Grace Potter & the Nocturnals - Left Behind lyrics

Well he's gone to find his way again He said he's lost his only friend He's got a jar of cash to spend He's running off just like he done before And he made a stop down the track He sold his favorite leather hat He told the man he won't be back And rounded out an old unsettled score But oh this 'ain't the first time that I've been left behind I'd cook his lunch and wash his clothes He'd tend the fence and shoot the crows And somewhere in there we got close They say a handy man is hard to find He bought the farm, I sold my car He left me with a silver scar He's colder then a steel guitar He always said he ain't the loving kind But I said oh this 'ain't the first time that I've been left behind Well some days I cry like a child Other days I ramble wild He's got me so goddamn beguiled And I don't even know his middle name And he's been lost and found before I've stopped waiting by the door But I still love him to the core I only wish that he could do the same But oh this 'ain't the first time that I've been left behind Well he don't call and he don't write He slips on in after midnight I never turn off my porch light He always finds his way back my place And I never ask him for a ring But he gave my this old song to sing And helped himself to everything And now I'm here without a speck of grace But ooh this 'ain't the first time that I've been left behind Left behind
