[Verse]
He don't act like he ought to
As he puts down one last drink
And he don't talk much like he used to
He just sits back and he thinks
Oh he's leaving her
But she doesn't know that yet
Across town, in a broken home
A glass of wine while she waits
And no ring on the telephone
's already half past eight
Oh he's leaving her
But she doesn't know that yet

[Chorus]
He's got one westbound ticket in hand back to Omaha
Really hates to be leavin' this way
But won't rеgret movin' on
His bags are packed as hе leaves his heart
He's taking all that he has left
Oh he's leaving that girl
But she doesn't know that yet

[Verse]
She never knew that he came home
Slipped down the hall to the door
He heard enough to know what she wants
He's never hurt like that before
Oh he's leaving her
But she doesn't know that yet
[Chorus]
He's got one westbound ticket in hand back to Omaha
Really hates to be leavin' this way
But won't regret movin' on
His bags are packed as he leaves his heart
He's taking all that he has left
Oh he's leaving that girl
But she doesn't know that yet

Oh she doesn't know

[Verse]
He draws a shade to the window
That train slowly pulls away
The hardest part of change is letting go
Holding on to words he couldn't say
Oh he's leaving her
But she doesn't know that yet
