He won't leave. He won't make a clean break. He lingers on to her. He holds on, hoping for a glimmer of affection from the girl who no longer wants him. His new girlfriend is pregnant. She knows he won't leave the past behind him. She knows he's holding on, desperate. The pregnant girlfriend knows he won't be with her completely. She knows, and she takes it.
"Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds; I took a shot of cocaine and shot my woman down; I went right home and I went to bed; I stuck that lovin fourty-four beneath my head"
--Johnny Cash
