[Verse 1]
G C G I pull into my driveway while the day is slowly dying in the west Am Cm G I look in that direction to the setting sun and the one that loved me best C G We cried and said goodbye seems like a million years ago or was it yesterday Am Cm G She swore she'd always love me God I wonder if she still feels that way
[Chorus]
D G I did the right thing I did the right thing C I went back to my wife straightened out my life D G Fm I did the right thing
[Verse 2]
G C G I walk in to the house and hear small voices singing daddy's here Am Cm G The lady of the house puts down the beer she's drinking she says hello dear C G While we make small talk my mind takes a long walk back to someone else Am Cm G And I close my eyes and repeat those little lies I often tell myself
[Chorus]
D G I did the right thing I did the right thing C I went back to my wife straightened out my life D G Fm Lord, I did the right thing

[Verse 3]
G My face is wet with teardrops C G I fumble for my wrist watch it's half past three Am Cm G Once more I was dreaming of the woman who once said she'd die for me C G But I did what was right and it hurts me every night now that she's gone Am Cm G And all my friends are proud cause I gave her up to save my home
[Chorus]
D G I did the right thing, sure I did the right thing C I went back to my wife straightened out my life D G Fm I did the right thing G Fm G I did the right thing
