She packed that party act 

Like a pack rat piled high with paper sacks 

Two quarts of oil, her calico cat 

Man, I never seen a woman get so mad 

She caught me by surprise 

When goodbye rang into the night like a steel wind chime 

Caught in a storm that was gettin' worse 

An' she just grabbed purse 

I can't believe she said it first 



'Cause I was gonna leave tomorrow anyway 

I had my car all gassed up 

Everything was all in place 

I let her have her glory, then her faith 

My heart will break an' that's okay 

I was gonna leave tomorrow anyway 



I watched her tail lights disappear 

Grabbed a beer, chucked it down so my eyes could clear 

An' fear appeared 

An' suddenly silence was the only thing my heart could hear 

An' this room is a tomb with empty walls, a broken broom 

With marks of leavin' on the floor 

Made by her shoes 

Like she knew what I was gonna do 

Still, I can't believe she left so soon 



'Cause I was gonna leave tomorrow anyway 

I had my car all gassed up 

Everything was all in place 

I let her have her glory, then her faith 

My heart will break an' that's okay 

I was gonna leave tomorrow anyway 



I bet she's somewhere between 

Alberquerque, Amarillo 

Even at our favorite cafe 

I wish I had the guts to call 

Just so she could hear me say 



'Cause I was gonna leave tomorrow anyway 

I had my car all gassed up 

Everything was all in place 

I let her have her glory, then her faith 

My heart will break an' that's okay 

I was gonna leave tomorrow 

I was gonna leave tomorrow anyway, yeah 

Oooh
