Pawlo-X - She’s Been On My Mind Lyrics

Ever since I was just a boy, there's always been one thing
I couldn't shake.... A woman in my mind
Not one in particular-just the idea of her, like a dream
I've been chasing all my life
When I was a boy, I'd sit by the creek
Whittlin' wood, lost in daydreams so deep
I'd see her there with a sunlit smile
Dancin' through my thoughts, stayin' a while
Mama would laugh, say, "Son, you're too young
To be thinkin' 'bout love when your life's just begun
But I couldn't help it, she's always been there
A ghost in my mind, with the wind in her hair
She's been on my mind since I was knee-high
A shadow of love, like the Tennessee sky
In every slow song, in every sunrise
She's been on my mind, she's been on my mind
High school came, and the world got fast
But my heart stayed steady, it knew what would last
I dated a few, but they weren't quite her
Just a flicker of somethin', never a burn
I'd drive my old Chevy down dusty back roads
Thinkin' 'bout the one who'd call this heart home
Though I'd never met her, I felt her so real
Like a promise in the stars, like a fate I could feel
She's been on my mind since I was knee-high
A shadow of love, like the Tennessee sky
In every slow song, in every sunrise
She's been on my mind, she's been on my mind
Now here I am, a man grown and wise
Still chasin' her shadow through these southern skies
Maybe she's out there, or maybe she's not
But the dream of her is the best thing I've got
She's been on my mind since I was knee-high
A shadow of love, like the Tennessee sky
In every slow song, in every sunrise
She's been on my mind, she's been on my mind
And if I never find her, that's alright too
'Cause she's been my companion my whole life through
She's the dream I carry, the love I define
She's been on my mind... she's been on my mind
