It's a Shame - Lyrics - Hayes Carll

The time has come, there is no second chance We've been drifting on an empty aching sea You were the girl I never knew I wanted I was the boy you hoped you'd never see Chorus: And it's a shame that we ain't lovers We could have been somethin' so big and grand Just kissin' for hours underneath that sweet magnolia Beggin' for answers, tryin' to make a stand Been burnin' up the hours, talkin' to the midnight Just dreamin' of ways I could hold you next to me But maybe it just wasn't meant, all things have a reason Maybe our hearts were just to careless and free Chorus There was a time, when you would have had me There was a time I could have had you But it's too late, another path has come and gone again I'm at the back door with a broken window view thinkin' Chorus I'm tired of writin' but I can't put down my pen It's too late now to talk or turn back So just hold on, cause baby here we go again Headin' the wrong way down that one way track Chorus
