Lyrics

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 eight years old
I'm in love with a girl who's wrong for me; ask her, she will disagree
Her father was a small town man with small town dreams
And small town hands but..

Oh, I was there when there was nobody home
Please believe me when I say I don't know
Gone for good, in fact, but what does it mean?
Year and year, they always sold 'em but..

Easy enough to just look at her, whole world on a silver platter
What's that? is that for me? if I would set her conscience free
Won round one but it's not over, he don't care 'cause he don't know her
Too long, it's not the same, if I could lend a hand of shame but..

Oh, I was there when there was nobody home
Please believe me when I say I don't know
Gone for good, in fact, but what does it mean?
Year and year, they always sold 'em but..

You'll always be so much easier to see
Don't hide from me, that which I've already seen
Ya lie to me more than occasionally
Don't lie to me. ya 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?
Lonely as you and me
I'm as high as I'll ever be
Later on, last to see
The past is gone only for me
I'm alive

Oh, I was there when there was nobody home
Please believe me when I say I don't know
Gone for good, in fact, but what does it mean?
Year and year, they always sold 'em but..

Remember when it was me?
Drivin', you could never see me
We'll never try as we've been
