Todd Snider

An empty house is hard to bear
Lonesomes falling everywhere
Without you theres no light coming in
That lucky dog jumped the fence
Aint seen him around here since
And I dont guess I ever will again
It didnt bother me any, I was good to that dog
And just like you Im gonna have to learn to let him go
Leaving me was one thing Carla
Whyd you have to leave so slow?
Slow and shifty backing out
You were trying to fill my head with doubt
You nearly had me walking out on you
About the oldest trick to be
Playing on someone as old as me
That can not be the best that you can do
It didnt bother me any when he come around
I just wish I hadnt been the last guy in town to know
I didnt mind you walking away
What hurt was how you walked so slow
You know, you go
You know that was so underhanded
Grabbing him just as you landed
After holding me the whole time you fell
You tell me hell be good to you
Who wouldnt be? What else is new?
And now all that I can do is wish you well
It wouldnt have bothered me any
If you left me when you wanted to
But you just had to wait until you had some place better to go
Leaving me was one thing Carla
Whyd you have to leave so slow?
I didnt mind you walking away
What hurt was how you walked so slow
[ Carla Lyrics ]
