This man I married is buried deep
   and the more I try to wake him, the more he sleeps
   I used to think I knew this man
   the tenderness, not the back of his hand
  
   it's been two weeks since he last had a drink
   but the time bombs ticking, I can never sleep
   it would be easier if he did
   why do you stay here, stay with him?
  
   why do you do it?
   why do you treat us bad?
   when you've got two kids that love you
   and a wife that's missing you bad
   I've got to go now
   I've got to say goodbye
   don't try to stop us now
   and please don't you cry
   can't you see. we've all been through it
   it's all been said before
   with all these fears,
   for how many years can I keep coming
   back for more
   no more
  
   must be addicted to all this pain
   cause I keep coming back for the shame
   dear god give me the strength to leave
   I've got to keep going, keep going this time
  
   don't try to stop us now
   don't pull that stuff on me
   I've got the kids all packed up
   harry's in the back with his pick up truck
   jenny's fallen asleep again
   I've got to keep driving till i reach the end
  
   I can't come back here anymore
   and I know it
   and I know it
   I can't come back here anymore
   and I know it
   and I know it
