Tonight I came home late again

She didn't ask me where I'd been

Her bags were packed and sitting by the door

She looked at me and said goodbye

I did my best to change her mind

But she don't want to hear it anymore



CHORUS



She's steady as she goes

This time she's not crying

If I said it didn't hurt

I'd be lying

Where she got the strength to leave

Heaven only knows

But she's a rock steady as she goes



It tears me up to watch her go

But deep inside my heart I know

Leaving is the only choice she has

I guess she finally got the nerve

To give me just what I deserve

She's had enough and she ain't looking back



REPEAT CHORUS
