Things People Say

There I was at the bus stop beggin' you just to stay
 Can we work this out, baby, we can work this out
 A dust trail from a Greyhound headed for the West Coast
 As I watch you leave, it's gettin' hard to breathe
 No, this ain't how it was suppose to be
 While you're out chasin' all your dreams
 Tell me where does that leave me?
 What about the plans that you left behind?
 The little white house by the railway line
 The one we picked out
 We even put the payment down
 What about the promise that you made
 To stay with me 'til your dying day?
 You said you'd never go away
 Are they just things that people say?
 Are they just things, baby?
 The preacher stopped by the house last Tuesday
 Asked if I was fine
 We sat and talked a while
 He tried to make me smile
 But it's so hard to show my face round lately
 In this small town
 I guess they heard the news
 'About me and you
 It's 3 a.m., and I can't sleep at all
 I wonder where you are tonight, and do I ever cross your mind?
 What about the plans that you left behind?
 The little white house by the railway line
 The one we picked out
 We even put the payment down
 What about the promise that you made
 To stay with me 'til your dying day?
 You said you'd never go away
 Are they just things that people say
 Well, my momma won't stop crying
 She wonders what went wrong
 Could I have loved a little deeper
 Or did I hold on too strong? Ooh
 ♪
 Oh, no
 What about the plans that you left behind?
 The little white house by the railway line
 The one we picked out
 We even put the payment down
 What about the promise that you made
 To stay with me 'til your dying day?
 You said you'd never go away
 Are they just things that people say?
 Whoa
 Are they just things, baby?
 Oh
