|
Fell in love in high school |
|
With a brown haired, green eyed gir |
|
I walked her home most everyday |
|
Held her hand, I held the world |
|
We made our plan to run away |
|
I couldn't wait to share her life |
|
We started countin down the days |
|
She couldn't wait to be my wife |
|
I got a job and bought a car |
|
I turned 18 that spring |
|
By summer had my own place |
|
And I bought my baby's ring |
|
Fell in with the wrong crowd |
|
Breakin laws, I broke her heart |
|
By autumn was in handcuffs |
|
Baby's cryin out in her front yard |
|
And that's what hurt the most |
|
I saw it in her green eyes |
|
She had seen a ghost |
|
My mama saw me every week |
|
Tried her hardest not to cry |
|
She told me that she loved me |
|
Disappointment in her eyes |
|
I said, "Mama, I love you too |
|
And I'm gonna make you proud one day" |
|
A month before I got out |
|
They told me mama passed away |
|
And that's what hurt the most |
|
I saw it in her eyes, her son was a ghost |
|
I hate this life I chose |
|
Long before she died her son was a ghost |
|
Now I got my freedom |
|
But it feels like emptiness |
|
In front of the apartment |
|
Where your sister says you live |
|
And there's another man, who fills my empty shoes |
|
And darlin you don't see me |
|
But you know that I see you, I drift off... |
|
I'm gonna fade away |
|
Beyond the city lights |
|
I'm gonna fade away |
|
Through the emty night |
|
I'm gonna fade away |
|
Drifting out your life |
|
I wanna fade away |
|
Through the empty night |
