lyrics

Boy, don't you look at me like that
we both know she's not coming back
no matter what we do or say
I tried, heaven knows I really tried
there were things I had to hide
that never really went away

(chorus)
well I did my best, but I still did wrong
and I should have guessed that you knew all along
so I tied myself all around your legs
so you'll never forget my name

we set out with a map and a flag
with a gun and a rag
with ambitions and dreams
we cam home soaked in whiskey and sweat
trying hard to forget
all the wonders we'd seen

(chorus)
well I did my best, but I still did wrong
and I should have guessed that they knew all along
so I left that night and I hid my face
but they'll never forget my name

boy, don't you look at me like that
we both know she's not coming back
no matter what we do or say
I tried, heaven knows I really tried
there were things I had to hide
that never really went away

(chorus)
and I'll roll them dice no matter the stakes
I will always do whatever it takes
and I swear to you on my mother's grave
I will never forget your name

He specializes in sad songs and mean songs, and considers his catalogue to be “music for people that like to read.” ... more
