Before you left to go away   I wrote down what i couldn't say   I bet you read it on the road   With foggy lights and fingers cool      Now you drove so far but now you know   How rough it is to let me go   And let me recommend that you think twice   And i always give the best advice      Now come on back to where you know i'll be   Lets' go sit under the apple tree   You can floor that thing, let the engine roar   The wheels they'll spin, the rain it pours      And there's regret that you feel   About the choice you've made   You'll just have to deal   Before it goes away   You ask me how i feel   And here's what i'll say that   I'm doing fine, just fine   I'm doing fine
