By our house runs the highway only forty feet away In the driveway sits the car that I could used to get away Up the sidewalk comes the reason I'm still hangin' on The little boy that makes the difference between goin' and really gone You tell me it's all over there's no reason I should stay You've already found another and I'm only in your way But past the mailbox walks the reason I'm still hangin' on The little boy that makes the difference between goin' and really gone Here comes six years of difference between goin' and really gone Sixty pounds of reasons just walked across the lawn Into the arms of his daddy no I can't do him wrong For I help create the difference between goin' and really gone Yes, I help create the difference between goin' and really gone
