lyrics

Life seems like a train never stopping for the side streets
And going one direction for awhile
You come to a fork and you make your one selection
You put your head down as if you made the right one now

With age there comes reason and reasons come decisions
Decisions I should have and not have made
With women there comes question and questions come answers
Answers I should never have gave

*Chorus
Now looking back on the past that I’ve lived through
And the friends that have stuck around for the times
The whiskey was the savior and the buffer in between us
To keep things simple and to hide

I still remember mornings and the sunlight we shared
And the way that she kissed me through the glare
All I wanted was some company but complexity intrigues her
So she kicked me out and I walked on my own

So to me the very way of lacking this confusion
Is to keep things as simple as I can
To go on without her so that she can be about her
And the pain grows no further within

*Chorus

Now we all think were right and the other persons wrong
And they couldn’t understand what its like to be me
It all sounds kind of silly like another country song
And the fact that it makes good sense for now

*Chorus
