Lyrics Drive-By Truckers

Drive-By Truckers

Sounds Better In The Song

When I saw her standing there

With her bright eyes and shining hair

She was looking back at me

Some are meant to sing

Some are meant to talk

And some aren?t meant to say a thing

When she opened up her mouth

And that sweet voice came out

I lost track of my own name

Now she?s found herself and I lost mine

And I?m just another guy

Who can?t give her anything

Well the drifter, he holds on to his youth

Just like it was money in the bank

And Lord knows I can?t change sounds better in the song

Than it does with hell to pay

I might as well of slipped

That ring on your finger

From a window of a van s it drove away

Now she?s found herself and I lost mine

And I?m just another guy

Who can?t give her anything

Dreams are given to you

When you?re young enough to dream them

Before they can do you any harm

They don?t start to hurt

Until you try to hold on to them

After seeing how they really are

She used to dream them with me

Every single crazy one

Until they started hurting her too

Now she?s got some of her own

And outgrowing me

Might be the best thing for her she?s ever done

A light that shines as bright as hers

Can?t be kept in the shadows for too long

A heart that wants to live and a soul that wants to give

Can?t just sit at home alone

Lord, she gave me everything and never wanted anything

I couldn?t give just what was inside of me

Now she?s found herself and I lost mine

And I?m just another guy

Who can?t give her anything

Now she?s found herself and I lost mine

And I?m just another guy

Who can?t give her anything
