Cryin For Me (Waymans Song)
Toby Keith · Other Songs - Toby Keith
But a tear I couldn't find
You showed me how I am supposed to live
Now you showed me how to die
I was lost til Sunday morning
I woke up to face my fear
While writing you this good bye song I found a tear
I'm gunna miss that smile
I'm gunna miss you my friend
Even though it hurts the way it ended up
I'd do it all again
So play it sweet in heaven
Cause thats right where you want to be
I'm not cryin' cause I feel so sorry for you
Im cryin' for me
I got up and dialed your number
and Your voice came on the line
With that old familiar message
Ive heard a thousand times
It just said, sorry that I missed you
Leave a message and God bless
I know you'd think I am crazy
But I had to hear your voice, I guess
I'm gunna miss that smile
I'm gunna miss you my friend
Even though it hurts the way it ended up
I'd do it all again
So play it sweet in heaven
Cause thats right where you wanna be
I'm not cryin' cause I feel so sorry for you
Im cryin' for me
Ohhh
So play your upside-down, left handed
Backwards bass guitar
I'll see you on the other side superstar
I'm gunna to miss that smile
I'm gunna to miss you my friend
Even though it hurts the way it ended up
I'd do it all again
So play it sweet in heaven
Cause thats right where you wanna be
I'm not cryin' cause I feel so sorry for you
Im cryin' for me
I'm still cryin'
I'm cryin' for me
Oh
I'm still cryin'
