I Let a Good Woman Go - The Soulful Gentlemen/Soul Blues Icon
I hear what you're saying, girl.
I don't know.
I heard everywhere.
I used to come home smelling like places I should never have been.
With a weak excuse.
And that same old crooked grin.
You would look me in the eye like you were waiting on the truth.
But I kept using my pride over the woman who loved me through.
You gave me chances I didn't deserve.
More than any man should know.
Now I'm standing in the silence of the home I let go.
Come on.
I let a good woman go.
One mine, oh.
For a little bit of nothing and a whole lot of ego.
My every lonely sound keeps reminding me.
So what I threw out.
It'll always be that.
Thought your love would never run dry.
Now I'm learning too late, even faithful hearts set.
Yeah, I let a good woman go.
And losing you is the hardest truth I know.
Your side of the bed is empty.
Your perfume's fading from the room.
And every little memory hits me harder than the blues.
I found your note inside the drawer.
Said I hope you find your way.
Funny how a few small words can take a grown man and that way, way.
Can't blame the whiskey.
Can't blame the road.
Can't blame anybody else, the truth is baby.
I broke the best thing I ever had myself.
I let a good woman go.
One mine, oh.
For a little bit of nothing and a whole lot of ego.
Now every room in this house keeps reminding me of what I threw out.
I thought you'd always be there.
Thought your love would never run dry.
Now I'm learning too late, even faithful hearts set.
Yeah, I let a good woman go.
And losing you is the hardest truth I know.
If I could turn one night around, I'd turn a thousand more.
I'd leave my foolish pride outside before I walk through that door.
But sorry don't rebuild trust, and tears don't change the past.
A man can learn his lesson baby, he's still learning to damn late.
I let a good woman go.
Now I'm paying for the seeds I chose to sow.
You found your strength and walked away.
And I got nobody but myself to blame.
If somebody loves you good, you better love them while you can.
Cause a woman can forgive you, then wake up and choose self again.
Yeah, I let a good woman go, and losing you is the hardest truth I know.
You ever hit this song baby, I ain't asking you to come back.
I just hope the next man knows what I was too foolish to understand.
