Those Days are Gone, and My Heart is Breaking Lyrics by Barton Carroll

The Lost One

2009

[Verse 1]
Hey, Danny boy, I was thinkin' of our crew
But thinkin' just makes me sad, and that's why I write to you
How do you do?
There's been years between us
[Verse 2]
Didn't we have big ideas when our school was done?
We'd leave our smaller minds and move out to Oregon
But I was the only one
Who went the road less taken
[Verse 3]
I met a girl and I swept her off her feet
Made her promises I never meant to keep
There's a mean streak in me
Inside a storm was ragin'
[Verse 4]
She had a form like no other girl in town
We had a baby boy, but I couldn’t stick around
I couldn't be tied down
That's just the way I was thinkin'
[Refrain]
Those days are gone and my heart is achin'
[Verse 5]
Thought I deserved so much more than work could pay
I drove containers to BC from Monterrey
It was a long way
On pins and needles
[Verse 6]
She wrote me letters, but I never opened one
She met some other man and gave his name to my son
I guess the damage is done
And there's no way I can fake it
[Refrain]
Those days are gone and my heart is breakin'
[Bridge]
Always thought my heart to be a dark horse
Layin' low 'til race day came along
Lately my heart's feelin' like a dart board
And that’s not somethin' I had planned at all
[Verse 7]
Danny, there's no limit to the steps I could retrace
But I got a job cookin' eggs at my friend's place
It's no disgrace
To make an honest livin'
[Verse 8]
And if it makes you blue, I hope I did not dwell
And if this gets to you, I hope it finds you well
There's not much else
Out here it's been rainin'
[Refrain]
Those days are here, and my heart is waitin'
