Say what you will but my bags are all packed
Lord knows I made up my mind
Broke off the rear view so I can’t look back
What makes you think that I’ll be home tonight

Turned off the lights grabbed the keys to the Ford
Left all the pictures behind
Closed all the curtains and walked out the door
What makes you think that I’ll be home tonight

Must be two hundred times that I told you before
You can’t still be wondering why
I can’t stay anymore honey life’s just too short
What makes you think that I’ll be home tonight

Filled up the tank so I don’t need to stop
Said all my tender goodbyes
Packed me some jerky and a bone for the dog
What makes you think that I’ll be home tonight

Stayed here too long let you do me all wrong
It was only a matter of time
You can’t change the past or the fact that I’m gone
What makes you think that I’ll be home tonight

Must be two hundred times that I told you before
You can’t still be wondering why
I can’t stay anymore honey life’s just too short
What makes you think that I’ll be home tonight

Do what you want with the house and the yard
Burn it all down if you like
That’s what you get girl you broke my damn heart
What makes you think that I’ll be home tonight
