Verse One
I've been working the farm all morning,
fed the chickens, milked the old cow.
Plowed the fields from sunup to sundown,
I've been trying to forget you somehow.
Verse Two
Your memory just keeps on living
in the feather bed that we once shared.
For you set your sights on some cowboy,
now you're gone like you never were there.
Chorus
Why did you pretend that you loved me?
When it's clear that you wanted much more?
Your scent still lingers in our empty bed,
sad and lonely, I sleep on the floor.
Verse Three
What do I tell our little daughter?
When she asks me "where did mama go?"
Can't tell her the truth so I mutter,
"She'll be back soon 'cause she loves you so."
Verse Four
Each time I look at her, I see you,
but there's warmth in her eyes, yours were cold.
I hope your cowboy gives you comfort
when you miss us in years that unfold.
Chorus
Why did you pretend that you loved us?
When it's clear that you wanted much more?
Your scent still lingers in our empty bed,
sad and lonely, I sleep on the floor.
