|
She turned 21 in April, |
|
You know her birthday's the same as mine |
|
When we first met she'd never left Texas |
|
She was young and so confused |
|
She got caught up in the bright lights |
|
The whiskey, pills and all those late nights |
|
From the mountain where we standing, |
|
She fell so far that she could not see |
|
(Chorus) |
|
And I was angry when I woke up |
|
When I found out that we broke up |
|
She packed her bags, she was gone before the sun |
|
She left a letter on the table, |
|
Said catch me if you're able |
|
But I'll be moving fast and I'm still hard to find |
|
So I wont call you and I wont follow |
|
Cause the truth is hard to swallow |
|
Said I'd pick you up, but I'd only let you down. |
|
Heard from a friend you moved back to Corpus |
|
You always loved that ocean air |
|
I know that you know that I'm headed down that way |
|
Dont worry cause I wont call |
|
It'd be strange for me to see you |
|
You know there's so much left unsaid |
|
(Chorus) |
|
Said I'd pick you up but I'd only let you down |
|
Wrote you a letter while in Corpus |
|
It took everything I had |
|
Went down to the pier and looked out across that bay |
|
Took that letter then I watched it burn away |
|
(Chorus) |
