Bradley Hathaway - Dakota lyrics

Dakota was a good girl From eastern Tennessee And she had a smile That nearly brought me to my knees. Her favorite thing to do Was to dance before the lord And pray in a tounge I never heard before. Oh we were different But we tried to make it work Oh but in the end We only ended up hurt Oh but things Could be different If things could be different. Because I don't wanna have to Hug another girl goodbye And I don't wanna have to ask Why oh why. See I am getting older And I found myself lonely And I began to wonder If love will ever hold me. Well I met April In the middle of December She was wearing a red coat If I do remember Her parents never liked me And they always told her It's a shame she never did Grow any bolder The sun was shining Into my kitchen She covered her face And began wishing Other things Could be different If things could be different Because I don't wanna have to Hug another girl goodbye And I don't wanna have to ask Why oh why. See I am getting older And I found myself lonely And I began to wonder If love will ever hold me. My momma told me That she loved me today And if I wanted to Come over and stay Sit on the back porch And drink sweet tea And talk about little more Sweet memories But I was born to travel So on I will travel But with every mile My heart seems to unravel All the things Could be different If things could be different. Because I don't wanna have to Hug another girl goodbye And I don't wanna have to ask Why oh why. See I am getting older And I found myself lonely And I began to wonder If love will ever hold me.
