Lyrics
THE YEARS THAT I WASTED AND THE PLEASURES I TASTED, KNOWIN? DAMN WELL IT WAS WRONG. PROMISES BROKEN, HARSH WORDS WERE SPOKEN AND MISSIN? YOU WHILE I WAS GONE.
CONFUSIN? THE GOOD LIFE WITH WHISKY AND BRIGHT LIGHTS, MISTAKES , I MADE MORE THAN A FEW, BUT ONE DAY I KNOW THOUGH I SANK PRETTY LOW, I?D BE MAKIN MY WAY BACK TO YOU.
CHORUS: SOMEDAY ONCE MORE I?LL STAND AT YOUR DOOR, SAY I SURE MISSED YOU DARLIN? HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN?. HOLD ME AND FEEL ME, I KNOW YOUR LOVE CAN HEAL ME, HELP ME GET BACK TOGETHER AGAIN.
NOW THOSE YEARS THAT I WASTED AND THE PLEASURES I TASTED, SOMEHOW THEY DON?T MEAN A THING. NO MORE HARSH WORDS ARE SPOKEN, NO MORE PROMISES BROKEN, ALL BECAUSE OF A LITTLE GOLD RING.
KNOWIN? THE GOOD LIFE IS HAVIN? A GOOD WIFE, AND HAVIN? A PLACE TO CALL HOME. THE LOVE THAT I FEEL AND KNOWIN? IT?S REAL, AND NO LONGER NEEDIN? TO ROAM.
CHORUS: AND LIKE EACH DAY BEFORE I WALK THROUGH THE DOOR, SAY I SURE MISSED YOU DARLIN? HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN? SHE REACHED OUT AND TOUCHED ME, IT?S HER LOVE, IT MUST BE, SHE HELPED ME GET BACK TOGETHER AGAIN. SHE REACHED OUT AND TOUCHED ME, IT?S HER LOVE IT MUST BE, SHE HELPED ME GET BACK TOGETHER AGAIN.
