Gone With The Wind
Side Walk Slam Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well i'm sitting here thinking of you
Trying to keep from turning blue
Because it's hurting bad
It doesn't matter if you know
Just look at me it's bound to show
Ii'm left with nothing to say

All these tears and all these years
Have left me standing here all by myself

Well past mistakes and old heartaches,
And dirty paths that i've retraced

I'm starting on a new road
There's no looking back, no looking back

What's done is done and in the past,
I've learned my lesson that nothing lasts
I bid to you farewell
I'm looking forward to better days




Blue skies, grass, and warm sun rays
I hope that you do as well
