lyrics

Been five years since I’ve been in your town
Hard keeping my feet on solid ground
Well it took all that time coming down
By then she was six feet underground.

Well I know you didn’t know which way to do
It’s just that when I’m asked I got to point my finger too
And every time I hear your name, just get so blue.
I’d do it all again, up to you.

Been five years since I’ve been in your town
You know what with all that rain been coming down
I guess I go up to Harlem get high all the time
Looking for that girl said she’s going to blow my mind.

Well I know I’m not the one you want to do
What can I say but to thine self be true
Just sometimes I feel, you and I are stuck like glue
I’d do it all again, up to you.

Been five years since I’ve been in your town
Hard keeping my feet on solid ground
Well you know what I’m supposed to do
I guess you gave me the run around
By then he was six feet underground

Well I know you didn’t know which way to do
What can I say but to thine self be true
Look I just want you to know that you and I are through
I’d do it all again, up to you.
