Intro: - - - -
Verse 1:
It was 1985
When your son and I drove by
And saw you standing there
Outside the liquor store
With a bottle in your hand
Living the life you chose
Pre-Chorus:
I always wondered why
We just drove on by
I never saw you again
Chorus:
You never tried to be a better man
You chose to run instead
All of the guilt you carried
Was written on your face
I never knew the day you died
Would take it all away
Verse 2:
Soon his mother died
And all the locked up pain inside
Began to rear its head
And all the memories
Like some old bad disease
Was finally put to bed
Pre-Chorus:
I always wondered why
We just drove on by
But now I understand
(Chorus)
