Sounds Better In The Song Lyrics

Artist: Drive-By Truckers
Album: Decoration Day

When I saw her standing there, with her bright eyes and shining hair,
she was looking back at me.
Some are meant to sing, some are meant to talk and some arenÅ meant to say a thing.
But when she opened up her mouth and that sweet voice came out
I lost track of my own name.
Now sheÅ found herself, and I lost mine
and IÅ just another guy who canÅ give her anything.

Well the drifter, He holds on to his youth just like it was money in the bank.
And ?â€¢ord knows, I canÅ changesounds better in the song
than it does with hell to pay.
I might as well of slipped that ring on your finger from a window of a van
as it drove away.
Now sheÅ found herself, and I lost mine
and IÅ just another guy who canÅ give her anything.

Dreams are given to you when youÅ e young enough to dream them
before they can do you any harm.
They donÅ start to hurt, until you try to hold on to them after seeing how they really are.
She used to dream them with me, every single crazy one,
until they started hurting her too, now sheÅ got some of her own
and outgrowing me, might be the best thing for her sheÅ ever done.

A light that shines as bright as hers canÅ be kept in the shadows for too long.
A heart that wants to live and a soul that wants to give
canÅ just sit at home alone.
Lord, sheÅ give me everything and never wanted anything I couldnÅ give.
Just what was inside of me.
And now sheÅ found herself, and I lost mine
and IÅ just another guy who canÅ give her anything.
