Song Lyrics:
Now, Now, Now, Now
Never was the one to believe in peoples stories
But he always had a faith in love, not a heavy heart
Threw away the book when his pretty lady swore
i'm never gonna leave you, never gonna leave
crime & a shock, broke an innocent heart
from the first kind word to the final cry
when she finally said i love you babe
but take my hand and kiss it goodbye
hindsight is a funny thing
never going back again
part of the ride is the crash at the end
well he's lovin it now, but he was hatin' then
skip town and cried himself a river
till he landed in a city where the night life never sleeps
got himself a bed & a job and he swore
i'm never gonna leave it, never gonna leave
damn shame when the paycut came
and the rent was raised & he wasn't happy anyway
crooked his hat and packed his things
said i kiss this town goodbye
hindsight is a funny thing
please don't take me back again
remembering when he had no friends
well he's lovin it now, but he was hatin' then!
well... livin on the edge
kept him busy for a time
but the nights got long and the days seem to fade away
all his past trapped up inside
was never gonna leave him, never gonna leave
what a shock
when he stared it in the face
and he thought he saw god
though it didn't happen overnight
payback all the hurt inside
and said i kiss these blues good bye
looking back on ugly sin
paying dues to reach the end
and praying it's time to begin
the payoff now for the hell back then!
