I Was Gonna Leave Tomorrow Anyway Lyrics

INTRO: G Dsus4 G Dsus4
She packed that Pontiac 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 windchime
Caught in a storm that was gettin' worse and she just grabbed her purse
I can't believe she said it first, 'cause
CHORUS:
I was gonna leave tomorrow anyway
I had my car all gassed up, everything was so in place
I let her have her glory, let her think my heart would break and that's okay
I was gonna leave tomorrow anyway
I watched her taillights disappear, grabbed a beer, chugged it down so my eyes could clear
And fear appeared and suddenly silence was the only thing my heart could hear
And 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
BRIDGE:
I bet she's somewhere between Albuquerque, Amarillo
Eatin' at our favorite cafe
I wish I had the guts to call just so she could hear me say
CHORUS:
Hey I was gonna leave tomorrow anyway
I had my car all gassed up, everything was so in place
I let her have her glory, let her think my heart would break and that's okay
I was gonna leave tomorrow
I was gonna leave tomorrow anyway, yeah
