If You See Her

Waylon Jennings · Are You Ready for the Country/What Goes Around Com [2003]

(Mickey Newbury)



If you see her and she mentions my name

Tell her the times have but I have not changed

All my friends know that I still feel the same

If you see her and she mentions my name.



If you see her ask her for me

If the dreamer in her head set her free

Does she know now what the words I say mean

If you see her won't you ask her for me.



Everything I told her then was true

Everything was true at the time

But time has a way of changing every day

Truth has a way of changing all the time.



If you see her and she mentions my name

Tell her for me that she was not to blame

There's no reason now for her to feel the shame

If you see her and she mentions my name.



Everything I told her then was true

Everything was true at the time

But time has a way of changing every day

Truth has a way of changing all the time.



If you see her and she mentions my name

Tell her for me that she was not to blame

There's no reason now for her to feel the shame

If you see her and she mentions my name...
