I was speeding thru the dark
|
I didn't know how far
|
it can all run away with you sometimes
|
in an empty boxcar
|
|
you were trying to tell me somethin
|
I wasn't listening to you
|
and there was nothing but confusion
|
every time that train come blowing thru
|
|
then you wrote me in a letter
|
I dont know how your courage came
|
and you told me what you wanted
|
every word in tears and flames
|
|
you lvoed me more than ever
|
in spite of all the hurt inside
|
and it crakced my heart wide open
|
till there was no place left to hide and
|
|
I wanna thank you babe for letting me back in
|
I wanna thank you for asking me to love you again
|
I wanna thank you babe for letting me back in
|
I wanna thank you for asking me to love you again.
|
|
I'd forgotten how to be patient
|
I'd forgotten how to carress
|
I'd forgotten how to ask for help
|
and how to struggle for my best
|
|
I was harder than those iron wheels
|
rollin down the track
|
and every trip I took
|
I never looked to get any feelings back so
|
|
I wanna thank you babe for letting me back in
|
I wanna thank you for asking me to love you again
|
I wanna thank you babe for letting me back in
|
I wanna thank you for asking me to love you again.
|
|
you met me at the station
|
with a promise and a kiss
|
you said my love for you will alwyas be true
|
but you must remember this
|
|
respect me and protect me
|
but dont expect me not to fall
|
and I will do the same for you
|
until the final call
|
|
I wanna thank you babe for letting me back in
|
I wanna thank you for asking me to love you again
|
I wanna thank you babe for letting me back in
|
I wanna thank you for asking me to love you again.
|
|
thank you baby for letting me back in
|
I want to thank you for asking me to love you again
|

Love You Again
