I won’t get you near me
I don’t blame you
For not seeing my way
Don’t you worry, girl
There’s just too damn much power

And I won’t let it bother me
All that I had
Lets you think of me once in a while

Everybody’s got a dream to live long
And I’ve got one of mine
And I ain’t got near to begin with it
So I best be movin’ on

And I will think of you with me
And when I do
I don’t know if I’ll cry or smile

I will think of you with me
And when I do
I don’t know if I’ll cry or smile
