Never Could

Hey, it's good to see you, baby
How long has it been?
It always feels like yesterday
When I come walkin' in
There you are behind the bar
Servin' drinks and smilin' with your eyes
When you notice me

I feel that old familiar fire
Burnin' way down inside
Last night, I heard the roadhouse blues on my radio
I thought about that night in my place under candle glow
A bottle of wine lost track of time
Somehow we both wound up on the floor
And I was into wine and passion
But you were into finding, somethin' more

You were always searchin'
For the man, I'm never gonna be
That was always chasing down the highway
That led in front of me
I hear you got a new man now and, I hope he treats you good
I hope he's doing for you all them little things, that I never could

Sometimes reality don't live up to my dreams
This gypsy life of open roads
Ain't as easy as it seems
So now and then I'm back again
Wonderin', if I ever should have gone
But the choices that we make in life
We gotta live with
Whether they're right or wrong

You're always searchin'
For the man I'm never gonna be
That was always chasin' the highway
That led in front of me
Well, I hear you got a new man now and, I hope he treats you good
Hope he's done for you, all them little things, that I never could

No matter how hard I try
It won't be long
Before I'm sayin' goodbye
