Song Lyrics - I Still Think Of You
It was the same old question
What was I doing here?
Even though it was my choice
Something besides love drew me near
It was about trying to settle down
I discarded the card that loved me
I met someone new and we started right away
I told my ex and all she could say was, "Lovely"
I still had that crazy streak
I was always kind of wild
We went out and I ordered her a drink
She wanted a coke and said, "I was born to be mild"
Yes she did
That's what she said
I thought it was funny
But it stayed in my head
I met her folks outside the church
They were believers and invited me to their table
While they all bowed their heads to pray
I knew that I would be unable
She still lived at home with mom and dad
She was beautiful and somehow fell for me
But it didn't take long to find out
All she really wanted was to be free
In six weeks we were engaged
Her Mom said, "You're so young"
But she told her, "You were young too"
And Mom realized the bell had been rung
Yes they did
That's what they said
It wasn't funny
But it stayed in their head
In less than a year the walls closed in
And the barbed wire fence was built
We had no business getting married
I knew one of us was going to live with the guilt
One night we decided to go out
We were alone even though we sat together
The guitar player sang about true love
But my voice turned her heart's lace to leather
You know she left me for another man
She yelled, "I'm sorry I ever met you!"
I said, "That goes for me too!"
She left and I wondered if that was true
Yes we did
That's what we said
It wasn't funny
And it stayed in my head
The man I let live is no longer around
She left him too as she struggled with life
I talked to her a few times
But she said, "Now I'm someone else's wife"
She told me she was the girl she used to be
The problem was she couldn't be that way with me
I told her it was something that I couldn't figure out
But I hold no grudge so I hope she lives happily
She was once my wife and she cried at the altar
Her Daddy cried too when I told him goodbye
Twenty years later I know I can't fault her
He said, "I'm sorry" but I told him don't ask her why
Yes we did
That's what we said
It wasn't funny
But it stayed in our head
He was old school and didn't understand a broken vow
I said a piece of paper doesn't show you how
To love each other your whole life through
It was over long before the words "I do"
