When I woke up this morning
The first thing that I heard
A song about a girl I knew, I'd written every word
And as I listen on and on
A chill ran through my spine
She meant so much to me back then
And now she's on my mind
It seems so long since I'd written that song
As I think back in time
Seems like years since yesterday
And now she's on my mind
The time we spent together
Seems so long ago
But work got scarce and times got hard
I'd have to hit the road
I hit that trail from town to town
Out on that lonesome road
When I got back my girl was gone
She couldn't stand the cold
That it seems so long since I've written that song
As I think back in time
Seems like years since yesterday
And now she's on my mind
Oh yeah...
And now that I've sold my songs
People know my name
Without that girl I wrote them for, my life is not the same
It seems so long since I've written that song
As I think back in time
Seems like years since yesterday
And now she's on my mind
It seems so long since I've written that song
As I think back in time
Seems like years since yesterday
And now she's on my mind
