(Dallas Frazier - Arthur Leo Owens)

When you were only friendly on my mind
You knew that it would rain on down the line
Did we have to come this far to say goodbye?

Why did you keep puttin' off your leaving
When staying was the last thing on your mind
You could have turned around and spared my feelings
Did we have to come this far to say goodbye?

What made you give my love a chance
To live just long enough to be afraid to die
You knew I wanted more than you would give
Did we have to come this far to say goodbye?

Why did you keep puttin' off your leaving
When staying was the last thing on your mind
You could have turned around and spared my feelings
Did we have to come this far to say goodbye?..
