A song about a man who loves his family, but is having an affair on the side. An interesting treatment of the subject. One line goes:
He knows that he can't win,
he just waits for tomorrow.
- Thinkin' Of Leavin'
- Words And Music By:
- Cheryl Wheeler
- He loves his wife and his babies
- But lately he don't know if he's going or coming
- Truth in his life turned to maybes
- And driving down the road
- He thinks of that other woman
- Everyone tries the best they can
- Nobody wants to bring any tears, any sorrow
- He tells a few lies but keeps his heartache in
- He knows that he can't win
- He just waits for tomorrow
- Can't rise above, he thinks he should
- But it don't do no good
- You know that love don't hear no other voice but it's own
- He's losing weight his friends all say
- They wish that they could look that way
- And every night he lays awake
- Thinkin' of leavin' home
- So he spends a few days in another town
- He keeps his profile down
- And he knows he is on the run
- Isn't it strange all that love can do
- It gets the best of you
- And makes a fool of us, everyone
