I swore! Before my Gods! An oath! Once sealed in blood It's five years since I left this land Since I left my friends to burn Fice years making bitter plans Preparing my return All this time my hatred's grown The one thing on my mind The hate in me is

Last Christmas I gave you my heart But the very next day you gave it away This year to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special Once bitten and twice shy I keep my distance but you still catch my eye Tell me baby do you recognize me? Well it's

Quarter notes and Hank's half time Are poundin' on this heart of mine Song to song, I pass my time With these speakers on ten Your good and gone keeps me up all night Along with Songs In The Key Of Life I'm either gonna get over you Or I'm gonna blow out

Been away a year today To wander and roam I don't care it's muddy there But this is my home Got my toes turned Dixie way 'Round the delta let me lay Dixie moonlight Swanee shore Headed homebound just once more To my Mississippi delta home

That God blessed the broken road That led me straight to you Pointing me on my way into your loving arms This much I know is true I set out on a narrow way many years ago Hoping I would find true love along the broken road But I got lost a time or two

Can you imagine? Before we go Picture years, with your mom Hang her picture in the sky Call emergency I've been dreamin' all my life Yo Doc what up my nigga Snoop Dogg, it is what it is This record is so motherfuckin' gangsta man And I think it's time

Now it's the last (thing left on my mind) Afraid of the dark (do you hear me whisper) An empty heart (replaced with paranoia) Where do we go (life's temporary) After we're gone (like new years resolutions) Why is this hard (do you recognize me) I know

I'm quickly fallin' and it feels natural I can't predict my fate but I can't be his no more I haven't felt this type of thing in a while I thought I lost myself in love until I found you Ooh, two years enough, few days but my week with you means more,

When are you coming home, my love? Well I've been alone far too long 'Cause this heavy heart, oh, how it's yearned 'Cause I've been alone far too long I miss you more than you could know I watch the grass on the back lawn grow And I will not allow winds

You say you never saw this comin', well you're not alone Million dollar renovations to a happy home My ex says she gave me the best years of her life I saw a recent picture of her, I guess she was right I wake up, assessin' the damages Checkin'
