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 want to hear it anymore
  
   She's steady as she goes
   Now she's not crying
   If I said it didn't hur t
   I'd be lying
   Where she got the strength to leave
   Heaven only knows
   But she's rock steady as she goes
  
   It tears me up to watch her go
   But deep inside my heart I know
   Leaveing 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
  
   She's steady as she goes
   Now she's not crying
   If I said it didn't hurt
   I'd be lying
   Where she got the strength to leave
   Heaven only knows
   But she's rock steady as she goes
