Only a Child

I was just a baby

I was only a child

And you were just a lover

And you were driving my wild now and ya gone

And I was up in heaven

I was high on the clouds

Mama, let me down easy

Baby, don't let me down

Mama, let me down easy

Baby, don't let me down

And I was just a dreamer

You were only a dream

I woke up in the morning

I just laid there and screamed, Lord, that ya gone

And I was on the highway

Eating bad gasoline

Mama, let me down easy

Baby, don't make a scene

Mama, let me down easy

Baby, don't make a scene

I was just a man

Planting cotton for my granddad

Wake up early in the morning

Drive the tractor through the night

I saved my money

I'm gonna buy you a diamond for ya finger

Have some babies, start a family

Have a wedding, do it right

I saw her little pickup parked

Down by the tavern off the highway

Saw her kissing on a fella

From Amarillo tending bar

I started crying, started drinking

When I woke up I saw the TV

The bartender killed her daddy

Laid his body by the barn

Oooooo
