One Short Year Gone By

VERSE
 Sailin' down my life so fast
 And someone seen me zippin' past
 And reachin' out they took my hand
 And made a move to slow me
 Speakin' words, an angel's voice
 And I replied, "I got no choice
 And you, you're from some other world
 And babe, you just don't know me"
 CHORUS
 And it's one short year gone by
 Sad, I've made her cry, sweet baby
 VERSE
 I never meant to play that part
 I never meant to even start
 I was thinkin' 'bout some plans I'd made
 And there she was beside me
 She looked up and then we kissed
 And somethin' there said "don't resist"
 And that was late that summer night
 I don't know why she tried me
 (REPEAT CHORUS)
 BRIDGE
 Darlin', your sweet touch
 Well, I've never shared so much
 Little baby, this life's on fire
 It's burnin' and screaming higher
 VERSE
 Got to get some time alone
 I'm just outside the danger zone
 There's people all around me now
 And I don't know what I'm thinkin'
 I went down a ways from here
 And kids were dancin', drinkin' beer
 I was so much older there
 My spirit started sinkin'
 (REPEAT CHORUS)
 VERSE
 Tryna keep my life insane
 And keep my mind inside the rain
 And see the false securities
 And understand the highway
 Made a lotta stupid moves
 I've always got some point to prove
 I ain't exactly all that nice
 I've got to do it my way
 (REPEAT CHORUS)
 (REPEAT BRIDGE)
