Pot of Gold
This one is for Bailey...
Oh, you know I hate to leave you helpless,
But there's really nothing that I can do.
Your parents say that I have done enough.
I mean, just look at what I've gotten you into.
Oh, I know just how to leave you breathless,
And you know how to make me lose my mind.
Right now, there's an army standing in between us,
But, baby, you will always be mine.
'Til the sky comes crashing down from up above
You know, I don't think this town is right for us.
So, run,
And run as fast as your feet will take you.
Don't look back, don't let them catch you.
I'll be on my way soon.
I'm right behind you.
So, go,
And don't stop 'til your heart explodes.
I promise you I'll find you down the road.
I could never give up on my pot of gold.
Just leave a map before you go.
Oh, I don't think love is blind, but it's ironic.
A sarcastic beast without a sense of time.
All of my past loves have left me brokenhearted,
But, oh, Cupid, this time, you've crossed the line.
Oh, you gave me something I knew I couldn't keep,
But, baby girl, you're so irresistible.
I can't begin to express how happy it makes me
To say that you were the legs to my table.
And, now, you're gone, and I fell flat on my face.
But, it's okay, cuz I'm the one that told you to run away, anyway.
And I'm scared to death, but I know you'll be okay.
You'll find a way...
So, run,
And run as fast as your feet will take you.
Don't look back, don't let them catch you.
I'll be on my way soon.
I'm right behind you.
So, go,
And don't stop 'til your heart explodes.
I promise you I'll find you down the road.
I could never give up on my pot of gold.
Just leave a map before you go.
Oh, baby, don't you worry 'bout me.
It hurts so bad, but I'm sure I'll be just fine.
On the nights that I can't help but miss you,
I think back to a time when you were all mine...
