Yes, he wore a cowboy hat;
Each bone broken in his back.
All the money and all the gold
Couldn't buy my love at 8 years old.
Now I'm in love with a girl that's wrong for me;
Ask her, she will disagree.
Her father was a small time man,
With small time dreams and small time hands,
But...

But I was there when there was nobody home.
Please believe me when I say I dunno.
Gone for good, in fact, but what does it mean?
Within a year they always sold and bought.

Easy enough to just look at her
Whole world on a silver platter.
Was that that bad for me?
If I was there the scotch is free.
Won round one, but its not over.
He don't care cause he don't know her.
True love is not the same;
If I could lend a hand in shame.

But I was there when there was nobody home.
Please believe me when I say I dunno.
Gone for good, in fact, but what does it mean?
Within a year they always sold and bought.

If I was big,
So much easier to see.
Don't hide from me
That which I've already seen.
You lie to me,
More than occasionally.
Don't lie to me.
You lied to me.

I'm as high as I'll ever be.
I don't mind; stay and see.
They've all gone; why don't we?
Holding hands, you and me.
But I'm as high as I'll ever be,
But later on lies to see.
My past is gone, only from me.
I'm alive.

But I was there when there was nobody home.
Please believe me when I say I dunno.
Gone for good, in fact, but what does it mean?
Within a year they always sold and bought.

Remember when it was me
Driving come down just for me
And then we'll try as we've been
