Steady As She Goes - Wade Hayes
This song is on the "Old enough to know better" CD and was written by Don Cook
along with Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn of Brooks & Dunn. I guess you could kinda
tell 'cause the chord sequence in the verses is identical to that of Brooks &
Dunn's "Workin' on my next broken heart"...
INTRO: C D Am G Em D G G
Tonight I came home late again, she didn't ask me where I've been
Her bags were packed and sitting by the door
She looked at me and said goodbye, I did my best to change her mind
But she don't wanna 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
Where she got the strength to leave Heaven only knows
(N.C.) Em D G
But she's a rock, steady as she goes
It tears me up to watch her go, but deep inside my heart I know
Leaving 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
(N.C.) Em D G
she's a rock, steady as she goes
(N.C.) Em D C G
she's a rock, steady as she goes.
D/F# 2x023x
