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.
I'm in love with a girl who's wrong for me; ask her, she will disagree.
Her father was a small town man with small town dreams
And small town hands but...

Oh, 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?
Year and 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 it's not over, he don't care 'cause he don't know her.
Too long, it's not the same, if I could lend a hand of shame but...

Oh, 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?
Year and 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.
Ya lie to me more than occasionally.
Don't lie to me. Ya 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?
Lonely as you and me.
I'm as high as I'll ever be.
Later on, last to see.
The past is gone only for me.
I'm alive.

Oh, 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?
Year and year, they always sold 'em but...

Remember when it was me?
Drivin', you could never see me.
We'll never try as we've been.
