[Verse 1] I was tossin’ your flannels in a beat-up bag Had my keys in hand, tryin’ not to look back Rehearsed my lines in the mirror with flair- “Don’t call, don’t write, don’t you even care” But the second I hit that gravel road, I heard your boots, and baby, oh ohh woah [Chorus] You almost let me go, Slammed that front door, like you always did before Said “we’re through,” but God knows I knew You’d be back before I could Be packed, and dressed, and cryin’ like a mess - Then there you were, sweet talkin’ in your best Oh baby, you almost let me go [Verse 2 ] You had flowers in hand like a get-outta-jail With that “baby, I’m sorry” fairytale Said, “You’re the one I keep runnin’ to” - Yeah, I’ve heard that line since ’ninety-two I could’ve slammed that door right then, But damn, you smelled like home again… [Chorus] You almost let me go, Slammed that front door, like you always did before Said “we’re through,” but God knows I knew You’d be back before I could Be packed, and dressed, and cryin’ like a mess - Then there you were, sweet talkin’ in your best Oh baby, you almost let me go Yeah... [Bridge] One day your charm might lose its shine, And maybe I’ll cross out your heart this time You’ll knock, I won’t be home - And that’s when you’ll know you’re really alone [Final Chorus] You almost let me go, Slammed that front door like you didn’t know Said “we’re through,” but darlin’, I knew You’d come runnin’ ‘fore my coffee brewed I was packed, half-dressed, still cryin’ like a mess - Then there you were, sweet-talkin’ in your best Oh baby, you almost let me go… [Tag] But not today, not yet, not quite - Guess we’ll dance our dance one more night, tonight…
