LEAVING HER WAS EASY
 
Leaving her was easy
Once she’d done throw’d all my shit out in the yard
And all the things I’d done to hurt her
This time I’d pushed her too far
I knew it wadn’t personal what she done to me that day
No, she’d’a done the same to any man  that had treated her that way.
 
Leaving her was easy,
Once I knew I’d never change her mind
Sure, I’d seen her pissed off before but
God damn, I could tell she really meant it this time
There wasn’t nothing I could do or say    
To make all  I’d done wrong  right
So I picked up my stuff  threw in back of the truck
Called the dog and we crawled inside.
 
I cranked up my truck---well, actually she had to help me  push it off
And I rolled on down the drive
Through the tears in my rearview mirror
I seen her smile and wave goodbye
She walked back to the house but
She didn’t turn around
Like she’d always done before
Leaving her got easier
Once she stepped inside and closed the door    to the A and then
 
There wasn’t nothing I could do or say      
To make what I had done wrong right
Oh, leaving her---it was easier---once I made up her mind
Yea, leaving her was easy  once I made up her mind
