23 Years Ago

23 years ago
 A boy wrecked his life
 23 years ago
 On a warm Texas night
 Said not a word
 All night in the club
 'Til closing time
 As I was headed for the door
 Said, "You comin' or what?"
 You slipped your hand in mine
 Took me to your place
 I said, "I'm in love with somebody
 That I cannot place but that's the way it goes, honey"
 Between you and me and her, there's been many
 Many times our paths crossed, our paths stayed lost
 If anything, it's deeper and deeper and deep
 23 hours ago you called my phone
 You say "Get your ass down here so we can talk"
 23 years ago
 I would've run every mile
 But I called you in the morning
 Said, "Maybe this ain't the right thing to do"
 And I spend the afternoon in tears
 23 years ago
 A boy wrecked your life
 23 years ago
 On a hot Texas night
 Our paths cross again and again
 Sometimes five years in between... ten
 There's one thing that goes unsaid
 Now I'll say it out loud
 Maybe you were the one I should've holded on to
 Baby you was the one I should've held to
 I've been through hell too
 Ooo maybe, baby, baby
 23 years ago
 A boy wrecks his life
 23 years ago
 On a warm Texas night
 Interlude #1
 No jingle in his pockets
 (?) in the wall
 Father went to end
 Knockin' on heaven's door
 Fell in love with a dyke
 Married a friend
 Spent half his life wondering if it would end... it would end
