Why do I
Keep driving across these
County lines
Knowing good and well
I can′t change her mind
And how do I
Sort through these emotions
Deep down inside
I feel a commotion
Rise up high
As I sit on this porch swing singin' prayers to the sky
Don′t wanna be the man she said she forgot
But I don't know why
Never once have I stared down the barrel of a gun
But my heart felt the pain as these strings came undone
And I don't know why
Wishing for a dream to come true
But I keep waking up
To a shadow of you
Around me everywhere I go
And hoping for a lifetime with you
Is like an open door
To a terrible view
It′s time
For me to move o-o-on
As I sit on this porch swing singin' prayers to the sky
I don′t wanna be the man she said she forgot
But I don't know why
Never once have I stared down the barrel of a gun
But my heart felt the pain as these strings came undone
And I don't know why I I I
Now that I have opened my heart
Changed my desire
I′m pressing restart
'Cause I know
Love just comes and goes
As I sit on this porch swing singin' prayers to the sky
I don′t wanna be the man she said she forgot
But I don't know why
Never once have I stared down the barrel of a gun
But my heart felt the pain as these strings came undone
And I just don't know why I I I I I
