From the recording What Brings You Here
Lyrics
You Were Right
Verse 1:
You asked me, "Why do you have to stay away so long at a time
It seems you’re always gone
There’s so much you miss when you leave us behind
You know home is where you belong"
Chorus:
The highway is the life I made
I wouldn’t trade in my hand of cards
To you it might be my weak and selfish ways
But to me it’s just another day
In my wasted life
And you were right
Verse 2:
There I said it
You were right on the money
I couldn’t keep my hands off the bottlenecks and honeys
They drew me in and along the way I shut you out
Disappoint you again, I have no doubt
Chorus:
Yeah, this is the bed I made
As firm as a house of cards
Sometimes I wish I could prove you wrong, my love
But chances are I won't be thinking much
About that tonight
But you were right
Bridge:
Just like the other time when I tried to call our number
But I couldn’t remember what came after nine
Don’t know what spell I’ve come under
Maybe the weed, maybe the wine
Verse 3:
In the bottle on the seat
I’ll pull over when I’m dry or on the E
Reach over for another long pull
And try to forget the man I want to be
Solo:
Verse 4:
And you were right
When you said our love had no limits
And there was nothing else to be in by far
We were the best part of us
Everything else we just are
Yeah, you were right
Yeah, you were right
