She took her things (and said goodbye)

[Spoken word]
This is a song about two lovers,
[verse 1]
He was a small town country boy,
She was a big time city girl,
And how they both brought joy, 
To each other's world,
They first met, on a Saturday night,
Their first date, was  by the river side,
Twelve months later, on that wedding day,
They all  bet, she"s in the family way,
[Build]
[Chorus]
Now he"s not losing sleep,
With the rumors in town,
That He put her six feet deep,
On that piece of ground,
But the truth is that when his wallet ran dry,
She took her things and said goodbye 
[Verse 2]
She was taught to put it on credit,
He was taught to save for it,
Every time they fought about money,
She would say now listen to me honey,
This is how it's going to go, 
Don't even try to say no,
The bills kept coming in,
It was time to make a livin'
So he stayed out on the road,
Just trying to keep their home 
[Build]
[Chorus]
[Instrumental break]
[Bridge]
[Spoken word]
They tried for years, but it didn't last,
I guess they got married way too fast,
Now he never took another bride,
She's now married to  another  guy,
And They tried to be friends,
Now that's where the story ends.
[Build]
[Chorus]
[Instrumental break]
The truth is that, when his wallet ran dry,
She took her things, and said goodbye 
[Fade]
