[Verse 1]
I Gpull into my driveway while the Cday is slowly dying in the Gwest
I Amlook in that direction to the Cmsetting sun and the one that Gloved me best
We cried and said goodbye seems like a Cmillion years ago or Gwas it yesterday
She Amswore she'd always love me CmGod I wonder if she still Gfeels that way
[Chorus]
I Ddid the right thing I did the Gright thing
I went back to my wife Cstraightened out my life
D I did the right Gthing Fm
[Verse 2]
I Gwalk in to the house and hear Csmall voices singing Gdaddy's here
The Amlady of the house puts down the Cmbeer she's drinking she says Ghello dear
While we make small talk my Cmind takes a long walk back to Gsomeone else
And I Amclose my eyes and reCmpeat those little lies I often Gtell myself
[Chorus]
I Ddid the right thing I did the Gright thing
I went back to my wife Cstraightened out my life
DLord, I did the right Gthing Fm

[Verse 3]
My Gface is wet with teardrops
I Cfumble for my wrist watch it's Ghalf past three
AmOnce more I was dreaming of the Cmwoman who once said she'd Gdie for me
But I did what was right and it Churts me every night now that Gshe's gone
And Amall my friends are proud Cmcause I gave her up to save my Ghome
[Chorus]
I Ddid the right thing, sure I Gdid the right thing
I went back to my wife Cstraightened out my life
D I did the right Gthing Fm
I did the Gright thing Fm G
