We were through, couldnt fight any more, she packed her bags, and was out the door,
The words we said cut to the bone, now I am alone
Shes been gone for three months now, I dont know where and I dont care how
My travelin star came callin around, time to leave this town
Another hole in this battered heart, another day and a brand new start,
Another job and a different life, without the pain and strife
Park the trailer by my new front door, moving boxes cover the floor
A new house filled with my same old things, Im takin off my ring
Seen in the cold hard light of day, I dont blame her for going away
For better or worse just wasnt enough, we fell apart when the road got rough
I just gotta walk this path a while, for a few more lonely miles
Traveling a new road on my own, starting out again, alone
(So I) walk the streets of my new home town, alleys and sidewalks up and down
The city square and the covered bridge, sunset from the ridge
Down by the river the waters high, the trees have turned and the black geese fly
Autumns ending, soon winters here, the wind whispers in my ear
A snowy night and my cell phone rings, its her and shes sayin kinder things
Reminiscing about way back when, she wants to try again
(I said) Ill always hold you in my heart, but we both need a brand new start
You are you and I am me, we just disagree
Morning brings a tear to my eye, but I had to tell her that last goodbye,
After all the pain and tears, I couldnt take any more heartbreak years
Its quiet and peaceful and Ill be okay, its gettin better every day
Ive struggled, learned, healed and grown, starting out again, alone
