Heard it in a Love Song - Marshall Tucker Band - 1977
Lyrics

I ain't never been with a woman long enough, for my boots to get old.
We've been together so long now, they both need resoled.
If I ever settle down, you'd be my kind
And it's a good time for me to head on down the line.

(Chorus)

Heard it in a love song
Heard it in a love song
Heard it in a love song
Can't be wrong.

I'm the kinda man, likes to get away,
like to start dreamin' about tomorrow today.
Never said that I love you, even thought it's so
Where's that duffle bag of mine, it's time to go.

(Repeat chorus)

(flute solo)

I'm gonna be leavin' at the break of dawn.
Wish you could come, but I don't need no woman taggin' along.
So I'll sneak out that door, couldn't stand to see you cry.
I'd stay another year if I saw a tear drop in your eye.

(Repeat chorus)

I never had a damn thing but what I had I had to leave it behind.
You're the hardest thing I ever tried to get off my mind.
Always something greener, on the other side of that hill.
I was born a wrangler and a rambler, and I guess I always will

(Repeat chorus)

More Trivia

This is the Marshall Tucker Band's biggest hit on the Pop charts, and remains their best-remembered song. In spite of its up tempo, it's rather sad. Written by Toy Caldwell, the song is about a man who has lived on the road from town to town and affair to affair. Here, he's been with a woman who's been good to him and who he actually loves, but he can't stay with her because the call of the road is too strong.
