Here I Am

Patty Loveless · Classics [Epic] [1999]

(Tony Arata)



Don't do it darling

Don't you dare look in there

You said you didn't want to see me

But you've been lookin' for me everywhere.



And you know that you're gonna find me

If you keep on drinkin' fast

'Cause honey, I'm right there waitin' on you

At the bottom of your glass.



And here I am

Here I am

In the bourbon and the water

That burn you just like a brand here I am.



It ain't workin' darling

Hard as you may try

You keep hearin' the words you told me

In everyone's goodbye.



And you know that you're just one step

From another one being gone

I know I've seen 'em all unravel

I've been watchin' it all along.



Here I am

Here I am

In every lie you're hearin' that burn you

Just like a brand here I am.



And honey, I got over

You passin' me over a long time ago

And my pride was stronger when I was younger

Now I'd rather have you to know.



That here I am

Here I am

I still carry a flame for you

Burnin' me like a brand, here I am...
