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 eight years old 
 Now I'm in love with a girl that's wrong for me 
 Ask her, she will disagree 
 Her father was a small time man 
 With small time dreams and small time hands 
 But... 

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

 Easy enough to just look at her 
 Whole world on a silver platter 
 Was that that bad for me? 
 If I was there the scotch is free 
 Won round one, but its not over 
 He don't care cause he don't know her 
 [bad word] love is 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 dunno 
 Gone for good, in fact, but what does it mean? 
 Within a year they always sold and bought 

 If I was big 
 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 
 But later on lies to see 
 My past is gone, only from me 
 I'm alive 

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

 Remember when it was me 
 [bad word] down just for me 
 And then we'll try as we've been
