Pat Duffy: Eight Years Lyrics

"Eight Years"

Verse 1

It’s been eight years haven’t found somebody new

You’re off with your best life guess nothin bothers you

Sometimes I wonder if what we do is right

It’s just me and my dog Grizzly on this lonely Nashville night

I’m sittin. Staring at the sky out the window

All the traffic rolling by

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen my face in your green eyes

Does my memory ever pass you by

Chorus

Well I heard that you found somebody new

I guess the last one wasn’t right for you

I’m still here but I forgot just what to do

Yeah there’s been women but I never followed thru

Verse 2

I called home Buzzy said they’re breaking up the band

I used to love to sing with those boys. Every time I can

Something bout music kept me alive. but was it music that made you say good bye

Chorus

All those lonely nights I played for folks just getting high and your heart couldn’t tell me all the tears you cried

I was too dumb to notice things was going wrong and you just chased out like the ending of a song

Break

Verse 3

It’s been eight years might as well be twenty I’d give up the gigs pay back all the money just for one kiss and feel your body against my skin

Cus I’m old now and my time is running thin

Chorus

But I’m lying here with my best friend writing songs

And I’ve finally found a place I believe that I belong

After everything that went away I guess something’s turn out right

It’s just me and my boy Grizzly

On this lonely Nashville———night
