Russ Tolman - Galveston Mud Lyrics

Now i can remember like it was only yesterday
Love was young and foolish like a little child at play
But oh how lovers change - i never dreamed how easily
'cause now i'm just a shadow of the boy i used to be

and when i write the book about my love
it will be about a man who's torn in half
about his hopes and ambitions wasted through the years
the pain will be written on every page in tears
when i write the book about my love

I was a fool to myself when i kept on runnin' around
And i fared little better when i tried settlin' down
Maybe some magic moment - i've never known one, not for long
For all too soon the magic is in a moment gone

and when i write the book about my love
it'll be a heartbreaking story about love and luck
when i get down on the pages all i felt
it will make the hardest-hearted of critics' hearts melt
when i write the book about my love

When i was young love was fun and i was so happy - i looked so good and i dressed so snappy
Two-tone shoes on my feet big old smile on my face - as i moved and grooved all over the place
Now i'm down in the heels my complexion is bad
'cause my love life is sadder than sad

and when i write the book about my love
it'll be a pop publication, tougher than tough
when i get down on the pages all i missed
it will shoot to the top of the best-sellers list
when i write the book about my love
