Peggy’s gone, after twenty nine years
Am F
Three grown children. What am I doing here?
C G
Why am I still alive? What am I supposed to do?
Am F
I ask myself. I’m asking you.

Peggy’s gone. She says it’s for good.
I say, “That’s bad.” But then I would.
Why am I still alive? What am I supposed to do?
I ask myself. I’m asking you.

                                 C                                      G

There’s a reason to live. I suspect that it’s true.
Am F
But can I trust someone? Someone like you?

Peggy’s gone. Til death do us part.
Will it be me, or will it just be my heart?
A promise that’s kept. A promise betrayed,
Is it just as it seems or is it justice delayed?

Am I some old dog you drop off at the pound?
If you’re gonna leave me you need to have me put down.

Peggy’s gone. She says it’s for good.
I say, “That’s bad.” But then I would.

After we signed our divorce papers, Peggy dropped me off across the street from the house and as I got out of the car she said, “I feel like I’m dropping a dog off at the pound.”
