It was just as I was leaving
Throw some change up on the bar
She caught my eye through the swinging door
She was standing out by my car
I said I thought you moved to the city girl
No I never did find the time
Iâve been wasting away at my sisterâs place
Just North of the county line
Well I gazed out across the gravel lot
To the road that leads to town
Thinking all the ways that I broke your heart
Yeah, thinking how it all went down
[Chorus:]
And Iâm saying itâs a strange thing to see you now
Iâve been running so long on the same old ground
Gonna rattle these chains till the morning light
If I ever loved once, you know
I never loved right by you
[Verse 2:]
So we go up to the turnpike
Where the whole world turns to sky
I took her hand, but she drew away
Like a bird getting ready to fly
She said I ainât so young, and I met someone
Heâs a rock that just wonât roll
And I gotta find out, if you only love once
Or does love keep coming to call
[Chorus:]
Cause itâs a strange thing to see you now
Iâve been running so long on the same old ground
Gonna rattle these chains till the morning light
If I ever loved once, you know
I never loved right by you
[Verse 3:]
Thereâs a half built house in the potterâs field
All the timbers are turned to gray
Thereâs an old brown dog living on the porch
I seen them just the other day
Well I laid those planks, and I drove those nails
But it never did satisfy
And a man must forfeit all he owns
For a glimpse at the reason why
[Chorus:]
Itâs a strange thing to see you now
Iâve been running so long on the same old ground
Gonna rattle these chains till the morning light
If I ever loved once, you know
I never loved right
Itâs a strange thing to see you here
If the world's gone blind, yea you'd better lend an ear
Gonna rattle these chains till the morning light
If I ever loved once, you know
I never loved right
