Won'tBeComingHome

Won't Be Coming Home (Live) - Robert Cray/The Robert Cray Band

As her car pulls out the driveway

And she don't wave goodbye

Her last words echo in my mind

Listen honey I gotta get away

I'm standing here watching her tail lights

As if they're some kind of sign

Fading into a memory

I just got tired of trying

So long I hate to see you go

But I save my tears for later on down the road

How come I keep I holding on

Knowing that you won't be coming home

No

You won't be coming home

Two days later I get a letter

A picture of a room in some hotel

Sitting framed up on the table

It's a picture that I I know so well

You've painted yourself in to a corner

Now you're trying to paint something new

And your lipstick on the letter

Is a goodbye kiss from you

Hey baby

So long you know I hate to see you go

But I save my tears for later on down the road

How come I keep I holding on

Knowing that you won't be coming home no

I still set the table

Still set it for you and me

It's become a habit

My own personal make believe

So long I hate to see you go

But I save my tears for later on down the road

How come I keep I holding on

Knowing that you won't be coming home

So long I hate to see you go

I don't save my tears for later on down the road

How come I keep I holding on

Knowing that you won't be coming home no

Knowing that you won't be coming home no
