i did the right thing

i pull into my driveway

while the day is slowly dying in the west

i look in that direction

to the setting sun and the one that loved me best

we cried and said goodbye

seems like a million years ago or was it yesterday

she swore she'd always love

god

i wonder if she still feels that way

i did the right thing

i did the right thing

i went back to my wife

straightened out my life

i did the right thing

i walk in to the house

and hear small voices singing

daddy's here"
