I Lost It
Lucinda Williams · Car Wheels On A Gravel Road [2006]
Let me know if I let it fall along a back road somewhere
Money can't replace it, no memory can erase it
and I know I'm never gonna find another one to compare
Gimme some love to fill me up
Gimme some time, gimme some stuff
Gimme a sign, gimme some kind of reason
Are you heavy enough to make me stay?
I feel like I might blow away
I thought I was in Heaven, but I was only dreaming
I think I lost it, let me know if you come across it
Let me know if I let it fall along a back road somewhere
Money can't replace it, no memory can erase it
and I know I'm never gonna find another one to compare
I just wanna live the life I please
I don't want no enemies
I don't want nothin if i have to fake it
Never take nothin don't belong to me
Everything's paid for, nothin's free
If I give my heart, will you promise not to break it?
I think I lost it, let me know if you come across it
Let me know if I let it fall along a back road somewhere
Money can't replace it, no memory can erase it
and I know I'm never gonna find another one to compare
Money can't replace it, no memory can erase it
and I know I'm never gonna find another one to compare
