Lyrics

I knew a girl now she was long and tall
Slept in the kitchen with her feet out in the hall
She never did too much talking, always thought that was my fault
Looking back that must have been something crazy I was taught
Well I ain’t spoken to her here in quite some time
And the years just pass on by like that scenery outside
But I can’t buy back them things I left behind
I knew a man now who taught me a few songs
In the porch light he would sing and then he would nod off
And I still sing them songs now that I was taught
And it creeps just like some criminal now back into my thoughts
He used to write me letters now when he was feeling clean
Till he slipped into a darkness never to be retrieved
Well now I can’t buy back them things I left behind
No, now I can’t buy back them things I left behind
I always have been the quick at leaving kind
I never was the sort now to be left behind
I could pack up everything that I thought was mine
And be gone before the ink upon that letterhead dried
Seen my pockets full of holes I seen my pockets full of gold
I got some beautiful possessions living in pawnshop windows
But I can’t buy back them things I left behind
No, now I can’t buy back them things I left behind
