[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 a rock, steady as she goes [Verse 2] It tears me up to watch her go But deep inside my heart I know Leaving 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 [Chorus] 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 a rock, steady as she goes [Tag] She's a rock Steady as she goes
