Blitzen Trapper - Ever Loved Once lyrics

It was just as I was leaving Throw some change up on the bomb She aught my eye through the swinging door She was standing out by my car I said I thought you moved to the city girl No one never did find the time I've been wasting away, at my sister's place Just North of the county line Well I gazed out across the gravel line To the road that leads to town Thinking all the ways that I broke your heart Yeah, thinking how it all went down And I'm saying it's a strange thing to see you now I've been running so long on the same old ground Gonna rattle these chains till the morning light If I ever loved once, you know I never loved right by you So we go up to the turn-pipe Where the whole world turns to sky I took her hand, but she drew away Like a bird getting ready to fly She said I ain't so young, and I met someone He's a rock that just won't roll And I gotta find out, if I only love once So does love keep coming to call Cause it's a strange thing to see you now I've been running so long on the same old ground Gonna rattle these chains till the morning light If I ever loved once, you know I never loved right by you There's a half built house in the potter's field All the timbers are turned to gray There's an old brown dog living on the porch I seen them just the other day Well I laid those planks, and I drove those nails But it never did satisfy him And a man must forfeit all he owns For a glimpse at the reason why It's a strange thing to see you now I've been running so long on the same old ground Gonna rattle these chains till the morning light If I ever loved once, you know I never loved right It's a strange thing to see you here If the world don't mine, yeah you better leave the keys Gonna rattle these chains till the morning light If I ever loved once, you know I never loved right
