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 anymore

She'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

It 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 back

She'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
