Lyrics Montgomery Gentry

Montgomery Gentry

Didn't I

Didn't I make you proud?

Go and lay my life down when you called my name?

I thought I stood for somethin'

Was doin' the right thing when I went away

Now being back should be so simple

But I keep gettin' these mixed signals from everyone

Why do folks sit and judge me

Who aint seen what I've seen or did what I done?

(Chorus)

Didn't I burn?

Didn't I bleed enough for you?

I faced your fears,

Felt pain,

So you won't have to

Yeah didn't I do my best

And wasn't home here when I left?

I've seen boys fall to pieces

Grown men cry out for Jesus 'til they're black and blue

I thought God was on our side...

Weren't we supposed to be the good guys that would never lose?

'Cause I don't see no ticker tape

or five mile parade sayin' "thank you son"

Just folks that sit and judge me

Who aint seen what I've seen or did what I done

(Repeat Chorus)

Didn't I burn?

Didn't I bleed enough for you?

I faced your fears,

Felt pain,

So you won't have to

Yeah didn't I do my best

And wasn't home here when I left?
