All I ever wanted was to be your hero
Show you just how strong I stood
To hold you close and never ever let you go
But things didn't work out so very good
Now it's one more beer and I'll be on my way
With my broken heart and broken dreams
I didn't mean for things to go so far astray
Things just didn't turn out the way I dreamed

It was so good that first year
Then we started slipping fast
Now I get so lost just looking in your eyes
I guess our sweet love's come to pass

The south side of nowhere
Is where I find myself these long and lonely days
I didn't mean to be so far from sunny honey
I didn't mean to make a scene
I didn't mean to be so doggone ugly honey
Things just didn't turn out the way I dreamed

No mas cervezza por favor
Could you just point me towards the door
I guess I see how things turned out now I've got to say
This train is running out of steam
I didn't mean for things to get so dark and gray honey
Things just didn't turn out the way I dreamed
