Random Thoughts
and
Loose Missions

here we are
what is left of a husband and a wife
two lost kids
who have a way
of gettin on with their lives

and i'm not old
but i'm gettin a whole lot older every day
it's too late to keep from going crazy
i've got to get away

the reasons that i can't stay don't have a thing to do with bein in love
i understand that loving a man shouldn't have to be this rough
and you ain't the only one who feels like this world left you far behind
i don't know why you've gotta be angry all the time

our boys are strong
the spittin image of you when you were young
i hope someday they can see past what you have become
and i remember every time i said i'd never leave
what i can't live with is memories of the way you used to be

the reasons that i can't stay don't have a thing to do with bein in love
i understand that loving a man shouldn't have to be this rough
and you ain't the only one who feels like this world left you far behind
i don't know why you've gotta be angry all the time

twenty years have came and went since i walked out of your door
i never quite made it back to the one i was before
and God it hurts me to think of you
before the light in your eyes was gone
sometimes i don't know why this old world can't leave well enough alone

the reasons that i can't stay don't have a thing to do with bein in love
i understand that loving a man shouldn't have to be this rough
and you ain't the only one who feels like this world left you far behind
i don't know why you've gotta be angry all the time
