's likely
That you'll make some big scene
And darlin' I can't go back to Petrolia
With something I owe you
I think you already know that
You know I'll regret it
Not living with you
And you'll have to sell that house and move to the city
She says no, no, no
Out of all the places I could run
Lonely's destination number one
And I'll deny it all a little more
Yeah I done it, but I don't know what I did it for
Stopped at this truck stop
Right outside Woodstock
I was gonna get something
But the whole thing was closed
And then I thought I might turn back
And then I thought I might call you
But I didn't do that
I just kept going
And darlin' I can't go back to Petrolia
With something I owe you
Something you already know
You know that I love you
I just cannot live with you
And you'll have to sell that house and get lost in the city
She says no, no, no
When someone said something
That was likely my name
But I didn't turn and I just kept on walking
Got to my car and I am presently driving
And darlin', I can't go back to Petrolia
With something I owe you
Something you already know
You know I'll regret it
Not living with you
And you'll have to sell that house and move to the city
She says no, no, no
There's this cop in London
He's got it in for me
I've known him since high school
He still thinks we're nineteen
I can't live nowhere
Where you could run into me
'Cause I think it's likely
That you'll make some big scene
And darlin' I can't go back to Petrolia
With something I owe you
I think you already know that
You know I'll regret it
Not living with you
And you'll have to sell that house and move to the city
She says no, no, no
Out of all the places I could run
Lonely's destination number one
And I'll deny it all a little more
Yeah I done it, but I don't know what I did it for
Stopped at this truck stop
Right outside Woodstock

But the whole thing was closed
And then I thought I might turn back
And then I thought I might call you
But I didn't do that

And darlin' I can't go back to Petrolia
With something I owe you
Something you already know
You know that I love you
I just cannot live with you
And you'll have to sell that house and get lost in the city
She says no, no, no
