For Someone Special

Well, I thought you'd be back on the track

But I guess I was wrong, man

For the look in your eyes was the same

Empty high that you'd shown

As I ran down the road I'd forgotten this load was upon you

So the band packed its bags and played on, goodbye

It's been years since I cried

But this feeling inside really hurt me

And you know that we're loyal

Through the years of hard toil we stood by

But our licks' gotten better

I thought you could weather the good times

So I guess that it's hard to leave

Bad times and downers behind

So it came down to sayin'

You haven't been playin' for so long

That our heads caked with rust

And the dust of a million sad sighs

In the mornings I've tried

To reach down inside

And push that nightmare away

Now I'm glad that it's over, it's over

Now I can play
