Things People Say lyrics

There I was at the bus stop beggin' you just to stay

Can we work this out, baby we can work this out

A dust trail from a Greyhound headed for the West Coast

As I watch you leave, it's gettin' hard to breathe

No this ain't how it was suppose to be

While you're out chasin' all your dreams

Tell me where does that leave me

[Chorus]

What about the plans that you left behind

The little white house by the railway line

The one we picked out

We even put the payment down

What about the promise that you made

To stay with me till your dying day

Said you'd never go away

Are they just things that people say

The preacher stopped by the house last Tuesday

Asked if I was fine

We sat and talked a while

He tried to make me smile

But it's so hard to show my face round lately

In this small town

I guess they heard the news

'Bout me and you

It's three a.m. and I can't sleep at all

I wonder where you are tonight and do I ever cross your mind

[Repeat Chorus]

Well my momma won't stop crying

She wonders what went wrong

Could I have loved a little deeper

Or did I hold on too strong

[Repeat Chorus]
