Where I Have Been

Everybody says 'Hey, I'm gonna leave ya' Nobody says 'Hey, I'm gonna see ya around' They just run me out of town And nobody says 'Hey, it's good to meet ya' Nobody says "Hey, I'm gonna keep ya around' They just run me out of town And they try to throw me in with all the ugly things They try to bring me down And they'll try to take away my only happiness This love that I have found And nobody says 'Hey, what do you know' Nobody says 'Hey, so sad to see you go' They just send me down the road But nobody told me that life was easy Especially when everybody wants to see me go They just send me down the road And they'll try to tell you, girl, that I'm no good for you I shouldn't be your man And they'll try to take away our only happiness But they don't understand That I'd rather have you in my life In whatever way I can Even if it's just one summer night As we're walking hand in hand And I will hold you in my arms And I will hold you in the dark And I will hold you 'til the morning light When we sorrowfully depart And I don't know where I am going But I know where I have been And I will think of you and smile, my dear As I walk along this lonely land Everybody says 'Hey, I'm gonna leave ya' Nobody says 'Hey, I'm gonna see ya around' They just run me out of town And nobody says 'Hey, what do you know' Nobody says 'Hey, so sad to see you go' They just send me down the road And they'll try to tell you, girl, that I'm no good for you That I can't be your man And they'll try to take away our only happiness But they don't understand That I'd rather have you in my life In whatever way I can Even if it's just one summer night As we're walking hand in hand And I will hold you in my arms And I will hold you in my heart And I will hold you 'til the morning light When we tragically depart And I don't know where I am going But I know where I have been And I will think of you and smile, my dear As I walk along this lonely land
