[ Featuring All His Friends ]
Glory days of sixteen huntin' love in the dark
Don't know the half of half of who you are
Holdin' sweaty palms in dim basements
On some old dusty couch that's where the trouble begins
Nancy lived round the corner in my hometown
Never seen her before, but didn't mind her around
Long nights on the phone, couldn't put it down
Ain't have nothing to say but I sure loved the sound
But I've been runnin' all my life
And I've been hurtin' all the time
Cause I've been searchin' for that woman
That I used to know
So that's why
Her laugh, her smile, and simpler times
Got me thinkin' on her
In my mind, in my mind
I'd come pick you up and take you out
With the minimum wage pay I'm making now
Diner cups of coffee and disco fries
Across the booth, through the smoke, were them burnin' green eyes
Im 18 now I gotta hit the road
To earn me some pay so I can buy us a home
I'll be faithful, I'll be true
Never had no intention of lying to you
But I've been runnin' all my life
And I've been hurtin' all the time
Cause I've been searchin' for that woman
That I used to know
So that's why
Her laugh, her smile, and simpler times
Got me thinkin' on her
In my mind, in my mind
Distance made my heart grow fond
Of booze, fast women, and roadside haunts
Fed up were done, you said it's through
You gave me a lot what had I gave to you
Nancy's goin' on to have a baby
I don't know who her man is but I know it ain't me
Tied off on a shotgun and wedding bells
Flyin' doves in me dyin' but I wish you well
But I've been runnin' all my life
And I've been hurtin' all the time
Cause I've been searchin' for that woman
That I used to know
So that's why
Her laugh, her smile, and simpler times
Got me thinkin' on her
In my mind, in my mind
Her laugh, her smile, and simpler times
Got me thinkin' on her
In my mind, in my mind
Got me thinkin' on her
In my mind, in my mind
