Текст Lori McKenna – Written Permission

Well, I left your life by the side of the road
I got a clear conscience, decoded the code
Your bags are packed, you’re already gone
And that’s the last you’ll hear of me

I got a ‘For Sale’ sign and a brain in my head
I have paid my dues, I’m not crazy or dead
I know life is hard, well so am I
Don’t cry for me, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

‘Cause I have laid down my guns and ammunition
You can go now, you can go now, you can leave now
This is my written permission

Well, I’ve been fighting for you for most of my life
I fought as a girlfriend, I fought as a wife
Oh, prisoners they say are no one to love
Well, I am throwing in the towel, I am taking of the gloves

‘Cause I have laid down my guns and ammunition
You can go now, you can go now, you can leave now
This is my written permission

So when you tell Susan that you love her you can look her in the eye
And when you tell Gina you can look her in the eye.
You can sleep with yourself, you can sleep with your lies
Your lies, your lies, your lies

I’m okay now
Goodbye

Some do it for the kids, some do it for God
Some do it forever but some are frauds
Some taste perfection and love the flavour
But don’t stay beside me thinking you’re doing me some sort of favour

‘Cause I have laid down my guns and ammunition
