I got a girl back in Fort Worth that means the world to me Her eyes are green, green as the emerald sea She left me not so long ago I headed down to Port Aransas for the Gulf Coast, baby Here I sit alone out on the sand Watchin' pieces of my life go through my hands Bein' out here is what I needed most I try like hell, but I can't escape your ghost Take me back to Donnelly Drive Back to a time when I was still alive Close my eyes, see it in my mind Take me back to Donnelly Drive I long to hold you, but I don't think that I can I sit and think of why I'm such a foolish man 'Cause losin' you is the worst thing that I've done Deep in my heart I know that you're the only one now Took a walk down the beach to clear my mind Wishin' someone would turn back the hands of time To when I held you, to when I felt so free I'm hopin' one day that you just might remember me Take me back to Donnelly Drive Back to a time when I was still alive Close my eyes, see it in my mind Take me back to Donnelly Drive I got a girl back in Fort Worth that means the world to me
