Time, time ain't never healed the wound Can't think of anything that gets Any better 'cause it's old
Change, change would prob'ly do me good Wouldn't prob'ly hurt a thing Anyway, that's what I'm told
I would have run, but I couldn't run Would have flown, but I couldn't fly I woulda headed right back into town I woulda lied, but I couldn't lie 'Cause I knew
Stop, stop and take a better look There ain't no telling what you'll find In the corner of a darkened room
Things, things that either one time fell Or blew down from a windowsill Or never got up by the broom
I would have run, but I couldn't run Would have flown, but I couldn't fly I woulda headed right back into town I woulda lied, but I couldn't lie 'Cause I knew
No two ways about it, it's a doggone shame Baby, it's a doggone shame
I would have run, but I couldn't run Would have flown, but I couldn't fly I woulda headed right back into town I woulda lied, but I couldn't lie 'Cause I knew
