[00:25.09]I saw you at the police station
[00:27.72]and it breaks my heart to say.
[00:30.84]Your eyes had wandered off to something distant,
[00:34.15]cold and grey.
[00:35.28]
[00:37.28]I guess you didn't see it coming,
[00:39.16]
[00:40.16]Someone's gotten used to slumming.
[00:41.78]
[00:43.10]Dreaming of the golden years,
[00:44.72]
[00:46.15]I see you had to change careers.
[00:48.69]
[00:51.95]Far away, but we both know it's somewhere.
[00:54.38]I saw you on the back page
[00:56.20]
[00:57.01]Of some free press yesterday
[00:58.57]
[00:59.94]The driftwood in your eyes
[01:01.88]
[01:02.45]Said nothing short of love for pay.
[01:04.51]
[01:06.51]I know you from another picture,
[01:08.20]
[01:09.51]Of someone with the most convictions.
[01:11.14]
[01:12.26]We used to read the funny papers,
[01:14.13]
[01:15.32]Fooled around and pulled some capers.
[01:17.01]
[01:17.89]Not today, send a message to her.
[01:22.70]
[01:24.14]A message that I'm coming, coming to pursue her.
[01:28.51]
[01:29.63]Down home country,
[01:30.95]
[01:33.07]I rest my face on your bed.
[01:38.32]
[01:40.01]I've got you ten times over,
[01:42.01]
[01:44.95]I'll chase you down 'til you're dead.
[01:50.13]
[01:52.76]I saw you on a TV station and it made me wanna pray.
[01:57.01]
[01:58.63]An empty shell of loveliness is now dusted with decay.
[02:02.39]
[02:05.01]What happened to the funny paper?
[02:06.95]
[02:07.95]Smiling was your money maker.
[02:09.57]
[02:10.95]Someone oughta situate her,
[02:12.64]
[02:13.82]Find a way to educate her.
[02:15.57]
[02:16.26]All the way, time to come and find you.
[02:21.51]
[02:22.64]You can't hide from me girl,
[02:24.64]
[02:25.57]so never mind what I do.
[02:27.88]Down home country,
[02:29.38]
[02:31.57]I rest my face on your bed.
[02:38.26]I met my soul mate country
[02:40.00]
[02:43.23]And I left it all for your head
[02:48.58]
[03:23.02]I saw you in the church and there was no time to exchange.
[03:27.84]
[03:28.96]You were getting married and it felt so very strange.
[03:33.15]
[03:35.46]I guess I didn't see it coming,
[03:37.00]
[03:38.50]Now I guess it's me who's bumming.
[03:40.57]
[03:41.44]Dreaming of the golden years,
[03:43.19]
[03:44.32]You and I were mixing tears.
[03:46.07]
[03:46.69]Not today, not for me but someone.
[03:51.63]
[03:53.13]I never could get used to, so now I will refuse to.
[03:57.57]
[03:58.51]Down home country,
[03:59.94]
[04:02.01]I rest my face on your bed.
[04:07.25]
[04:08.76]I met my soul mate country
[04:11.38]
[04:13.57]And I left it all for your head
[04:19.01]
[04:20.32]I've got my best foot forward
[04:23.00]
[04:25.21]And I'll chase you down 'til you're dead
