Trent Tomlinson – I Was Gonna Leave Tomorrow Anyway lyrics

Album: Country Is My Rock

She packed that party act,
Like a pack rat piled high with paper sacks.
Two quarts of oil, her calico cat:
Man, I never seen a woman get so mad.
She caught me by surprise,
When goodbye rang into the night like a steel wind chime.
Caught in a storm that was gettin' worse.
An' she just grabbed purse:
I can't believe she said it first.

'Cause I was gonna leave tomorrow anyway.
I had my car all gassed up,
Everything was all in place.
I let her have her glory, then her faith,
My heart will break an' that's ok.
I was gonna leave tomorrow anyway.

I watched her tail lights disappear,
Grabbed a beer, chucked it down so my eyes could clear.
An' fear appeared.
An' suddenly silence was the only thing my heart could hear.
An' this room is a tomb with empty walls, a broken broom.
With marks of leavin' on the floor,
Made by her shoes,
Like she knew what I was gonna do.
Still, I can't believe she left so soon.

'Cause I was gonna leave tomorrow anyway.
I had my car all gassed up,
Everything was all in place.
I let her have her glory, then her faith,
My heart will break an' that's ok.
I was gonna leave tomorrow anyway.

I bet she's somewhere between, Alberquerque, Amarillo.
Even at our favorite cafe:
I wish I had the guts to call.
Just so she could hear me say.

'Cause I was gonna leave tomorrow anyway.
I had my car all gassed up,
Everything was all in place.
I let her have her glory, then her faith,
My heart will break an' that's ok.
I was gonna leave tomorrow,
I was gonna leave tomorrow anyway, yeah.
Oooh.
