this is a true story that happened to me

lyrics

It's been years since I lived in this town
An' I just came back around
To see what's changed,'n' what's still the same 'round here
I remember you from way back when
One of my kid brother's friends
The pretty one, with eyes older than your years
An' I can't say I never looked at you
Though any more, so sure I'd never do
Cause you were just fifteen, an' I never seen
That you were looking at me too

So when you come blowin' through this town
Didn't take you long to track me down
Just to act so suprised to recognize me
When I turned around
And now you wanna stay with me tonight
Well, I guess that'd be alright
If you’d wake up in my arms

Well, I guess I wanted to believe
Something real could happen to me
Not just playin’ my part in some leftover teenage fantasy
An' it seems you got some other guy
Claim you broke it off one hot July
But he's still around; guess you got your reasons, got your reasons why

So when you come blowin' through this town
Did ya just stop by to throw me down?
Or were you lookin' for something
That you've never found?
An if I find I've got some thing for you
What am I supposed to do?
You just say Watch out what you wish for

Yeah, it's been years since I lived in this town
An' I just came back around
To see what's changed, what's still the same
An' thinkin’ maybe settle down

But then you come blowin' through this town
Ya like to stir things up, leave me wonderin' how
I ain't learned by now, just to take my bow
An' keep my feet here on the ground
I got nothin’ left to say to you
But the one thing I know is true
Gone's that girl I once knew
