When I first saw your smile, it reminded me for a while
Of a girl I once met in a dream
As if it were a prophecy, foretold about you and me
And how we were meant to be
But now I’m a broken record of better days gone past
Hazy memories of a time that went by all too fast
Pining for your love, praying to the lord above
The love that I was given took away by all my sinnin’
Livin’ with the bad decisions that I made
Drunk on Highway 99, I never ever shoulda tried
To drive us home that night
You yelled about my gambling debts, then nothing made a lick of sense
Next thing I woke up to flashing lights
Life ain’t been so easy since you’ve been gone
Trying to raise these two kids up on my own
Pining for your love, praying to the lord above
The love that I was given took away by all my sinnin’
Livin’ with the bad decisions that I made
They all said it was the good lord who took you away
But that’s not true, it was me who went astray
Now I walk the straight and narrow to honor your blessed name
That smile you once had, our daughter she has the same
Pining for your love, praying to the lord above
The love that I was given took away by all my sinnin’
Livin’ with the bad decisions that I made
