♪ I tried going through the window last night ♪
But the door was locked when I tried to get in
Lying on my back I felt like a kid again
When I looked in those big brown eyes I knew what you were gonna say
Should've stayed in the county anyway
Think of all those times I listened to those white lies
Some at another town, some at another guy
Maybe I'm the one they don't understand
My friend,
just a bluegrass picker Trying to make it with his hometown band
Wasn't good enough for him
This summer they told me you were leaving
I hear that you're gonna be beachbound
This country boy's gotta stay on higher ground
There ain't much to do in this town
Except work your ass off all day And
after work we burn our cares away
Think of all those times I listened to those white lies
Some at another town, some at another guy
Maybe you're the one they don't understand
My friend,
just a bluegrass picker Trying to make it with his hometown band
Not good enough for Lien
When you're in the lowlands will you remember me?
And how those old days used to be?
One day your sun might shine again In the end
Well I've always been a loser but now I finally
got a plan It wasn't good enough for Lien
I
tried going through the window last night But
the door was locked when I tried to get in
Lying on my back I felt like a fool again
Was a fool for Lien
