Rodney Crowell - Why Don't We Talk About It lyrics

Once I had a woman with a high hand And I let her treat me mighty low man She made a lover of my best friend And now he treats me like a has been Yes, I've had my trouble with the world around me No, I didn't give it my best Now I get a chance to see some better weather If you want to stay forever Why don't we talk about it now Yes my reputation says I'm flaky Hey my whole situation's kinda shaky Some people 'round here think I've lost it They drew the line I stepped across it Yes, I've had my troubles in some certain circles No, I didn't bring it on myself Now I get a chance to know they'll eat their words And if you don't care what you've heard Why don't we talk about it now Sometimes I make it all up in my head There's a whole lot of things that should have never been said This new ground feels solid that I'm standing on I have done some things that might amaze you But then again most things don't even phase you You got a way of standing steadfast I've got a way of running dead last Yes, I've had my trouble trying to start over No, I didn't give it all I could Now I get a chance to know what love can heal And if you want to know the feeling Why don't we talk about it now If you want to know the feeling Why don't we talk about it now
