You Didn't Have To Go All The Way - Junior Brown

Well I knew you was going but you didn’t have to go all the way

Right out of my life and into his arms to stay

You got tired of me but you were supposed to be back someday

I knew you was going but you didn’t have to go all the way

Well You said you needed time for a little peace of mind

You’ld be back in a week or so

Then a week turned into a month or two now it’s been about a year ago

And all the time I believed you still wanted me

But he was working on you every day

I knew you was going but you didn’t have to go all the way

Well I knew you was going but you didn’t have to go all the way

Right out of my life and into his arms to stay

You got tired of me but you were supposed to be back someday

I knew you was going but you didn’t have to go all the way

Well I knew you was goin' but I never was a’knowin' that you ever want to go

that far

And now you’ve got a man with a gold wedding band

Tellin' everyone how happy you are

If I’d of ever known that you were never coming home

I’d of never let you go that day

I knew you was going but you didn’t have to go all the way

Yeah I knew you was going but you didn’t have to go all the way

Right out of my life and into his arms to stay

You got tired of me but you were supposed to be back someday

I knew you was going but you didn’t have to go all the way

I knew you was going but you didn’t have to go all the way
