lyrics

Well I've been hurtin' hard lately for a'headin' on home
Maybe I miss the summer nights just a'runnin' down those country roads
Seekin' out the secrets of the pale moonlight
Laughin' and drinkin' with the girls who make it all feel all right

I guess I might always miss those country girls
They always smile when they see ya and that rips apart my world
To see 'em chasin' after somethin' that they just can't find
Feels like I'm chasin' after somethin' that used to be all mine

But ooh, I never really knew any women like that
Just wasted all my summer days a'wond'rin where they're at
Now I'm trying to take from truth what it won't give
Nostalgic for a life I never lived

Some folks find their place and settle down to stay
But fate just won't stop tearin' me away
Oh the ones we love rest heavy on our minds
But there ain't none so weighty as the ones we leave behind

Dwelling in old photographs of lovers and friends
Some that I can't even say if they're alive or dead
The things I'd give for just one single look
'Round the bends of all those paths I never took

Well, well, ma belle, you harrowed me each day
With every song I tried and failed to keep you at bay
I thought I used to love you for so long
And to this day I'm still not sure that I was wrong

'Cause somethin' happens to young love when it hits freeway speeds
But I just can't keep followin' wherever your muse leads
I'm too damn young for drivin' myself mad
Nostalgic for a love I never had
