1
I pull into my driveway
2
While the day is slowly dying in the west
3
I look in that direction
4
To the setting sun and the one that loved me best
5
We cried and said goodbye
6
Seems like a million years ago or was it yesterday
7
She swore she'd always love
8
God, I wonder if she still feels that way
9
I did the right thing
10
I did the right thing
11
I went back to my wife
12
Straightened out my life
13
I did the right thing
14
I walk in to the house
15
And hear small voices singing, "Daddy's here"
16
The lady of the house puts down the beer she's drinking
17
She says, "Hello, dear"
18
While we make small talk
19
My mind takes a long walk back to someone else
20
And I close my eyes and repeat those little lies
21
I often tell myself
22
I did the right thing
23
I did the right thing
24
I went back to my wife
25
Straightened out my life
26
Lord, I did the right thing
27
My face is wet with teardrops
28
I fumble for my wrist watch, it's half past three
29
Once more I was dreaming of the woman
30
Who once said she'd die for me
31
But I did what was right
32
And it hurts me every night now that she's gone
33
And all my friends are proud
34
'Cause I gave her up to save my home
35
I did the right thing
36
Sure, I did the right thing
37
I went back to my wife
38
Straightened out my life
39
I did the right thing
40
I did the right thing
