Here we are, what is left of a husband and a wife With four good kids who have a way of gettin' on with their life. And I'm not old but I'm gettin' a whole lot older everyday. It's too late to keep from goin' crazy, I've got to get away. The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love And I understand that lovin' a man shouldn't have to be this rough But you ain't the only one who feels like this world left you far behind I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time. The boys are strong now, a spittin' image of you when you were young. I hope someday they can see past what you have become. And I remember everytime I said I'd never leave But what I can't live with is memories of the way you used to be. The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love And I understand that lovin' a man shouldn't have to be this rough But you ain't the only one who feels like this world left you far behind I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time. ( Twenty years have came and went since I walked out of your door. I never quite made it back to the one I was before. And God it hurts me to think of you for the light in your eyes was gone. And sometimes I don't know why this old world can't leave well enough alone.
