steve jones - my sweetheart

My Sweetheart
My sweetheart married me, we were teens
We had a love like in movies and dreams
The years went by and she got bored
She ran away with the girl next door
Chorus
I stand outside, stare at the sky
Where should I be and when and why
Here comes the future, steady moving train
Start waving goodbye it’s leaving again
My favorite band, I got every cd
They tour now and then but not by me
The singer died and the band fell apart
I never did see them and it breaks my heart
Chorus
My friend went to war, he was a kid
He followed the footsteps, what daddy did
He went around the world, came back half a man
He don’t talk about it, I don’t think he can
Chorus
My memories are tattered and torn
I’m carrying stones from the day I was born
I got some bad mixed in with the good
I would let it go if I only could
Chorus
