You've been a part of my life So very long It's hard for me to believe sometimes You're really gone I tuck your memory away In my special hiding place Let's hope that no one can tell By the look on my face That you're still in my heart Always on my mind A part of my every day Like just last night I went out for a bite And I tried to have fun With her on my mind But even the laughter It wasn't much of a break Cuz right in the middle of my strawberry shake Bobby Joe walked in With a couple of friends and said Hey man have you seen her at all? Like, where's she been? And it struck a nerve and it Hit a vein You'd think from all the tears I've cried This broken hearted pain I wouldn't have to Carry you around with me And it seems like everywhere I go
Somebody wants to know where you've been And are you coming back again I swear I can't take you anywhere So I left all alone I just headed on home As I listened to the messages on my telephone There was one from my sister And one of an old friend (Hey man, I drove by your house tonight, dude, but uh) You wasn't in Just checkin up on you boy I hope you're doin alright Oh by the way, man, I seen her last night And it struck a nerve and it Hit a vein You'd think from all the tears I've cried This broken hearted pain I wouldn't have to Carry you around with me And it seems like everywhere I go Somebody wants to know where you've been And are you coming back again I swear I can't take you anywhere
