[Verse 1]
Monday evening, lying down for bed
I got the day's news hangin' in my head
I got too much stuff to do
And so do you

[Verse 2]
Went down to Houston to see if I could find
That piece of something that could ease my mind
I couldn't find the answer, only found more pain
When it pours, it rains

[Chorus]
Honey, can't you see?
It's killin' you, it's killin' me
Got to leave that ball and chain
Livin' that way only brings us pain

[Verse 3]
Ain't it kinda funny how you can feel alone
Even when I'm there, even when I'm home?
Handfuls of worry in her fingertips
Runnin' from your lips

[Chorus]
Honey, can't you see?
It's killin' you, it's killin' me
Got to leave that ball and chain
Livin' that way only brings us pain
Only brings us pain
[Outro]
Houston never did no good for me
It was just another town with dead end streets
And I swore to myself, this time I was comin' home
Every time I think I wanna be alone
Every time I get a little bit on my own
Well, I always regret the things that I never said
So I turned it around and headed back to you
And I thought about everything I put you through
And you deserve better than I've ever let you know
Cross my heart, honey, when I die
I'll have been a better man with you by my side
And I swear I ain't leavin', never leavin' you alone
