Avoided if I'd only shut the window
[Chorus]
And I may be lAeavin' myself oEpen
To a Amurder or a heart aDttack
But I'm lAeavin' the back door Eopen
'Til you come Gback, 'til you come Dback
And I may be Amovin' myself Ecloser
To a Areal untimely Dend
But I'm Aleavin' the back door Eopen
'Til you come Ghome Dagain,
'Til you come Aho-Eome aDgain
[Verse 2]
And I Etold
The Dneighbors, I put Apictures up
And Ehanded out some Dflyers at the Ashow
And the Ewhole town's specuDlating
Situation Acould've been
