We've been married many years Some of your words have cut me to the bone Although we are together In my mind, I'm all alone We had to marry young Two children thrown into the world You, an eighteen year old country boy Me, a fourteen year old Kentucky girl We had a little baby girl So I dropped outta school You started driving a truck, hauling coal Because that's the only life you knew Lately, I've been talking with the back of your head Instead of talking to your face Making me feel like maybe We should go our seperate ways Work has taken you away From your Kentucky mountain home I didn't know how to appreciate you Until you were already gone What I didn't know Was that you were feeling the same way We were growing apart With every passing day Mouths to feed and bills to pay Will make you grow apart We were neglecting each other Now it's time we made a new start Our kids are growing up And all that will be left is you and me Until death do us part Is how it's meant to be Lets start working together Instead of trying to compete Until you are in our bed again My life feels incomplete I am counting down the days That you safely make it home It took us being apart To realize that we were together, alone Don't take each other for granted Try to keep your marriage strong Or you'll push each other away And end up togther alone, too long |
