I Just Wanted You to Know

Mark Chesnutt · Ultimate Collection: Complete Mca Single 1990-2000 [2011]

Are you alone

Can you talk to an old friend?

Right or wrong

I had to hear your voice again

Unwritten law, protical, says to me the past is gone



I just wanted you to know

Sometimes driving home at night

I let your memory take control

And your settin by my side

I turn up the radio

cruise down old Rt. 59

Girl its solid gold

Well Ill let you go

I just wanted you to know



Through the vines

I heard your life has turned out well

As for mine, you know its really hard to tell

Cause now & then what might have been

Interfears with what might be



But i just wanted you to know

Sometimes driving home at night

I let your memory take control

And your settin by my side

I turn up the radio

cruise down old Rt. 59

Girl its solid gold

Well Ill let you go

I just wanted you to know



Please dont cry, Ill say goodbye, and i wont call you anymore



But i just wanted you to know

Sometimes driving home at night

I let your memory take control

And your settin by my side

I turn up the radio

cruise down old Rt. 59

Girl its solid gold

Well Ill let you go

I just wanted you to know
