george strait - nobody in his right mind would've left her lyrics

i burn with desire each time my heart fans the fire
to that old flame that burns inside of me.
she cried when i left her, now i cry to forget her.
oh, how foolish i was to ever want to leave.

[chorus:]
'cause nobody in his right mind would've left her.
i had to be crazy to say goodbye.
nobody in his right mind would've left her.
even my heart was smart enough to stay behind.

i still carry her picture; i wish her well
with the new love i know she's found by now.
each night finds me dreamin', each day i spend thinkin'
how much i wish she was still around.

[chorus]

even my heart was smart enough to stay behind.
