Steady As She Goes Lyrics by Wade Hayes

Old Enough To Know Better

1995

[Verse 1]
Tonight I came home late again
She didn't ask me where I've been
Her bags were packed and settin' by the door
She looked at me and said, "Goodbye"
I did my best to change her mind
But she don't want to hear it anymore

[Chorus]
She's steady as she goes
This time, she's not crying
If I said, "It didn't hurt," oh, I'd be lying
When she got the strength to leave, heaven only knows
But she's a rock, steady as she goes

[Verse 2]
It tears me up to watch her go
But deep inside my heart, I know
Leavin' is the only choice she has
I guess she finally got the nerve
To give me just what I deserve
She's had enough, and she ain't lookin' back

[Chorus]
She's steady as she goes
This time, she's not crying
If I said, "It didn't hurt," oh, I'd be lying
When she got the strength to leave, heaven only knows
But she's a rock, steady as she goes
She's steady as she goes
This time, she's not crying
If I said, "It didn't hurt," oh, I'd be lying
When she got the strength to leave, heaven only knows
But she's a rock, steady as she goes

[Outro]
She's a rock, steady as she goes
Oh, she's a rock, steady as she goes
