Yes he wore a cowboy hat
Each bone broken in his back
All the money and all the gold
Couldn't buy my love at 8 years old
Now I'm in love with a girl thats wrong for me
Ask her, she will disagree
Her father was a small time man
With small time dreams and small time hands
But

I was there when there was nobody home
Please believe me when I say I don't know
Gone for good in fact but what does it mean
Within a year they always sold 'em, but

Easy enough to just look at her
Whole world on a silver platter
What's that, is that for me?
If I would set her conscience free
Won round one but its not over
He don't care cause he don't know her
Too long, its not the same
If I could lend a hand in shame but

I was there when there was nobody home
Please believe me when I say I don't know
Gone for good in fact but what does it mean
Within a year they always sold 'em, but

You'll always be
So much easier to see
Don't hide from me
That which I've already seen
You lie to me
More than occasionally
Don't lie to me
You lied to me

I'm as high as I'll ever be
I don't mind, Stay and see
They've all gone, Why don't we
Holding hands, you and me
But I'm as high as I'll ever be
Later on, last to see
My past is gone, only for me
But I'm alive

But I was there when there was nobody home
Please believe me when I say I dunno
Gone for good infact but what does it mean
Within a year they always sold and bought

Remember when it was me
Driving come down just for me
And then we'll try as we've been
