I Did the Right Thing

I pull into my driveway
 While the day is slowly dying in the west
 I look in that direction
 To the setting sun and the one that loved me best
 We cried and said goodbye
 Seems like a million years ago or was it yesterday
 She swore she'd always love
 God, I wonder if she still feels that way
 I did the right thing
 I did the right thing
 I went back to my wife
 Straightened out my life
 I did the right thing
 I walk in to the house
 And hear small voices singing, "Daddy's here"
 The lady of the house puts down the beer she's drinking
 She says, "Hello, dear"
 While we make small talk
 My mind takes a long walk back to someone else
 And I close my eyes and repeat those little lies
 I often tell myself
 I did the right thing
 I did the right thing
 I went back to my wife
 Straightened out my life
 Lord, I did the right thing
 My face is wet with teardrops
 I fumble for my wrist watch, it's half past three
 Once more I was dreaming of the woman
 Who once said she'd die for me
 But I did what was right
 And it hurts me every night now that she's gone
 And all my friends are proud
 'Cause I gave her up to save my home
 I did the right thing
 Sure, I did the right thing
 I went back to my wife
 Straightened out my life
 I did the right thing
 I did the right thing
