Chorus
Well, I'm standin' with my head bowed down, now
That ain't right, that ain't wrong
It's just a feelin' but I can't shake it
Well, I keep on tryin' but it's been so long
If I hurt you, I did not mean to
I beg you pardon, I did not want to
When I leave you, don't you think about me
Well, I won't be back babe, I'll be long gone
[chorus]
When the time comes and I'm not ready
Seems it's over before I'm started
Well, the time comes and I don't feel it
I don't know nothin' but my own
[chorus]
Our kingdoms into the sky go
And the highway like a river does flow
On my way sometimes it hurts so
On your way, just don't go home
[chorus]
I keep on tryin' but it's been so long
I keep on tryin' but it's been so long
