[Verse]
G D
Went out the door, into the morning darkness
Bm A G
gravel underfoot, heard the screen door gently close
D
I slid across the seat, the steering wheel was cold
Bm A G
tiny icicles on the glass in the corner of the windows
D
The desert air was dry, they were melted in the instant
Bm A G
I pulled on to the highway, and I began to cry
D
I was leaving her behind, it was really for the best
Bm A G
I had something deep inside, boundless anger without reason
[Chorus]
G D
Yeah, we all got someone we left behind
A Bm
'cause we're just weren’t right in our hearts and our minds
G D A
Yeah, we all got someone we were lucky to find in the first place
G D
Yeah, we all got someone we never treated right
A Bm
We were selfish and drinking, staying out all night
G D A D
Yeah, we all got someone we were lucky to find in the first place
[Verse]
G D
When she awakes, I hope that she's not sad
Bm A G
I loved her from the first time I laid my eyes upon her
D
We got a little house, drove a truck, played in a band
Bm A G
got some Mexican chickens, and we raised them on our land
D
Talked of having little girls, they’d have their mother's little curls
Bm A G
it was more than a dream, yeah, one day they'd be real
D
I played out on the road, at first she came along,
B Am G
sang the harmonies, mixed the sound, sold the albums and the singles
D
I hung out in the bar, drinking until the closing time
Bm A G
I was foolish, I was selfish, I'd find her sleeping in the car
[Chorus]
G D
Yeah we all got someone we left behind
A Bm
'cause we're just weren’t right in our hearts and our minds
G D A
Yeah we all got someone we were lucky to find in the first place
G D
Yeah we all got someone we never treated right
A Bm
We were selfish and drinking, staying out all night
G D A D
Yeah we all got someone we were lucky to find in the first place
[Verse]
G D
She went back to our house, to feed and raise the animals
Bm A G
we slowly grew apart, as I was growing meaner
D
I drank when I got up, cause the motel room was hot
Bm A G
or something stupid I had done, I was lonely for my girl
D
there was always someone else and then there was another
Bm A G
I could barely stand myself, I was stoned all the time
D
when I finally came back home, she said something changed inside you
Bm A G
I smashed a glass against the wall, went walking in the desert
D
When I come on back, she was sleeping peacefully
Bm A G
I knew that she was better, better off without me
D
The little girls were there, I saw their faces in her hair
Bm A G
but now it was clear, I would never be their father
D
Put on my coat and hat, slid the deadbolt in the hasp
Bm A G
took one last look back at her, I stepped across the threshold.
