Baby here it is 3 o’clock in the morning Thoughts of you are like a thief coming without warning I’ve just been trying to get on with my life Thought I left you so far behind Chorus: you won’t leave me be haunt every one of dreams Baby what can I do I still love you, still love you I don’ know why I should even care The way you treated me all I did was just try to be there I don’t guess it would make much of a difference now If you knew after all that I still want, you anyhow Chorus Bridge: Thought all these years would dry up these tears Time don’t heal all wounds I guess I’ll always love you Chorus

There was a time the sun rose in her eyes Tears like morning dew They would dry into a smile Giving way to a better view And hid the secrets only she knew Chorus: She was a goodbye woman She was a goodbye woman She was a goodbye woman, has no handle to hold There is a fire that runs so hot and wild It scorches and scars the soul It is a blaze which cannot be contained No matter how much you hope It is bound to burn out of control Chorus Bridge: The rhyme within reason reveals reticent demons From an empty path Because the trap of temptation when disguised as salvation Makes it hard to find a way back Chorus
3.
Tell you where I’m from with words laced in pride It’s where the earth reaches up to touch the sky Mountains that stay strong steady and true Are the foundation on which I grew When you’re young you don’t think they have much to teach Their valleys and towns are no place to spread your wings I left there in a pile of rust Watched them in my rear view disappear in the dust Years lying in wake reveal reasons to reminisce So many shades of green in the arms of those rolling hills Held sweet summers born out of winters surrender to spring When they were losing that grip God would slowly paint the trees Shadows spread like a blanket across the grass Cutting through the hollers a train running over tracks In remembrance their rivers and ridges talk to me And want to know why did I ever leave? Out here on the run never really knowing what for Further along I get I feel those highlands pulling more Thinking back on the lessons they taught What I didn’t understand then now shapes my every thought My heart belongs to those people and that land They will always be the foundation on which I stand Tell you where I’m from with words full of pride It’s where the earth reaches up to touch the sky

I recall when I first Heard the melody in your verse My heartbeat a phrase harmonized Each song from every stage In time has to fade And the memory is what’s left behind Chorus: Goodbye it’s your curtain call Play just one more song With the lights dim the crowd now gone I wish I could hear one more song I loved through the years Each chorus every bridge Though some were played out of time I wouldn’t want to change One note or refrain Rhythm that’s written lyrics of my life Chorus Bridge: A masterpiece you penned I’m not ready for the music to end Chorus
5.
Here I stand at the foot of a burned down bridge Trying to build it back brick by brick No matter the time and whatever the cost I got to find my back across- To You Each new section presents a case For what it wants to give and has to take I become mindful of every step Carrying the words that need to be said- To you Built to withstand the weight when trust is forged in faith And is uncompromised should waters rise I made sure each piece was carefully placed To weather any storm and still remain Never again will it come down As I stand here this I vow – To you
