I was wrapped up in a teeny little shirt
Lying in the grass by a pile of dirt
When my mother said, "honey, you'll be just fine"
I grew up tall and I grew up strong
I'm gonna meet you soon, it won't be long
Hey darlin', I know your heart's like mine
I saw her sittin' there just the other day
So I started to talk without much to say
She said, "friend, it's just a waste of time"
But the days go by and the days go past
So what difference does it make if nothin's gonna last
Hey darlin', I swear your heart's like mine
Never had much to do
Just filling in empty shoes
And trying to find ways to pass the time
But the way that the days go by
And the way we're alone at night
I'm no different than a leaf in the wind
Blowin' up north and then back down south again
I guess it's just a matter of making up my mind
She's no different than a bird in the tree
Singing all of her songs to me
Hey darlin', I swear your heart's like mine
