Back then I was changing like the weather,
Back when I let you kiss my lips and I let you see my tears
I sat down to write you this letter
Cause maybe you've been cryin' baby and I'm nowhere near
I went down to the south to escape the crowd
They all talk so loud, saying nothing at all
verse 2
The fever of youth it keeps the mind so clean
We get hungry, we get reckless, we get drunk on our thoughts
We see right and wrong and nothing in between
We borrow to buy what can never be bought
I went down to the south to escape the crowd
They all talk so loud, saying nothing at all, saying nothing at all.
Bridge
And a wildflower dies like a rose in a glass
But one bends back to earth and one's thrown in the trash
verse 3
I wrote you this letter I'm just tryin' to say
Once you said someday you might need me
Well if someday ever happened to be today
Just come on down here darling and see me
I went down to the south to escape the crowd
They all talk too loud, saying nothing at all
