You Ain't Leavin'
Toby Keith Lyrics

Till death do us part
The vow taken by the couple during their wedding ceremony to stay together for their entire life

Was what she told that preacher man
The woman promised the preacher man during their wedding ceremony that she would stay with her husband until they die

Now she says this ain't worth dying for
The woman has changed her mind and does not find their relationship worth sacrificing her life for anymore

She's had all she can stand
The woman cannot bear to stay in the relationship anymore as she has reached her limit

She's boxed up mama's china
The woman is packing away her precious possessions, including her mother's china, as she prepares to leave

It's loaded on the truck
Her packed belongings are being loaded onto the truck to be transported to her new life

She just got started packing
The woman has only just begun with the process of packing

And I'm thinking this could suck
The man is feeling apprehensive about being left alone and anticipates things going poorly for him

Now there goes my Lazy-Boy
The woman is packing away the man's prized possession, his Lazy-Boy chair

My flat-top guitar
The man's favorite guitar is being taken away by the woman

Here comes her big sister
The woman's sister arrives at the man’s house to help with the packing

What's she doing in my car
The man is startled to see the woman's sister driving his car

As they drive off to the city
The woman and her sister are leaving and heading towards the city to start a new life

I just wave
The man waves goodbye to the woman and her sister as they leave

From the top of my lungs
The man is shouting and calling out to the woman from the depths of his heart

I hope she heard me say
The man is expressing his last bit of hope that the woman received his parting words

You ain't leaving thank God are you
The man is grateful that the woman is leaving him

You can't be gone fast enough
The man wants the woman to leave quickly

What seemed to take a lifetime
The man felt that their relationship was dragging on and felt as if it took a lifetime to end

Just left in a cloud of dust
The woman's exit was sudden and hasty

This will make my girlfriend happy
The man's new girlfriend would be happy to hear that the woman has left him

She's the one who never thought you would
The man's new girlfriend never believed that the woman would actually leave him

Let us pray you're gone for good
The man and his new girlfriend are praying that the woman never comes back

She forgot her new laptop
The woman forgot her new laptop which means she will have to return to collect it

So I know she'll be back
The man is optimistic that the woman will return eventually as she forgot her new laptop

I'll have a hot tub full of hotties
The man is planning to enjoy his time alone with other attractive women in his hot tub

Icing down a twenty four pack
The man has stocked up on a lot of alcohol

She'll cuss me like a sailor
The woman will speak to him in a very derogatory and abusive manner

But I don't care
The man is indifferent to what the woman thinks or says about him

I'll have a few choice words
The man also has a few things he would like to express to the woman

When I come up for air
The man is anticipating being under the water and needing to come up for air because the woman comments will be so intense

Let us pray you're gone for good
The man and his new girlfriend are still hoping that the woman does not return

Adios
The song ends with a customary Spanish goodbye - Adios
