VERSE I:. Everybody's searching for something, Expecting nothing. As the world keeps spinning around and 'round. Everybody's lost in reason, Pounding the ceiling.
Pulling in to my hometown. It all comes back to me. A million memories crashing down. It all comes back to me. Thought i'd left this place forever. I was chasing bigger dreams.
if only i had paid attention. to what you needed from me. i would have seen what you were missing. in the man i promised you i'd be. . and if only i had listened.
I was born in the backwoods. On a forgotten autumn day. I used to run thru the fields. I used to roll in the hay. Thought those days would last forever.
You really let yourself go, you really gotten all over me. Time has taken it's toll, you're not the woman you used to be. And if you ever think of me, you ain't letting it show.
When I loved you, you didn't want me. You turned me away from the door of your heart. When I loved you. You loved me too but you didn't know it darling.
You said youd go just for a year,. and i watched the tail lights dissappear, your words like old foot prints upon my mind.. yeah your family all was gone,.
Cold iron shackles, ball and chain. You listen to the whistle of the evening train. You know you bound to wind up dead. If you don't head back to Tennessee Jed.
More and more, I'm forgetting the past. More and more, I'm living at last. . Day by day, I'm losing my blues. More and more, I'm forgetting about you.
Sitting in the kitchen listening to the rain. Washing away my blues. I don't worry when I'm happy again. Living is it's own good news. I comb my hair like a straight A student.
I never fly, they say you don't know what you're missing. Your dreams just come alive, but I forget to try. So I, I never fly. . Warm in my bed, the places I imagine.
Every once in a while I think about you. And your strawberry hair. And little things that we used to do. I even called your old number. But it wasn't the same.
Yes, I do come here often but I don't call it alone. I've got a house up on Third but I wouldn't call it a home. These days I have secrets and I don't call them dreams.
Some days I just wanna cry. Oooo, but the days gone by. On the corner of Fifth Stree and Vine. Oooo, with a bottle of wine. The lights turn to red and I hustle for my bread.
I danced with an angel one night neath the stars. Where cowboys were singing and picking guitars. . The tune they were playing was a beautiful waltz. They called it Bandera, the Bandera Waltz.
The pain of goodbye and the teardrops in her eyes. Ain't nothing to the first long night in this empty house alone. The sweetest times of a romance. Will fill your mind the last slow dance.
If I needed you, would you come to me. Would come to me for to ease my pain?. And if you needed me, I would come to you. I would swim the seas for to ease your pain.
Hotter than a dollar'. Grown man holler'. Dudes linin'up sayin' Oh yeah!. From her boots to her collar. Legs are gettin' taller. dancin' on the bar singin' Oh yeah!.
Take me,take me. Come on and take me. . I've got you on my mind. Everybody's saying time. Take me,take me. Take me to heaven. . I dont know where you came from, no.
