I've Got to Go Now
This man I married is buried deep
And the more I try to wake him, the more he sleeps
I used to think I knew this man
The tenderness, not the back of his hand
It's been two weeks since he last had a drink
But the time bomb's ticking, I can never sleep
It would be easier if he did
Why do I stay here, stay with him?
Why do you do it?
Why do you treat us bad?
When you've got two kids who love you
And a wife that's missing you bad
I've got to go now
I've got to say goodbye
Don't try to stop us now
And please, don't you cry
Can't you see? We've all been through it
It's all been said before
With all these tears, for how many years
Can I keep coming back for more? No more
Must be addicted to all this pain
'Cause I keep coming back for the shame
Dear God, give me the strength to leave
I've got to keep going, keep going this time
Why do you do it?
Why do you treat us bad?
When you've got two kids who love you
And a wife that's missing you bad
I've got to go now
I've got to say goodbye
Don't try to stop us now
And please, don't you cry
Can't you see? We've all been through it
It's all been said before
With all these tears, for how many years
Can I keep coming back for more? No more
Don't try to stop us now
Don't pull that stuff on me
I've got the kids all packed up
Harry's in the back with his pick up truck
Jenny's fallen asleep again
I've got to keep driving 'til I reach the end
Why do you do it?
Why do you treat us bad?
When you've got two kids who love you
And a wife that's missing you bad
I've got to go now
I've got to say goodbye
Don't try to stop us now
And please, don't you cry
Can't you see? We've all been through it
It's all been said before
With all these tears, for how many years
Can I keep coming back for more? No more
Can't come back here anymore
And I know it, I know it
I, I can't come back here anymore
And I know it and I know it
I can't come back here anymore
And I know it and I know it
I can't come back here anymore
And I know it and I know it
I can't come back here anymore
And I know it and I know it
I can't come back here anymore
And I know it and I know it
I can't come back here anymore
And the more I try to wake him, the more he sleeps
I used to think I knew this man
The tenderness, not the back of his hand
It's been two weeks since he last had a drink
But the time bomb's ticking, I can never sleep
It would be easier if he did
Why do I stay here, stay with him?
Why do you do it?
Why do you treat us bad?
When you've got two kids who love you
And a wife that's missing you bad
I've got to go now
I've got to say goodbye
Don't try to stop us now
And please, don't you cry
Can't you see? We've all been through it
It's all been said before
With all these tears, for how many years
Can I keep coming back for more? No more
Must be addicted to all this pain
'Cause I keep coming back for the shame
Dear God, give me the strength to leave
I've got to keep going, keep going this time
Why do you do it?
Why do you treat us bad?
When you've got two kids who love you

I've got to say goodbye
Don't try to stop us now

Can't come back here anymore
And I know it, I know it
I, I can't come back here anymore
And I know it and I know it
I can't come back here anymore
And I know it and I know it
I can't come back here anymore
And I know it and I know it
I can't come back here anymore
And I know it and I know it
I can't come back here anymore
And I know it and I know it
I can't come back here anymore
