From the day we met I was never the sameYou were the mascot at the football gameBig brown eyes in a wildcat suitHugging your knees outside the classroomFavorite child of a single motherLoved you more than a boyfriend, more than a brotherDraw yourself to church every SundayWe swore we'd make it out of this town one dayOne dayAnd I called you a sinnerAin't no sin biggerAnd there ain't one damn thing wrong with youFar as I can tellNo, there ain't no hell much worse than the one I put you throughI knew nothing about loveAnd I called you a sinnerWell, you carried your cards close to your vestAnd you buried your heart inside your chestYou hid it from the ones that loved you bestCause you knew none of us could pass that testThen I called you a sinnerAin't no sin biggerAnd there ain't one damn thing wrong with youAs far as I can tellNo, there ain't no hell much worse than the one we put you throughWhat were we so afraid of?Land ofHeavenWas I afraid of that word?Afraid of all that hurtAfraid of that phone call?Was I afraid I never knew it all?And I called you a sinnerAin't no sin biggerAnd there ain't one damn thing wrong with youWas I afraid of that word?I know I can't make amends, but believe me, I'm still your one friend.I know I owe you the truth, and I miss you so much.Linda.Linda.From the day we met, I was never the same.
