It felt like a stone cold September, was it summertime
I can't remember but I'll never forget what a shell of a man you became
Through the light to the dark through the rain
In the bar we were talking about the future
Anything but the hair band she used or, the last time she stood with a picture of you in her hand
In the light from the dark to the sand
I never knew that the road hits the wrong side of town
With time on my side I would talk more of talking you down
I can't forget what you said as you let go my hand, it takes more than a gun to be a man
As the years pass all I can think of, is the way that you finished your drinks off
Singing peace to my kin or at least to the ones who remain
I'm too weak, fall too deep to bare this pain
I never knew that the road hits the wrong side of town
With time on my side I would talk more of talking you down
I can't forget what you said as you let go my hand, it takes more than a gun to be a man
