Packed Her Bags

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She folded up that tiny pink coat Put her daughter in the backseat slow Same old road, same old hurt Same old man with the same old words He said, "Baby, don't you go again" Like he hadn't broke her heart back then While she was round with the life they made He was chasing tails and lying brave [Pre-Chorus] She's left before, came crawling home Every time she swore she'd go But this time there's a little hand Holding tight to the better plan [Chorus] She packed her bags This time for real For her little girl For a safer deal No more tears in the hallway No more "sorry" from his mouth She's breaking the wheel now She ain't turning back around [Verse 2] That house was full of slammed doors Broken trust and cheating sores He made her doubt her own damn mind Made her feel small every single time But her daughter smiled from the car seat Like she knew what freedom means Two small shoes and a full tank of hope That's the life she's trying to hold [Pre-Chorus] She's left before, came crawling home Every time she swore she'd go But this time there's a little hand Holding tight to the better plan [Chorus] She packed her bags This time for real For her little girl For a safer deal No more tears in the hallway No more "sorry" from his mouth She's breaking the wheel now She ain't turning back around [Bridge] Let him call, let him cry Let him promise one more time She done learned the hard way Love don't live where fear stays And the rearview shakes As the miles stretch wide Her daughter sleeps with a hand in hers And a brand-new world outside [Final Chorus] She packed her bags This time for real For her little girl For a safer deal No more tears in the hallway No more "sorry" from his mouth She's breaking the wheel now She ain't turning back around She packed her bags She chose her child Left the hurt behind For a better life
