BJ Barham - The Years Lyrics



BJ Barham - The Years Lyrics




My mother had a Mexican boyfriend
He stole her car once or twice before
He got busted at the Best Budget Inn
I found my way to the door
I couldn't take any more

Lived with my sister and her second husband
South of the river and off the grid
I went to work with my cousin
Just like the rest of us kids
I tried to keep it all hid

That seems so long ago
I swore I'd never let it show but I kinda did
The years can slip away
When you're tryin' to get away and I never did

I got tired of country livin'
And tryin' to make a new batch of friends
It's hard to give when there's no givin'
I stuck my thumb in the wind
Nothin' against my kin

I headed back to where I started
Pawned everything that I could pawn
I guess I thought they'd be open-hearted
They never knew I was gone
I just kept movin' along

That seems so long ago
I swore I'd never let it show but I kinda did
The years can slip away
When you're tryin' to get away and I never did

I work the day and the nightlife
I drill the bars and I drill the ground
One for pay one for the good times
One of ems still hanging round I put the other one down

That seems so long ago
I swore I'd never let it show but I kinda did
The years can slip away
When you're tryin' to get away and I finally did
