Had a woman that passed me by, I think she knew the score
'Cause as time rolls on I'm more aware of what she's taken me for
Got a baby, depends on me, I think he has me pinned
'Cause he knows he can scatter my world like a leaf in the wind
I wonder, did the truth just pass me by?
Or did I just not see what was right before my eyes?
I used to know two dying men, I hope that someone saves
Now they're night time riders in the daylight diggin' their graves
Got a heaven hanging over head, waits for me to win
And I don't know why I should be so afraid to begin
