here we are
what is left of a husband and a wife four good kids
who have a way of gettin on with their lives
i'm not old but i'm getting a whole lot older every day
it's too late to keep from goin' crazy
i got to get away
the reasons that i can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love
and i understand that lovin a man shouldn't have to be this rough
you ain't the only one who feels like this world left you far behind
i don't know why you gotta be angry all the time
our boys are strong the spittin image of you when you were young
i hope someday they can see past what you have become
i remember every time i said i'd never leave
what i can't live with is memories of the way you used to be
the reasons that i can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love
and i understand that lovin a man shouldn't have to be this rough
you ain't the only one who feels like this world left you far behind
i don't know why you gotta be angry all the time
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 sometimes
i don't know why this old world can't leave well enough alone
the reasons that i can't stay don't have a thing to do with being in love
and i understand that lovin a man shouldn't have to be this rough
you ain't the only one who feels like this world left you far behind
i don't know why you gotta be angry all the time
