Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What a rotten day this turned out to be
I still can't believe she'd leave so easily
She just got all her things, threw 'em into a pile
Then she loaded her car and said after a while
She'd done this before, but this time she didn't cry
[Chorus]
That's why I'm sittin' on the front steps
Starin' down the road
Wonderin' if she'll come back
This time I don't know
After she packed
When she looked back
There were no tears in her eyes
And that's got me worried
Thinkin' maybe my baby's gotten good at goodbye
[Verse 2]
All the times before, she'd break down and cry
She'd make her threats, but her heart wasn't set on goodbye
She just wanted me to hear what she had to say
Now I'm lost for words since she went away
She may not return, for this time she didn't cry
[Chorus]
That's why I'm sittin' on the front steps
Starin' down the road
Wonderin' if she'll come back
This time I don't know
After she packed
When she looked back
There were no tears in her eyes
And that's got me worried
Thinkin' maybe my baby's gotten good at goodbye
[Chorus]
That's why I'm sittin' on the front steps
Starin' down the road
Wonderin' if she'll come back
This time I don't know
After she packed
When she looked back
There were no tears in her eyes
And that's got me worried
Thinkin' maybe my baby's gotten good at goodbye
