Cryin For Me (Wayman's Song)
Toby Keith · American Ride [2009]
Got the news on Friday Evening but a tear I couldn't find
You showed me how I'm supposed to live and now
You showed me how to die
I was lost til Sunday mornin' but I woke up to face my fear
While writing you this goodbye song I found a tear
Chorus:
I'm gonna miss that smile
I'm gonna miss you my friend
Even though it hurt the way it ended up
I'd Do it all again
So play it sweet in heaven
Cause that's right where you wanted to be
I'm not cryin' casue I feel so sorry for you
I'm cryin for me
I got up and dialed your number
And your voice came on the line
With that old familiar message I heard a thousand times
It just said "Sorry that I missed you Leave your number and God bless"
I know you probably think I 'm crazy but I just had to hear your voice I guess
repeat Chorus
So play your upside down lefthanded backwards base guitar
And I'll see you on the other side superstar
Chorus
I'm gonna miss that smile
I'm gonna miss you my friend
Even though it hurt the way it ended up
I'd do it all again
So play sweet in heaven Cause that's right where you wanted to be
I'm not cryin cause I feel so sorry for you
I'm Cryin for me
Yeah I'm still crying
I'm Crying for me
You showed me how I'm supposed to live and now
You showed me how to die
I was lost til Sunday mornin' but I woke up to face my fear
While writing you this goodbye song I found a tear
Chorus:
I'm gonna miss that smile
I'm gonna miss you my friend
Even though it hurt the way it ended up
I'd Do it all again
So play it sweet in heaven
Cause that's right where you wanted to be
I'm not cryin' casue I feel so sorry for you
I'm cryin for me
I got up and dialed your number
And your voice came on the line
With that old familiar message I heard a thousand times
It just said "Sorry that I missed you Leave your number and God bless"
I know you probably think I 'm crazy but I just had to hear your voice I guess
repeat Chorus
So play your upside down lefthanded backwards base guitar
And I'll see you on the other side superstar
Chorus
I'm gonna miss that smile
I'm gonna miss you my friend
Even though it hurt the way it ended up
I'd do it all again
So play sweet in heaven Cause that's right where you wanted to be
I'm not cryin cause I feel so sorry for you
I'm Cryin for me
Yeah I'm still crying
I'm Crying for me
