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
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
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
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
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
They just things baby
