I Don't Have To Wonder

Drove to your house
Tryin' not to cry
And I just couldn't bring myself
To do more than hide

So I sat alone
In my car across the street
Watched your shadows dancing on the drapes
The last thing on your mind was me

I could just imagine
What was goin' on in there
The lights down low and the music soft
His fingers runnin' through your hair

And in less time than it takes a tear to fall
My gun rang loud as thunder
As he walked out you door
Now I don't have to wonder anymore

I laughed, but you were cryin'
And then the sirens came
And when the flashing lights approached
I drove off the other way

And I don't quite know
Why things happened like they did
But I parked my Camaro
On that lonesome river bridge

I took my gun from the back seat
And loaded it one last time
Put the barrel to my temple
I pulled the trigger and I let her fly

And in less time than it takes a tear to fall
My last bullet left the chamber
Oh, and now I'm gone for sure
Oh, and I don't have to wonder anymore

Well, the angels sang like thunder
As my lifeless corpse went under
Now I don't have to wonder...

Anymore
