Leaving for Good
The house was dark
When I got home
Another empty evenin'
Of bad TV and PBR
This ain't what I'd call livin'
But this is all
That I can do
Since she set me free
Why did she say
She was leaving for good
When it feels so bad to me
I thought she was
The one for me
And true love I was feelin'
But time can make
A mess of things
And send the good times reelin'
She packed her bags
After our last fight
Took off like a bee
Why did she say
She was leavin' for good
When it feels so bad to me
It's run through my mind
A thousand times
I still can't make it fit
I tried every way
To make her stay
But she just up and quit
If I could find
My way to her
I'd ask her what went wrong
I'd promise her
The whole wide world
If she would just come home
'Cause I can't stand
Another night
Of pain and misery
Why did she say
She was leavin' for good
When it feels so bad to me
It's run through my mind
Like I'm doin' time
In a prison that I can't see
Why did she say
She was leavin' for good
When it feels so bad to me
Oh, why did she say
She was leavin' for good
When it feels so bad to me
When I got home
Another empty evenin'
Of bad TV and PBR
This ain't what I'd call livin'
But this is all
That I can do
Since she set me free
Why did she say
She was leaving for good
When it feels so bad to me
I thought she was
The one for me
And true love I was feelin'
But time can make
A mess of things
And send the good times reelin'
She packed her bags
After our last fight
Took off like a bee
Why did she say
She was leavin' for good
When it feels so bad to me
It's run through my mind
A thousand times
I still can't make it fit
I tried every way
To make her stay
But she just up and quit
If I could find
My way to her
I'd ask her what went wrong
I'd promise her
The whole wide world
If she would just come home
'Cause I can't stand
Another night
Of pain and misery
Why did she say
She was leavin' for good
When it feels so bad to me
It's run through my mind
Like I'm doin' time
In a prison that I can't see
Why did she say
She was leavin' for good
When it feels so bad to me
Oh, why did she say
She was leavin' for good
When it feels so bad to me
