Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I pull into my driveway While the day is slowly dying in the west I look in that direction To the setting sun and the one who loved me best We cried and said goodbye Seems like a million years ago or was it yesterday? She swore she'd always love me God, I wonder if she still feels that way I did the right thing I did the right thing I went back to my wife Straightened out my life I did the right thing I walk in to the house And hear small voices singing, "Daddy's here" The lady of the house puts down the beer she's drinking And says, "Hello, dear" While we make small talk My mind takes a long walk back to someone else And I close my eyes and repeat those little lies I often tell myself I did the right thing I did the right thing I went back to my wife Straightened out my life Lord, I did the right thing My face is wet with teardrops I fumble for my wrist watch, it's half past three Once more I was dreaming of the woman Who once said she'd die for me But I did what was right And it hurts me every night now that she's gone And all my friends are proud 'Cause I gave her up to save my home I did the right thing Sure, I did the right thing I went back to my wife Straightened out my life I did the right thing I did the right thing
