The Things You Left Undone

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
(Matraca Berg/Ronnie Samoset) Saturday, I drove into town In the co-op where your friends hang out I heard one say "What's she doing here?" Well, I held my head up high, swallowed my bitter tears. Yesterday at the hardware store They said "I'm sorry, you don't have no credit anymore" Well I walked out of there trying so hard to think Of another way that I could fix the kitchen sink Got into the truck and it wouldn't start Is it any wonder that I'm falling apart? Oh, I'm just another one of the things you left undone. Well I got home and went out to get the mail Walked back down the driveway with another pile of bills I need a job, boy, one more than I have Last night I fell asleep looking through the wanted ads. Woke up this morning on the pillow you left Laughed a little crazy as I made up the bed It's just another one of the things you left undone. I'm still finishing what I didn't start I'm still mending on this broken heart Oh, it's just another one of the things you left undone.
