 There I was at  the bus stop beggin’ you  just to stay
  Can we work  this out, baby we can work  this out
 A dust trail from  a Greyhound headed for  the West Coast
  As I watch  you leave, it’s gettin’ hard  to breathe
  No this ain’t how  it was suppose to be
 You’re out chasin’ all your dreams
  Tell  me where does that leave me
What  about the plans that you left behind
 The little  white house by the railway line
 The one  we picked out, we even put the payment down
What  about the promise that you made
 To stay  with me 'til your dying day
 You said you’d never  go away
 Are they just things that people  say
 Are they just things,  baby
 The preacher stopped by  the house last Tuesday
 Asked if I was fine
  We sat and talked  a while, he tried to make  me smile
  But it’s  so hard to show  my face round lately
 In this small town
  I guess they heard  the news 'bout me  and you
  It’s three a.m.  and I can’t sleep at all
  I wonder  where you are tonight and do  I ever cross your mind
What  about the plans that you left behind
 The little  white house by the railway line
 The one  we picked out, we even put the payment down
What  about the promise that you made
 To stay  with me 'til your dying day
 You said you’d never  go away
 Are they just things that people  say
 Well my momma  won’t stop crying
 She wonders  what went wrong
 Could I have loved  a little deeper
 Or did I hold  on too strong
What  about the plans that you left behind
 The little  white house by the railway line
 The one  we picked out, we even put the payment down
What  about the promise that you made
 To stay  with me 'til your dying day
 You said you’d never  go away
 Are they just things that people  say
 Are they just things,  baby
