Me and a friend, we have a little falling out
|
I can¡¯t pretend to recall what it was all about
|
Something pretty old, an event so small
|
But it done the offense
|
That was ten feet tall
|
|
And he won¡¯t call and neither will I
|
Can¡¯t begin to tell you why
|
Just a couple of stubborn guys on that old fence
|
It¡¯s a ten feet high
|
|
Oh the old man and I
|
We never really got along
|
Didn¡¯t see eye to eye
|
About the worth of some old song
|
He said get a job
|
|
Her buddy hit the road
|
All my bags are packed
|
I was ready to go
|
|
He couldn¡¯t talk and neither could I
|
We never stopped to say goodbye
|
I didn¡¯t realize I¡¯d never have another chance
|
To say goodbye
|
|
(Chorus)
|
And I should¡¯ve called them back and got it straight that very night
|
But you know that pride was always my downfall
|
Well since then my life has let me down this lonely path
|
At night I wonder how it might have all worked out
|
Had to call them back
|
Had to call them back
|
|
Offered the black top, I chose the gravel
|
Man it sure got crowded on this road less travelled
|
Put the blame on me, I own all my mistakes
|
While trying to dodge my destiny, ran smack into my face
|
|
I once knew a girl
|
Brother, back in the day
|
That sweet little thing
|
She threw a world of love my way
|
I took my big strong arms
|
And I pushed it away
|
I should¡¯ve pulled er close
|
She¡¯d be here today
|
|
I couldn¡¯t talk and neither could she
|
A few little tears became a raging sea
|
Now the only common ground I see
|
Is a distance between her and me
|
|
(Chorus)
|
And I should¡¯ve called her back and got it straight that very night
|
But you know that pride was always my downfall
|
Well since then my life has let me down this lonely track
|
At night I wonder how it might have all worked out
|
Had to call them back
|
Had to call them back
|
|
But you know that pride was always my great downfall
|
