She's Gonna Make It
Garth Brooks · Sevens [1997]
He followed her to work this morning
He'd never seen that dress before
She seemed to sail right through those dark clouds forming
That he knows he's headed for
After seven years of marriage
He wanted out
And after seven monthes of freedom
Its clear that there's no doubt
She's gonna make it
And he never will
He's at the foot of the mountain
And she's over that hill
He's sinkin' at sea, and her sails are filled
She's gonna make it
And he never will
And you know its not like she's forgot about him
She's just dealing with the pain
And the fact that she's survived so well without him
You know it's driving him insane
And the crazy thing about it
Is she'd take him back
But the fool in him that walked out
Is the fool that just won't ask
She's gonna make it
And he never will
He's at the foot of the mountain
And she's over that hill
He's sinkin' at sea, and her sails are filled
She's gonna make
And he never will
He'd never seen that dress before
She seemed to sail right through those dark clouds forming
That he knows he's headed for
After seven years of marriage
He wanted out
And after seven monthes of freedom
Its clear that there's no doubt
She's gonna make it
And he never will
He's at the foot of the mountain
And she's over that hill
He's sinkin' at sea, and her sails are filled
She's gonna make it
And he never will
And you know its not like she's forgot about him
She's just dealing with the pain
And the fact that she's survived so well without him
You know it's driving him insane
And the crazy thing about it
Is she'd take him back
But the fool in him that walked out
Is the fool that just won't ask
She's gonna make it
And he never will
He's at the foot of the mountain
And she's over that hill
He's sinkin' at sea, and her sails are filled
She's gonna make
And he never will
She's Gonna Make It
