Lyrics
JUST GOT AWAY FROM ME
Words and Music
Tom Griffith
I guess it started back in high school
getting' crazy with my friends
After the game we'd go out drinkin'
Maybe do a number every now and then
it felt good getting' high
I started doin' it whenever I could
But then it changed, I'm not sure when
But I started getting' high just to feel good
It got away from me
Just got away from me
I thought I had it all under control
but it just got away from me
Well I was lonely, so I got married
Pretty soon that all turned to - -
All we did was scream at each other
Thank God we never had a kid
'Cause she just kept on me about the money
Whatever I did was never enough
One day I lost it and I hit her
But I swear I never meant to get that rough
Chorus
So here I am, wherever that is
Steppin' on the pieces of my shattered dreams
You know I think what cuts the deepest
Is finding out that things are just what they seem
Yeah sometimes I sit back and wonder
How iever came to this
How everything I tried to hold onto
Ran out like water through my fist
Chorus
