Songtext Won't be coming home Robert Cray

Won't be coming home

As her car pulls out the driveway
And she don't wave goodbye
Her last words echo in my mind
Listen honey, i gotta get away

I'm standing here watching her tail lights
As if they're some kind of sign
Fading into a memory
I just got tired of trying

So long, i hate to see you go
So i save my tears for later on down the road
How come i keep i holding on
Knowing you won't be coming home

Two days later i get a letter
A picture of a room in some hotel
Sitting framed up on the table,
A picture i know so well
You've painted yourself in to a corner
Now you're trying to paint something new
And your lipstick on the letter
Is a goodbye kiss from you

So long, i hate to see you go
So i save my tears for later on down the road
How come i keep i holding on
Knowing you won't be coming home

I still set the table
Still set it for you and me
It's become a habit
My own personal make believe

So long, i hate to see you go
So i save my tears for later on down the road
How come i kee? i holding on
Knowing you won't be coming home

So long, i hate to see you go
So i save my tears for later on down the road
How come i keep i holding on
Knowing you won't be coming home
