I had a woman who passed me by
I thought she knew the score
But as time rolls on I'm more aware
Of what she's taking me for
I got a baby, depends on me
Thinks he's got me pinned
And he knows he can scatter my world
Like a leaf in the wind
And I wonder
Did the truth pass me by
Or did I just not see
What was right before my eyes
I used to know two dying men
I hope that someone saves
Now they're night-time riders
In the daylight, digging their graves
And I wonder
Did the truth pass me by
Or did I just not see
What was right before my eyes
Got a heaven hanging over head
That waits for me to win
And I just don't know
Why I'm so afraid to begin
I had a woman who passed me by
I thought she knew the score
But as time rolls on I'm more aware
Of what she's taking me for
