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 lives And I'm not old but I'm getting a whole lot older every day 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 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 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 I understand that lovin a man shouldn't have to be this rough 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 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 [Repeat x3]
