I know I've disappeared a time or two Along the way I lost me and you I needed a new town for my new start I'm sellin' VCRs in Arkansas at a Walmart I haven't had a drink in 19 days My eyes are clear and bright with-out that haze I like the preacher from the Church of Christ I'm sorry that I cried when I talked to you last night I think I'm on a roll Here in Little Rock I'm solid as a stone Wait and see I got just one small problem Here in Little Rock Without you Baby I'm not me Without you Baby I'm not me I don't know why I held it all inside You must've thought I never even tried You know your daddy told me when I left Jesus would forgive, but a daddy don't forget Lyin' here upon this motel bed Thoughts of you explode within my head Like a castle built upon the sand I let love crumble in my hand
