Carter Carlene - Loose Talk (Carlene Carter with Carl Smith) Lyrics

Written by JT Melton,

Written as a letter to his first wife, Carol.







So long we've been married

Life's burdens we carried

Though they kept us humble and made our love true

The plans that we make up

Someone seems to break up

Oh darlin' what else can we do



We may have to leave here

To find peace of mind dear

Some place where we can live a life all our own

For I know you love me and happy we could be

If some folks would leave us alone



While I go out walkin'

There's of loose talkin'

They say we're unhappy and we'll break apart

But darlin' it's not true

Because I still love you

And I do with all my heart



We may have to leave here

To find peace of mind dear

Some place where we can live a life all our own

For I know you love me and happy we could be

If some folks would leave us alone



They say that you're leavin'

That you are deceiving

But you tell me they say the same about me

But we'll show them they're wrong

That loose talk will do harm

And hope that the truth they will see



We may have to leave here

To find peace of mind dear

Some place where we can live a life all our own

For I know you love me and happy we could be

If some folks would leave us alone
