Monday evening
Lying down for bed
I got the days news
Hanging in my head
I got too much
Stuff to do
(And honey) So do you
Went down to Houston
To see if I could find
That piece of something
That could ease my mind
Couldn't find the answer
Only found more pain
When it pours it rains
Honey can't you see
It's killing you it's killing me
Got to leave that ball and chain
Living that way only brings us pain
Ain't it kinda funny
How you can feel alone
Even when I'm there
Even when I'm home
Handfuls of worry
At our fingertips
Running from your lips
Honey can't you see
It's killing you it's killing me
Got to leave that ball and chain
Living that way only brings us pain
Houston never did no good for me
It was just another town with a dead end street
And I swore to myself this time I was coming home
Every time I think I want to be alone
Every time I get a little bit on my own
Well I always regret it and the things that I never say
So I turned it around and headed back to you
And I thought about everything I put you through
And how you deserve better
Better than you've ever known
Cross my heart honey when I die
I'll have been a better man with you by my side
And this time I ain't leaving
Never leaving you alone
