Forgot To Say I Love You

And I waited 'til the rain stopped comin' down
Pulled off from the overpass, wet from head to toe
And I haven't seen the exit for this town
In seven years or more, I feel a burning in my soul
The house looks pretty good painted all in white
But you'd hate the way they did the yard and overstated fence
I can't remember what you said that night
But I remember what you wore that day
The light shined through your dress

Just an inch of flesh and bare was enough to turn me on
Your hands on your hips, your body young and toned
My mind is so lonely now that you're gone
From there

I forgot to say I love you
Tellin' you now won't do us any good
If there's a God that's up above you
I hope He treats you better than this world could
Better than it could

You'd be proud of the man that our son's become
He makes more money than I do, and he married John last spring
The pages of my story here are done
The road was long and dark at first, but I wouldn't change a thing

And life has dealt so many cards, my gambling now is curbed
And we're driving 'cross this desert, your ashes in an urn
'Cause we always said we'd see the country when we're old as dirt
Now here we are

I forgot to say I love you
Tellin' you now won't do us any good
If there's a God that's up above you
Hope He treats you better than this world could
Better than it could


I forgot to say I love you
Tellin' you now won't do us any good
If there's a God that's up above you
I hope He treats you better than this world could
Better than it could

Now I'm a singer on the stage
It's a job, but maybe it's not
And now I've finally come of age
My dad and I are in some parking lot
This Winnebago's done its time
Crossed every state border line
Played quiet and played loud
My mama would be proud
I thank you both, I was allowed to be
A singer on the stage
