And I walked along and I hum a song With my barrel down in the early dawn And I flushed a hare and my primer flared And it got away and I shed a tear Cause you left the same and I'm to blame And we may never love again And I'm cleaning up that busted truck I'd keep it but I need a buck And I reach beneath the driver seat And I found the card you made for me And I never knew how pure and cruel pain could feel 'til I lost you And I've dug some graves And I've laid with shame And I've cringed when folks have called my name And who I am ain't who I been I ran away when I could stand And I'm never fine And hope is blind And you're still keeping me alive
