Carla

	An empty house is hard to bear
	Lonesome's falling everywhere
	Without you there's no light coming in
	That lucky dog jumped the fence
	Ain't seen him around here since
	And I don't guess
	I ever will again
	It didn't bother me any,
	I was good to that dog
	And just like you
	I'm gonna have to learn to let him go
	Leaving me was one thing
	CarlaWhy'd 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 didn't bother me any when he come around
	I just wish
	I hadn't been the last guy in town to know
	I didn't 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 he'll be good to you
	Who wouldn't be?
	What else is new?
	And now all that
	I can do is wish you well
	It wouldn't 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
	CarlaWhy'd you have to leave so slow?
	I didn't mind you walking away
	What hurt was how you walked so slow
