Lay my hands across the six strings

Trying to play the feelings

Gonna try to lay it down

Gonna try to lay it down

Put your hand upon my shoulder

I'm crying because it's over

And I know that I let you down

I got a funny feeling

When we saw the road sign

'Cause after all it's your stay

It isn't mine

Well, you know I closed up my gate, baby

But somehow you got through

I learned a whole lot about me today

When I thought about you

Gonna lay my hands across the six strings

Wonder why my feelings

Have come to let me down

They come to let me down

Put your hand upon my shoulder

I'm crying because it's over

And I know that I let you down

I'm closer that ever

To being on my own

Closer to heaven

And I'm farther from home

And I'm thinking sixty miles an hour, yeah

In a thirty mile zone

Wanna lay may hands across the six strings

I'm trying to play the feelings

Gonna try to lay it down

Oh, put your hand upon my shoulder

I'm crying because it's over

And I know that I let you down

Not 'til my second cup of coffee

Do I realise it's all done, da da

And I put the long picture

Inside a short song

Now with all the rings around my fingers, yeah

And I still feel alone

Wanna lay may hands across the six strings

I'm trying to play the feelings

Wanna try to lay it down

I'm gonna try

Please, put your hand upon my shoulder

I'm crying because it's over

And I know that I let you down

Please, put your hand upon my shoulder

I'm crying because it's over

And I know that I let you down

I know that I let you down
