the way i was
I woke up on the wrong side of the railroad tracks Stumbled on last night The last train that ran from Georgia To the shores of California Has long been outta line And even though [?] And the darkness still stands still We run Dawn breaks and then it burns Cause in the morning I have learned Just what we've done Just what we've done When the whistle blows And the church bell tolls Please remember me that way I was When the crows fly south And the preacher shouts I hope you remember me The way I was The way I was I hope you remember me The way I was I lost myself to find my way Down this trail of tears It gets muddier each day I crossed that bridge when it came to it Now I barely recognize the stranger in my face The colder wind carries by And the memories we hold tight Start to burn Now I'm only afraid The last picture will fully fade fade Of how we were Of how we were When the whistle blows And the church bell tolls Please remember me that way I was When the crows fly south And the preacher shouts I hope you remember me The way I was The way I was I hope you remember me The way I was The colder wind carries by And the memories we hold tight Start to burn Now I'm only afraid The last picture will fully fade Of how we were Of how we were Of how we were When the whistle blows And the church bell tolls Please remember me that way I was When the crows fly south And the preacher shouts I hope you remember me The way I was The way I was I hope you remember me The way I was Please remember me Please remember me Please remember me the way I was
