Steady As She Goes

Tonight, I came home late again

She didn't ask me where I've 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 anymoreShe's steady as she goes

Now 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 rock steady as she goesIt 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 backShe's steady as she goes

Now 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 rock steady as she goes
