It ain't you, it's me But it ain't you that's been going through hell It ain't you with a heart for sale It ain't you riding 'round this town With a ghost in the shotgun seat It ain't you that still misses it all You ain't the one that can't move on,

And it was all alright It goes when your gone Now it's all all wrong There's no good reason why I lay my heart on these tracks When your train comes along That's just a-how Then you cut me down

If we try, we can fly to a place in the sun All we need is precious dreams and a friend we can trust And we're never too far from tomorrow today And we're gonna send our message of love out ev'rywhere There's a promise of love tomorrow has Something

I'm going out of my mind, going out on a limb Going out on the town with all my friends I tried a new girl, new look, a new town I didn't get it when you said you'd always stick around You're out in a crown in the dark of the night Saying you'd never

I got some good friends that live down the street Got a good looking woman with her arms 'round me Here in a small town, where it feels like home It's the weight that you carry from the the things that you think you want I've got everything I need and
