Standing in the doorway She was crying Big as life She was waving me goodbye The fool that I am Saw it coming Did not have to guess the reason why
She said again and again, 'I'll be going.' 'And one day you're gonna be here alone.' And right now I'm starting to believe her She just ain't leavin', she's gone
This ain't the first time That I've been through this I know the price I'm gonna pay, you see I've got one ex-wife already And I've got another on the way
(guitar solo)
She could always tell that I was lying And God knows that I'd be lying all the time And sitting here right now You know that I'm dying Cause I could not keep myself in line
And it's too late I'm gonna need her And the night's are getting cold and long And I, never will forget that front door slamming You know, because, She just ain't leaving, she's gone
