One Short Year Gone By

VERSE



Sailin' down my life so fast



And someone seen me zippin' past



And reachin' out they took my hand



And made a move to slow me



Speakin' words, an angel's voice



And I replied, "I got no choice



And you, you're from some other world



And babe, you just don't know me"







CHORUS



And it's one short year gone by



Sad, I've made her cry, sweet baby







VERSE



I never meant to play that part



I never meant to even start



I was thinkin' 'bout some plans I'd made



And there she was beside me



She looked up and then we kissed



And somethin' there said "don't resist"



And that was late that summer night



I don't know why she tried me







(REPEAT CHORUS)







BRIDGE



Darlin', your sweet touch



Well, I've never shared so much



Little baby, this life's on fire



It's burnin' and screaming higher







VERSE



Got to get some time alone



I'm just outside the danger zone



There's people all around me now



And I don't know what I'm thinkin'



I went down a ways from here



And kids were dancin', drinkin' beer



I was so much older there



My spirit started sinkin'







(REPEAT CHORUS)







VERSE



Tryna keep my life insane



And keep my mind inside the rain



And see the false securities



And understand the highway



Made a lotta stupid moves



I've always got some point to prove



I ain't exactly all that nice



I've got to do it my way







(REPEAT CHORUS)



(REPEAT BRIDGE)
