Verse: you used to joke about how you were just a mess some days you'd stay at home getting drunk all by yourself and then we'd talk again for hours at a time you used to tell me you would leave us all behind if I asked you, would you tell me why you left me standing in the cold if I asked you, would you tell me why you've been on the run so long Verse: () always pictured you moving to the USA I remember when you told me how badly you needed a getaway well now you're gone, you're just not where I thought you'd be today it's raining, and I sure wish you were here Refrain: () if I asked you, would you tell me why you left me standing in the cold if I asked you, would you tell me why you've been on the run so long
