So many years have past me by
Since i looked you in the eyes
From your window i saw you wave goodbye
It haunts me how you stood there & cried
But the time had come for me to move on
As i drove away the blinds were drawn
In a moment, out of sight
You were gone
Yeah, you were gone

I asked myself if i could make it through
This lonely road to where i never knew
But the small town life for me was never enough
The picture of my past
I had to burn it up
I had to burn it up

So many tears you must have cried
So much love you've been denied
But the time had come for me to move on
I didn't realize till i was gone
Till i was gone

I asked myself if i could make it through
This lonely road to where i never knew
This small town life for me was never enough

The picture of my past
I had to burn it up
And i asked myself if you would see it through
Alone and where i was, you never knew
But the small town life for me was never enough
The picture of my past
I had to burn it up

I asked myself if i could make it through
This lonely road to where i never knew
This small town life for me was never enough
The picture of my past
I had to burn it up

And i asked myself if you would see it through
Alone and where i was, you never knew
But the small town life for me was never enough
The picture of my past
I had to burn it up
