lyrics

Cross Your Mind

Pretty little girl
She was a steal for thieves.
Said she was making herself a new life,
Somewhere apart from me.
Well she moved up North you know,
Where the tall buildings grow.
Going to live a life she could tell about,
One that made sense, far from home.

Well there’s gonna come a time girl,
When I cross your mind, some sad day.
You packed all your bags and you took all your things,
On a pretty little run away.
I guess with all the clever lines you know the pretty little phrases,
I found so hard to say.
Somewhere on the backside of the back of my mind,
I knew you would never stay.
You’d never stay.

The pretty little girl,
She had a nose for things.
Things that bring trouble you know,
Things that bring here grief.
Said she was headed out West you know,
Where the tall trees grow.
She’s gonna live a life she can tell about,
One that makes sense far from home.

Well there’s gonna come a time girl,
When I cross your mind, some sad day.
You packed all your bags and you took all your things,
On a pretty little run away.
I guess with all the clever lines you know the pretty little phrases,
I found so hard to say.
Somewhere on the backside of the back of my mind,
I knew you would never stay.
You’d never stay.
