Things People Say
There I was at the bus stop beggin' you just to stayCan we work this out, baby we can work this outA dust trail from a Greyhound headed for the West CoastAs I watch you leave, it's gettin' hard to breatheNo this ain't how it was suppose to beWhile you're out chasin' all your dreamsTell me where does that leave me
[Chorus]What about the plans that you left behindThe little white house by the railway lineThe one we picked outWe even put the payment downWhat about the promise that you madeTo stay with me till your dying daySaid you'd never go awayAre they just things that people say
The preacher stopped by the house last TuesdayAsked if I was fineWe sat and talked a whileHe tried to make me smileBut it's so hard to show my face round latelyIn this small townI guess they heard the news'Bout me and youIt's three a.m. and I can't sleep at allI wonder where you are tonight and do I ever cross your mind
[Repeat Chorus]
Well my momma won't stop cryingShe wonders what went wrongCould I have loved a little deeperOr did I hold on too strong
[Repeat Chorus]
