Here we are
what is left
of a husband and a wife
four good kids
who have a way
of gettin' on
with their lives
I'm not old
but I'm gettin'
a whole lot older
every day.
It's too late
to keep from goin' crazy
I 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
And you ain't the only one
who feels like
this world's left you
far behind
I don't know why
you gotta be
angry all the time
Our boys are strong, now
the spittin' image of you
when you were young
I hope someday
they can see past
what you have become
And I remember
every time
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
And you ain't the only one
who feels like this world's
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
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
And you ain't the only one
who feels like this world's
left you far behind
I don't know why
you gotta be
angry all the time
I don't know why
you gotta be
angry all the time
I don't know why
you gotta be
angry all the time
