I saw a reflection of a shadow
|
of a woman I once loved
|
There stood my faith, my own
|
reflection, bitterness more often than love
|
So I bought a gun, took a pill, hung a rope
|
to reach my love
|
But I had no bullets, just and aspiring, bitterness
|
more often than love
|
|
I went down to cass and henry,
|
Me and my girl
|
I was 2 hours late
|
And 23 months too early
|
Me and my girl we were so high
|
So high I couldn't reach, well
|
Where my baby lay up in the sky
|
but as the day went on she was with another man
|
That stood about 6 foot 3, 240 pounds
|
|
By this time it was about 12:30
|
And I was passed out on the ground
|
Saw a hand to reach down and help me up
|
She was the prettiest little thing
|
That came to take me home
|
When she asked how old I was I told her 22
|
She said she was 19 and the day was young
|
So she took me home to her parents house
|
I had no idea why
|
I was going to her parents house
|
Just a regular woman, and a regular man
|
Regular woman, regular man
|
Regular woman
|
|
Its been about a year and I saw her the other day
|
Hangin' out down cass and henry
|
The girl who broke my heart
|
The girl who made me wear my heart on the sleeve
|
I'm never, never gonna meet another girl
|
Never ever, never ever
|
|
And she was gone
|
