Why'd it have to happen this way Of all the days it could have been What a day I am scared What am I to do with those eyes look at what you've done to my pride I am ill prepared Well me and God got talkin' to do A lot of catching up A lot of sussing through I think he saw me lying through my teeth I was picturing my heaven but you were not with me I was back in the states and you couldn't hear my tears at the gates You were proud of me that day You know I caught a smile before you turned away Oh you and I were close friends I wish I could get you out of my mind You let me slip through the great divide But you you are here so me and God got talkin' to do A lot of catching up A lot of sussing through I think he saw me lying through my teeth I was picturing my heaven but you were not with me I was back in the states and you couldn't hear my tears at the gates Well me and God got talkin' to do A lot of catching up A lot of sussing through I think he saw me lying through my teeth I was picturing my heaven but you were not with me I was back in the states and you couldn't hear my tears at the gates I was back in the states and you couldn't hear my tears at the gates
