Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

There I was at the bus stop beggin’ you just to stay

Can we work this out, baby we can work this out

A dust trail from a Greyhound headed for the West Coast

As I watch you leave, it’s gettin’ hard to breathe

No this ain’t how it was suppose to be

You’re out chasin’ all your dreams

Tell me where does that leave me

What about the plans that you left behind

The little white house by the railway line

The one we picked out, we even put the payment down

What about the promise that you made

To stay with me 'til your dying day

You said you’d never go away

Are they just things that people say

Are they just things, baby

The preacher stopped by the house last Tuesday

Asked if I was fine

We sat and talked a while, he tried to make me smile

But it’s so hard to show my face round lately

In this small town

I guess they heard the news 'bout me and you

It’s three a.m. and I can’t sleep at all

I wonder where you are tonight and do I ever cross your mind

What about the plans that you left behind

The little white house by the railway line

The one we picked out, we even put the payment down

What about the promise that you made

To stay with me 'til your dying day

You said you’d never go away

Are they just things that people say

Well my momma won’t stop crying

She wonders what went wrong

Could I have loved a little deeper

Or did I hold on too strong

What about the plans that you left behind

The little white house by the railway line

The one we picked out, we even put the payment down

What about the promise that you made

To stay with me 'til your dying day

You said you’d never go away

Are they just things that people say

Are they just things, baby
