I heard the other version but this one sound a lot closer to the original.
Intro:
Here we are, what is left of a husband and a wife.
With four good kids who have a way of getting on with their lives.
And I'm not old, but I'm getting a whole lot older every day.
It's too late too keep from going crazy, I've got to get away.
Chorus:
The reasons that I can't stay don't have a thing
to do with being in love.
And I understand that loving a man shouldn't have to be
this rough.
And you ain't the only one who feels like this
worlds left you far behind.
I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time.
Verse 2: Our kids are grown now. The spittin' image of you when
you were young.
I hope someday they can see past what you have become.
And I remember everytime I said I'd never leave.
But what I can't live with are memories of
the way you used to be.
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3: Twenty years have came and went since
I walked out of your door.
I never quite made it back to the one I was before.
And God it hurts me to think of you for
the light in your eyes was gone.
And sometimes I don't know why this old world
can't leave well enough alone.
Repeat Chorus
Outro:
There it is. I hope you enjoy it. It's my first. I've only been
playing for 4 months. It's so cool to learn by ear.
