Malcolm Holcombe - Way Behind lyrics

It used to be the east side That drug me down too far I wallowed in my bad moves And hollered in the dark Spent all my time dyin' And losin' ev'ry thought Of a precious tiny hand Holdin' on and turnin' cold Beatin' up ol memories Of never good enough Leavin' all the laughter And your kindness way behind It used to be the squandered Dollars from your sweat And the last words that i heard Goin' out the door you said Now the neighbors all remember The fancy funeral homes I never set a foot in To comfort anyone Beatin' up ol memories Of never good enough Leavin' all the laughter And your kindness way behind Lord have mercy now and then When shadows follow clouds Too heavy with my tears To hold back even now You can listen to the stories Gettin' thru another day Without you without you In the blues Beatin' up ol memories Of never good enough Leavin' all the laughter And your kindness way behind Beatin' up ol memories Of never good enough Leavin' all the laughter And your kindness way behind
