about

Written and Performed by Johnny Bourbon

This song was also very new at the time and this take was the first time It was ever played in front of an audience.

lyrics

I'll sleep alone tonight,
Besides the howlin'
Of the wild dogs outside,
And the sounds of the desert
Are holding me tight,
To a memory, of when we were young.

I think I miss those times,
But nowadays
I get too sad to cry,
I can still hear our voices
In the big empty sky
And they remind me of why I'm on my own.

But I hope you'll think of me,
Am I a ghost in your memory?
Am I haunting the hallways
Of the places we've been?
Do you see me, the way I see you?

Cause I've been out ramblin'
And I can almost swear I've seen
A dark haired girl dancing
In the big empty streets,
But there's nothing in the world I can do.

I didn't mean a thing,
By leaving town the way I did,
I was running from something
I couldn't explain,
But I hurt you, and I'm sorry I did.

Coming of age is cruel,
It's the destruction that we owe to youth,
If we only knew
The damage we'd do...
But then again, we didn't know much as kids. .

We didn't know a goddamn thing...
