Tonight, I came home late again
She didn't ask me where I've been
Her bags were packed and sitting by the door
She looked at me and said goodbye
I did my best to change her mind
But she don't wanna hear it anymore

Steady as she goes
This time she's not crying
If I said it didn't hurt, oh, I'd be lying
Where she got the strength to leave, heaven only knows
She's a rock, steady as she goes

It tears me up to watch her go
But deep inside my heart I know
Leaving is the only choice she has
I guess she finally got the nerve
To give me just what I deserve
She's had enough and she ain't looking back

Oh, she's steady as she goes
This time she's not crying
If I said it didn't hurt, oh, I'd be lying
Where she got the strength to leave, heaven only knows
She's a rock, steady as she goes 

Oh, she's steady as she goes
This time she's not crying
If I said it didn't hurt, oh, I'd be lying
Where she got the strength to leave, heaven only knows
She's a rock, steady as she goes 
She's a rock, steady as she goes 
Oh, she's a rock, steady as she goes
