Well I knew you was going but you didn't have to go all the way
Right out of my life and into his arms to stay
You got tired of me but you were supposed to be back someday
I knew you was going but you didn't have to go all the way
Well You said you needed time for a little peace of mind
You'ld be back in a week or so
Then a week turned into a month or two now it's been about a year ago
And all the time I believed you still wanted me
But he was working on you every day
I knew you was going but you didn't have to go all the way
Well I knew you was going but you didn't have to go all the way
Right out of my life and into his arms to stay
You got tired of me but you were supposed to be back someday
I knew you was going but you didn't have to go all the way
Well I knew you was goin' but I never was a'knowin' that you ever want to go that far
And now you've got a man with a gold wedding band
Tellin' everyone how happy you are
If I'd of ever known that you were never coming home
I'd of never let you go that day
I knew you was going but you didn't have to go all the way
Yeah I knew you was going but you didn't have to go all the way
Right out of my life and into his arms to stay
You got tired of me but you were supposed to be back someday
I knew you was going but you didn't have to go all the way
I knew you was going but you didn't have to go all the way
