[Verse 1]

Here we are

What is left of a husband and a wife

With four good kids who have a way

Of gettin' on with their lives

And I'm not old

But I'm gettin' a whole lot older every day

It's too late to keep from goin' crazy

I've got to get away

[Chorus]

The reasons that I can't stay

Don't have a thing to do with bein' in love

I understand that lovin' a man

Shouldn't have to be this rough

And you ain't the only one

Who feels like this world's left you far behind

I don't know why you gotta be

Angry all the time

[Verse 2]

Our boys are strong now

The spittin' image of you when you were young

I hope someday they can see past

What you have become

And I remember

Every time I said I'd never leave

But what I can't live with

Is memories of the way you used to be

[Chorus]

The reasons that I can't stay

Don't have a thing to do with bein' in love

I understand that lovin' a man

Shouldn't have to be this rough

And you ain't the only one

Who feels like this world's left you far behind

I don't know why you gotta be

Angry all the time

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Twenty years have came and went

Since I walked out of your door

I never quite made it back

To the one I was before

And, God, it hurts me to think of you

'Fore the light in your eyes was gone

And sometimes I don't know why

This old world can't leave well enough alone

[Chorus]

The reasons that I can't stay

Don't have a thing to do with bein' in love

I understand that lovin' a man

Shouldn't have to be this rough

And you ain't the only one

Who feels like this world's left you far behind

I don't know why you gotta be

Angry all the time

I don't know why you gotta be

Angry all the time

I don't know why you gotta be

Angry all the time
