| Fell in love in high school
|
| With a brown haired, green eyed gir
|
| I walked her home most everyday
|
| Held her hand, I held the world
|
| We made our plan to run away
|
| I couldn’t wait to share her life
|
| We started countin down the days
|
| She couldn’t wait to be my wife
|
| I got a job and bought a car
|
| I turned 18 that spring
|
| By summer had my own place
|
| And I bought my baby’s ring
|
| Fell in with the wrong crowd
|
| Breakin laws, I broke her heart
|
| By autumn was in handcuffs
|
| Baby’s cryin out in her front yard
|
| And that’s what hurt the most
|
| I saw it in her green eyes
|
| She had seen a ghost
|
| My mama saw me every week
|
| Tried her hardest not to cry
|
| She told me that she loved me
|
| Disappointment in her eyes
|
| I said, «Mama, I love you too
|
| And I’m gonna make you proud one day»
|
| A month before I got out
|
| They told me mama passed away
|
| And that’s what hurt the most
|
| I saw it in her eyes, her son was a ghost
|
| I hate this life I chose
|
| Long before she died her son was a ghost
|
| Now I got my freedom
|
| But it feels like emptiness
|
| In front of the apartment
|
| Where your sister says you live
|
| And there’s another man, who fills my empty shoes
|
| And darlin you don’t see me
|
| But you know that I see you, I drift off…
|
| I’m gonna fade away
|
| Beyond the city lights
|
| I’m gonna fade away
|
| Through the emty night
|
| I’m gonna fade away
|
| Drifting out your life
|
| I wanna fade away
|
| Through the empty night |
