One day, two days, three, four, five
Well that's how long that she's been gone
And that's a long time

[Chorus]
Five days, five days
Since you walked out the door
Won't you please come home
I couldn't stand five more

Well, the first day after she left me
I laughed and told my friends
That she'll be back before
The sun is setting down again

[Chorus]

Well, the second day after she left me
I started to have my doubts
I wondered if she was coming back
Or really had checked out

[Chorus]

Well, the third day after she left me
I started to watch the door
Before the day was over
I began to walk the floor

[Chorus]

Well, the fourth day after she left me
I really began to sweat
She should have been back days ago
But she ain't got back yet

[Chorus]
