Lyrics
?The Furthest Thing?
Words and Music by Ken Johnson
From the CD ?Gypsy Drive Thru? Summer 2002
Copyright 2002 Ken Johnson (ASCAP)
Always used to go where you wanted just to get you more
Now I can?t find you, and I can?t hide you from my mind
I wondered why there wasn?t ever something made you come back around
You didn?t mind it I was the furthest thing from your mind
Lie to me? At least for one more day
Well I never saw it coming never new it -thought it out now didn?t you babe
Yeah you had to get going had to do it leave it all on the table for me
Six and one half dozen the other it?s all the same thing
I was the furthest thing from your mind
Well there?s fifty ways to leave your lover girl you only needed one
To leave me on the run and it?s cold like a gun
Somebody?s gonna wanna be your lover just as soon as you get to some town
I felt like I could die down, a candle on the ground
Lie to me? At least for one more day
Lead
Well you never were one of those people that could just get satisfied
And settling down just got you down so I didn?t try
I guess I had it comin? just livin? and lovin? never asking why
Now nothings more clear than the pain that you feel when you?re blindsided
And I was the furthest thing from your mind
