By our house runs the highway only forty feet away

In the driveway sits the car that I could used to get away

Up the sidewalk comes the reason I'm still hanging on

The little boy that makes the difference between going and really gone

You tell me it's all over there's no reason I should stay

You've already found another and I'm only in your way

But past the mailbox walks the reason I'm still hanging on

The little boy that makes the difference between going and really gone

Here comes six years of difference between going and really gone

Sixty pounds of reasons just walk across the lawn

Into the arms of his daddy no I can't do him wrong

For I help create the difference between going and really gone

Yes I help create the difference between going and really gone
