Quittin’ Time by Mary Chapin Carpenter.

Sometimes songs just fall into your lap. Maybe you heard it before but never connected with it until that exact moment when every lyric pulled on your heart strings. Today’s song is about a relationship that doesn’t have much of a future due to circumstances beyond the couple’s control. The hardest part is admitting that maybe it’s best to say goodbye. It’s so hard admittin’ when it’s quittin’ time…

Quittin’ Time was released as a single in March of 1990 from Carpenter’s second album, State of the Heart. It went to #7 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks. It also went to #8 on Canada’s RPM Country Tracks.

Above is the audio. There might be a brief ad before the song plays which you can skip after five seconds.
