What a rotten day this turned out to be I still can't believe she'd leave so easily She just got all her things threw em' into a pile Then she loaded her car and said after a while She done this before but this time she didn't cry That's why I'm sittin on the front steps Starin down the road, wonderin' if she'll come Back this time I don't know After she packed When she looked back There were no tears in her eyes And that's got me worried thinking Maybe my baby's gotten good at a goodbyes All the times before she'd break down and cry She'd make her threats, but her heart wasn't set on goodbye She just wanted me to hear what she had to say Now I'm lost for words since she went away She may not return for this time she didn't cry That's why I'm sittin on the front steps Starin down the road, wonderin' if she'll come back This time I don't know After she packed when she looked back There were no tears in her eyes And that's got me worried thinking Maybe my baby's gotten good at goodbye That's why I'm sittin on the front steps Staring down the road, wonderin' if she'll come back This time I don't know After she packed when she looked back There were no tears in her eyes And that's got me worried thinking Maybe my baby's gotten good at goodbye
