You Just Had to Be There

[Intro] This can't be what everybody's talking about [Verse 1] I thought it'd pass me by Out the window of a high-speed rail We were young as hell I'd chipped my teeth I'd pierced my veil And I found you And every fiber in my body found you too But what is love but something new God, it hurts to be true [Chorus] Oh It's a whole lot of memories from the back of the bus Oh Sorry, but I always thought a lot about us It's a whole lot of memories, I guess I could share But for most of them, you just had to be there [Verse 2] And sometimes I get the urge to call you up, say, "How you feeling? Is your father doing better? Did he ever fix the ceiling? Is your dog on the porch? We just lost mine So love what you love when you got time" If there's a picture in a frame and you find me If there's a song that you hear that's reminding If there's a time and a place, you know I'll be Waiting for you in the backseat [Chorus] Oh It's a whole lot of memories from the back of the bus Oh Sorry, but I always thought a lot about us It's a whole lot of memories, I guess I could share But for most of them you just had to be there [Bridge] You say, you say so You say, you say so You say, you say so I can't, I can't go You say, I say so You say, I say so I guess I can go I guess I You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you [Chorus] Oh It's a whole lot of memories from the back of the bus Oh Sorry, but I always thought a lot about us It's a whole lot of memories, I guess I could share But for most of them you just had to be there [Outro] You say, I say so You say, I say so I guess I can go You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you
