23 Years Ago

23 years ago A boy wrecked his life 23 years ago On a warm Texas night Said not a word All night in the club 'Til closing time As I was headed for the door Said, "You comin' or what?" You slipped your hand in mine Took me to your place I said, "I'm in love with somebody That I cannot place but that's the way it goes, honey" Between you and me and her, there's been many Many times our paths crossed, our paths stayed lost If anything, it's deeper and deeper and deep 23 hours ago you called my phone You say "Get your ass down here so we can talk" 23 years ago I would've run every mile But I called you in the morning Said, "Maybe this ain't the right thing to do" And I spend the afternoon in tears 23 years ago A boy wrecked your life 23 years ago On a hot Texas night Our paths cross again and again Sometimes five years in between...ten There's one thing that goes unsaid Now I'll say it out loud Maybe you were the one I should've holded on to Baby you was the one I should've held to I've been through hell too Ooo maybe, baby, baby 23 years ago A boy wrecks his life 23 years ago On a warm Texas night Interlude #1 No jingle in his pockets (?) in the wall Father went to end Knockin' on heaven's door Fell in love with a dyke Married a friend Spent half his life wondering if it would end....it would end
