She packed that party act,

Like a pack rat piled high with paper sacks.

Two quarts of oil, her calico cat:

Man, I never seen a woman get so mad.

She caught me by surprise,

When goodbye rang into the night like a steel wind chime.

Caught in a storm that was gettin' worse.

An' she just grabbed purse:

I can't believe she said it first.

'Cause I was gonna leave tomorrow anyway.

I had my car all gassed up,

Everything was all in place.

I let her have her glory, then her faith,

My heart will break an' that's ok.

I was gonna leave tomorrow anyway.

I watched her tail lights disappear,

Grabbed a beer, chucked it down so my eyes could clear.

An' fear appeared.

An' suddenly silence was the only thing my heart could hear.

An' this room is a tomb with empty walls, a broken broom.

With marks of leavin' on the floor,

Made by her shoes,

Like she knew what I was gonna do.

Still, I can't believe she left so soon.

'Cause I was gonna leave tomorrow anyway.

I had my car all gassed up,

Everything was all in place.

I let her have her glory, then her faith,

My heart will break an' that's ok.

I was gonna leave tomorrow anyway.

I bet she's somewhere between, Alberquerque, Amarillo.

Even at our favorite cafe:

I wish I had the guts to call.

Just so she could hear me say.

'Cause I was gonna leave tomorrow anyway.

I had my car all gassed up,

Everything was all in place.

I let her have her glory, then her faith,

My heart will break an' that's ok.

I was gonna leave tomorrow,

I was gonna leave tomorrow anyway, yeah.

Oooh.
