Well, I'm two-doors-down in an old, ransacked apartment with a Guitar and some crown just trying to make my next pay And you're new to town, yeah, you came down from the mountains And you know no one around so you stick to yourself When we first locked eyes, you were sitting on the front porch, but I Fled back inside 'cause I didn't know what I felt My foolish pride always seems to get me running, but I'm I'm not the man I was a hundred sunsets before And I know further down the road You'll take my hand and save my weary soul And I know when the days get cold You'll be the one I have to hold If I found the nerve, would you sit and stare right through me Or would we talk for hours at least until the night did fall? When you see my face, does it flood your brain with memories Or when you look at me, do you see the man I despise? As the spotlight shines down on the days with no heat I think through your eyes that I finally found my peace I feel someday soon that I'll break the cage that holds me 'Cause I'm not the man I was when you walked through that door And I know further down the road You'll take my hand and save my weary soul And I know when the days get cold You'll be the one I have to hold And I know further down the road You'll take my hand and save my weary soul And I know when the days get cold You'll be the one I have to hold
