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 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
