soaring on a road outside of houston
radio turned up and windows down
I don't know just what I used to
it's all because of this loser's crown

there's clouds up ahead in the sky
and I'm headed southward into the rain
lightning dancing all along the storm
and thunder shaking like the pain

oh there's gonna be some trouble
down this lonely road
right before my eyes and still I go
there's gonna be some trouble
right around the bend
and I'm still chargin in

my friends all called me crazy
said I'd never try
but I laid those fears to rest
the night you had to cry
and the baby that I had to hold
was gone before I knew
I know that was the night
that I lost you

standing in the rain
hearing all those songs
we danced to beneath the moon
before all those wrongs
I finely felt just what I lost
and know just what had died
when I came home one day and found
that you had cried

and it's the tears that I swore you'd never have
that broke me down
it's the pain that I failed to stop
that made me wear this crown
if I'd have only known that leaving would have made it even worse
I'd have stayed with you in that sleepy town

but I was young and restless,
at the end of my rope
no where I could turn to
no way I could cope
so I packed on up and drove away
with a lonely tear to cry
it was the day that I
had to say goodbye

oh it's taken me three years and a hundred thousand miles
to see just what I threw away
without a moments comprehension of who I was
I just thought that it was ok

and now that I know just what I have put you through
I'm stuck inside the hell that I had placed on you
and I know that you're the right one and the only one for me
but I know that it's not what you see

cause all you remember
is who I used to be

Alot to absorb here but I wanted to say that I read this and in fact, am still reading it over and over.

yes lots to absorb...and lots to ponder...

I enjoyed the read here... found the story compelling in the wanting to know more... and at the same time not needing to knw more to understand....

so sad to rue our days

but "we can't unscramble eggs" so I guess it's time to make an omelet

and that's in the seasoning
