I'm so tired of hearing tales of coming news
|
Telling tales of a changing sky
|
It's just a shame I didn't notice you
|
Till someone I loved had to die
|
What made us think that this was so different
|
Who is driving behind those things you say
|
Why do you insult me and my friends
|
Who are my friends anyway
|
I've spent my life lying now I pay the price
|
Are these really words of a young man or a worthless human life
|
I don't mean to scare you with the things I say
|
I take it back, yes it's a beautiful day
|
I watched you from the beach when your ship sailed
|
You made it clear that nothing stays the same
|
It's getting darker I wonder if you can tell
|
I wonder when all that changed
|
|
You never used to let me go un---
|
I was so distracted I never saw the rain
|
You promised you meant every word you said
|
I wonder when all that changed
|
It hurts so bad to hear such pretty words coming from somebody like you
|
I've been looking for so long that I've lost touch
|
With what's the best something to do
|
I've got a friend who makes good choices
|
Everybody likes the way that he sees things
|
I've got a problem and it walks me daily
|
Can't you see no one is proud of me
|
It's a long road alone and I'm not proving
|
Anything going by myself
|
When your love life is all that's really moving
|
Oh sugar girl I really appreciate the help
|
|
I had my time with money gold and diamonds
|
Both went sour before they got to me
|
I'll be waiting girl but don't be counting hours
|
I'm not waiting for any other three
|
I was just a peasant from the highlands
|
She said don't you call me your mountain girl
|
I said don't bother me I'm trying to write and don't worry you ain't my mountain girl
|
I can call you but I'd probably make you cry
|
These days it's what you often times do
|
Call the preacher then go call your father
|
Tell them that the wedding plans have moved
|
I send a message saying I'll be gone forever
|
The letter of reply never came
|
She said that she'd be true but I wouldn't let her
|
I wonder when all that changed
|
|
Hell has no fury like a woman
|
Happy scorned or otherwise
|
You can do what you want to with your name
|
But you can bet I'm changing mine
|
Well I'd give a $100 to get a letter
|
If at the bottom it said I miss you bad
|
See but the truth of the matter is that back home no one really misses me
|
See how I talk when I'm sad
|
Since I was young I've known a lot of women...
