You Were On My Mind | |
(by Terry Hollahan) | |
I took some time and made my way back to my home town I drove the streets where as a child I used to run around Saw the house where I was raised, trees that I once climbed I looked around and you were on my mind I drove past the school that tried to teach me right from wrong And later on the place where I tried so hard to belong I dropped into the grocery store I worked at for a time And everywhere you were on my mind I spent a lot of time just wishing I was someone else Went through a lot of people in the search to find myself I had my time of needing you, but there was nothing you could do I guess we just ran out of time I pulled into a vacant lot, stopped and parked the car Reached into the backseat and pulled out this old guitar As the sun was going down I sat and wrote these lines And through it all you were on my mind I spent a lot of time just wishing I was someone else Went through a lot of people in the search to find myself I had my time of needing you, but there was nothing you could do I guess we both ran out of time I pulled into the driveway late last night, slipped through the door And found my youngest child curled up and sleeping on the floor I picked him up and as his head fell gently into mine I looked at him and you were on my mind I looked at him and you were on my mind |
