Lyrics

In The Game

I thought I saw you coming 'cross the field today
The sun was shining brightly all around
Before I could reach you I saw you slowly fade away
Leaving nothing before me but a stump in the fresh plowed ground

Chorus:
Won't you tell me why you left me
Better yet, please tell me why you came
If I'm just another thing that you're playin'
Tell me why was I ever in the game

I just want the chance to say what I have to say
That's the reason that I came into town
If you come back you know that you won't have to stay
When a man's in the water you don't just watch him drown

Chorus:

I never felt so bad about a woman before
I'm out of tears so I can't even cry
I'm down so low, you left me with my heart on the floor
I think I'd have to rally just to die

Chorus:
