(Intro)
She was headed south, he was headed west
The life they once shared
Now a thing of their past
She wondered how they had came
To this fork in the road

V1
They had shared history since they were kids
Their marriage had lasted almost 26 years
Then as life does–it threw them some blows
A foreclosure, job losses, and vehicle repos
With two kids to feed, the bills were set aside
It was too much stress for their love to survive

Chorus:
It is what it is but it ain't what it was
They had once shared a fiery love
Time has a way of revealing its own truth
Their love grew tired like an old pair of boots
Neither loved the other like they used to
She wasn't sure she wanted that back again

V2
She had sat at home-alone-most nights
She carved out her life and this was her lot
She had molded herself into what he needed her to be
She raised up the kids while he traveled for work
She admired how good of a father he was
It was hard to understand why he couldn't give her half that much

Repeat chorus

Bridge:
If she was honest, she knew it was time to move on
The kids were all grown–no longer at home
So she packed her bags and loaded up her car

Repeat chorus

Outro)
She was headed south, he was headed west
The life they once shared
Now a thing of the past
She wondered how they had came
To this fork in the road
