I came back on the trail of a man Things are the same as when i left Well, i so wanted to say hey But i know you think my sentence was too light Now, time should have put this behind us Some things i won't soon forget Bride & bridle are too close in a man's mind And i know you think my sentence was too light You, you weren't true But i can't blame a woman who changes Three thousand, six hundred, and fifty-odd days i waited Time, i did my time Now i long since quit feeling my hands Still, three men have a date with me I could have found them all before now And i know they think my sentence was too light Your father bet ten years against this day He wed his girl to a better man But he stands here now with his hat in his hands And i know he thinks my sentence was too light
