My days were empty and I'd foldednMy words were void of any stylenBegged, broken, cheated, even stolennThought I'd jump this train and ride a while nnYou took my mind and blew it open nI hadn't even planned to stay nI'm left here tired and outspoken nNot knowing just what I should saynnEverything that I touch turns to gold nI'm preaching happinessnAs my happiness gets oldnThis house of plenty is all I've known nIt confines me though nThe way I love this world nIt's a shame to ever have to gonnIt's been too much to get my hands innYour red wing dreams have worn right through nFor me there's no misunderstanding nAnd I always have believed in you nnYou took my mind and blew it open nI hadn't even planned to stay nI'm left here tired and outspokennNot knowing just what to sayn
