Текст пісні
I met a woman, tenderfoot woman Who wanted to run away with me
Get married, we didn't know what we were getting into
Oh no, we didn't know the tragic that would happen
Oh no, we were two strangers, two fools
Trying to run from different obligations
But we made a choice and became man and wife
And I swear that I was a broken man long before we met
And I wasn't thinking straight, son
I'm sorry I prayed for the day you could understand
That I did the best I can
Should've been there but my time ran out
Loved your mother but I didn't know how
You may not wanna listen to me right now
But you make me so damn proud
Bar after bar, drink after drink
Substance in my system, I brought it home with me
Mama couldn't find me, no matter where she looked
They said true love, if you let them go
They'd come back to you
And I did not return
What does that make me
I didn't mean to hurt anyone
Oh, oh no, no
I love your mama, I love you too
I just couldn't pull me through
I'm sorry I pray for the day you could understand
That I did the best I can
Should've been there but my time ran out
Loved your mother but I didn't know how
You may not wanna listen to me right now
But you make me so damn proud, Son
I'm sorry I prayed for the day you could understand
That I did the best I can
Should've been there but my time ran out
Loved your mother but I didn't know how
You may not wanna listen to me right now
But you make me so damn proud
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
