Texty: Carlene Carter. Loose Talk (Carlene Carter with Carl Smith).

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 the life on our own
I know you love me and happy we could be
If some folks would leave us alone

While I go out walkin', there's lots 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 of my heart

We may have to leave here to find peace of mind dear
Some place where we can live the life on our own
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 deceivin'
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 the life on our own
For I know you love me and happy we could be
If some folks would leave us alone, if some folks will leave us alone
