He was never much for shopping
But you'd always see him with her at the store
She was never much for football
She'd sit there and pretend she wasn't bored
You saw one you saw the other
Like a two lane Texas highway straight and true
But just over that horizon the road that they were riding split in two

Separate ways, his and hers
A love that went from great to good to bad to worse
Separate lives, what a waste
The last thing they ever did together was go their separate ways

It really scares me baby
How easily that good love slipped away
Let's remember that forever is something that we should work at everyday
And after all those years together, it killed me when I saw their love go bad
So let's hold on to each other and don't end up like my mother and my dad

Separate ways his and hers
A love that went from great to good to bad to worse
Separate lives what a waste
The last thing they ever did together was go their separate ways

Yeah the last thing they ever did together
Will haunt me forever and ever
Let's promise one another that we'll never go our separate ways
