Lonely River

(アルバム： Doin' My Time - 2011)

She called it off the other night
Thought everything would turn out right
I guess she had all she could take
She left my heart and soul to break
I didn't know what else to do
So I finished a bottle of 90 proof
I left a message on the phone
Said I'm headed down around San Antone

I'm floating down this lonely river
After everything I give her
She said I did her wrong, she had to be alone
And now I'm trying to forget her
I'm floating down this lonely river
Trying hard to not remember
All the times we had, both the good and the bad
Now I know I'm gonna miss her
I'm floating down this lonely river

Met her there a year ago
On spring break down in Mexico
A couple drinks and a couple songs
Had her laughing all night long
Said she was ready to settle down
So I took her back to my hometown
But all she wanted all along
Was just another name on her telephone

I'm floating down this lonely river
After everything I give her
She said I did her wrong, she had to be alone
And now I'm trying to forget her
I'm floating down this lonely river
Trying hard to not remember
All the times we had, both the good and the bad
Now I know I'm gonna miss her
I'm floating down this lonely river

I guess sometimes in life these waters run too fast
But we can't spend all of our time living in the past
Like a piece of driftwood I'm out here floating all alone
I'm trying to keep my heart above this water but it's sinking like a stone

I'm floating down this lonely river
After everything I give her
She said I did her wrong, she had to be alone
And now I'm trying to forget her
I'm floating down this lonely river
Trying hard to not remember
All the times we had, both the good and the bad
Now I know I'm gonna miss her
I'm floating down this lonely river
