State Of Confusion

Story Behind The Song

Lyrics

State of Confusion
Words and Music by Gary Snead and William T Ramsey
Copyright 2000 ©

I'm not sure I'll ever know,
All the things that I did wrong,
They all just seemed to add right up,
'Til the moment you were gone,
I never seemed to say the right thing,
I couldn't change your point of view,
Or overcome the years of hurt,
And the pain that I'd caused you

Well I was born in Alabama,
Now I hail from Tennessee,
But I live in the State of Confusion,
Since you walked away from me

Well now hindsight is twenty-twenty,
Those are the words that you told me,
But I couldn't see the forest,
For all of them damned trees,
Oh girl I'm seeing clearly now,
And I know why you wouldn't wait,
For all the good that knowing does,
It's just too little, too late

Well I was born in Alabama,
Now I hail from Tennessee,
But I live in the State of Confusion,
Since you walked away from me

Well I was born in Alabama,
Now I hail from Tennessee,
But I live in the State of Confusion,
Since you stopped loving me
