Song Lyrics

Luck found me too late
To be what I could use
And caught me tempting fate
Still red handed and confused

Pride has sent me where
There's not much left to lose
Then cruelly let me care
And convinced me I could choose

[Chorus]
About you
As if there was one small chance
to be through
With everything I can't

So even if this worn-out heart was new
And all it's foolish hopes were true
This one lifetime just won't do
'Cause I cried enough tears for two

Dreamin' only served
To take my restless sleep
Steeling comfort from these eyes
So desperate for relief

Fueled by empty promises
They never meant to keep
Leaving me with nothing more
Than endless years to weep

[Chorus]

Dwight David Yoakam, Mary Holladay (holly) Lamar
