fiogf49gjkf0d My granpa said take this coin,
Now ain't that enough?
N' I'd rub it on the gatepost,
Knock it outa shape,
Justa make it rough,
My heart could never be still,
While the moon looked on,
Now it never will,
N' he's forever gone.
My teacher said take this route,
Now ain't that enough?
N' I'd be always late most,
S' so hard to git up,
My bones could never try,
While the sun looked on,
No I could never try,
N' she's forever young.
CHORUS
I've always been a mixed up hard up kid,
N' always feelin' sorry for the things I did,
Knowin' I could never make the good Lord proud,
N' that's what yah git when your heart's too loud.
My mother said take it all away,
Now ain't that enough?
N' I'd be back justa do it all again,
No it never was enough,
My dreams could never see,
While my eyes were young,
Now they'll never let me be,
I've come n' gone...
CHORUS
My brother said good luck my girl,
Now ain't that enough?
N' I'd be at the gatepost,
Watchin' in the lane,
Justa catch him up,
My heart could never be still,
While the moon looked on,
Now it never will,
N' he's forever gone.
