Blitzen Trapper - Ever Loved Once Lyrics
[Verse 1:]It was just as I was leavingThrow some change up on the bombShe aught my eye through the swinging doorShe was standing out by my carI said I thought you moved to the city girlNo one never did find the time I’ve been wasting away, at my sister’s placeJust North of the county lineWell I gazed out across the gravel lineTo the road that leads to townThinking all the ways that I broke your heartYeah, thinking how it all went down[Chorus:]And I’m saying it’s a strange thing to see you nowI’ve been running so long on the same old groundGonna rattle these chains till the morning lightIf I ever loved once, you knowI never loved right by you[Verse 2:]So we go up to the turn-pipeWhere the whole world turns to skyI took her hand, but she drew awayLike a bird getting ready to flyShe said I ain’t so young, and I met someoneHe’s a rock that just won’t rollAnd I gotta find out, if I only love onceSo does love keep coming to call[Chorus:]Cause it’s a strange thing to see you nowI’ve been running so long on the same old groundGonna rattle these chains till the morning lightIf I ever loved once, you knowI never loved right by you[Verse 3:]There’s a half built house in the potter’s fieldAll the timbers are turned to grayThere’s an old brown dog living on the porchI seen them just the other dayWell I laid those planks, and I drove those nailsBut it never did satisfy himAnd a man must forfeit all he ownsFor a glimpse at the reason why[Chorus:]It’s a strange thing to see you nowI’ve been running so long on the same old groundGonna rattle these chains till the morning lightIf I ever loved once, you knowI never loved rightIt’s a strange thing to see you hereIf the world don’t mine, yeah you better leave the keysGonna rattle these chains till the morning lightIf I ever loved once, you knowI never loved right
