(Verse 1)
Well, I used to be a simple man, just a workin' on the land,
With calloused hands and dusty boots, a life I could understand.
But then she walked into my world, like a sunrise in the morn,
With eyes as deep as the river, and a heart that was reborn.
(Chorus)
Now I'm a lost soul, wanderin' in the night,
She loved me with all her heart, but somethin' just ain't right.
I became a stranger, a shadow of who I used to be,
She had to leave to find herself, and now I'm lost at sea.
(Verse 2)
She'd hold me in the moonlight, her laughter like a song,
I took her love for granted, never thought it could go wrong.
But I let the bottle take control, and my demons took the reins,
Now I'm left with memories of her, and nothing but my chains.
(Chorus)
Now I'm a lost soul, wanderin' in the night,
She loved me with all her heart, but somethin' just ain't right.
I became a stranger, a shadow of who I used to be,
She had to leave to find herself, and now I'm lost at sea.
(Bridge)
I see her face in every star, in every song that plays,
I pray that she finds happiness in these lonely, endless days.
But I'll carry this regret, like a burden on my chest,
For the love I let slip away, like a ship lost in the west.
(Verse 3)
I wish I could turn back time, make things right again,
But life's a cruel teacher, and it don't offer no amends.
So here I am, a wanderer, with a heart that's torn in two,
Hoping she found the love she deserved, while I'm left singin' the blues.
(Chorus)
Now I'm a lost soul, wanderin' in the night,
She loved me with all her heart, but somethin' just ain't right.
I became a stranger, a shadow of who I used to be,
She had to leave to find herself, and now I'm lost at sea.
(Outro)
So I'll roam these lonesome highways, with memories as my guide,
A lost soul in the darkness, on this never-ending ride.
But if she ever hears this song, I hope she'll understand,
That I'll love her 'til my dying day, though I'm just a driftin' man.
