PAGES OF MY PAST
J.CARTERS.JONES
JONESYBOY MUSIC BMI
VERSE ONE
SITTIN' UNDER THE FRONT PORCH LIGHT
ON A SUMMER NIGHT WAY BACK WHEN,
WE STAYED OUT UNTIL MAMA SAID TO COME BACK IN...
SNEAKIN' SMOKES OUT BEHIND THE BARN
AND ACTING COOL WITH MY BEST FRIEND,
ALL I WANTED WAS TO HURRY UP AND BE A MAN...
CHORUS
THE PAGES OF MY PAST, EACH ONE IS DIFFERENT FROM THE LAST
I GUESS I'VE LEARNED A THING OR TWO ALONG THE WAY...
THE MORE I LIVE THE MORE I FIND I CANNOT LEAVE THE PAST BEHIND,
AND I WOULD NOT HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY...
VERSE 2
WE WERE BOTH FRESH OUT OF SCHOOL
WITH BIG DREAMS IN OUR EYES,
WE WERE MAKING PLANS WHEN I REALIZED...
SO MANY THINGS THAT I'D NEVER SEEN
THAT I COULD NOT DENY,
I BROKE THAT POOR GIRL'S HEART WHEN I SAID GOODBYE...
CHORUS
THE PAGES OF MY PAST, EACH ONE IS DIFFERENT FROM THE LAST
I GUESS I'VE LEARNED A THING OR TWO ALONG THE WAY...
THE MORE I LIVE THE MORE I FIND I CANNOT LEAVE THE PAST BEHIND,
AND I WOULD NOT HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY,
I WOULD NOT HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY...
BRIDGE
THERE WERE SO MANY SLEEPLESS NIGHTS
THAT KEPT ME FROM MY DREAMS,
BUT EVERY HOPE I HAD
WAS SO MUCH CLOSER THAN IT SEEMED...
CHORUS
THE PAGES OF MY PAST, EACH ONE IS DIFFERENT FROM THE LAST
I GUESS I'VE LEARNED A THING OR TWO ALONG THE WAY...
THE MORE I LIVE THE MORE I FIND I CANNOT LEAVE THE PAST BEHIND,
AND I WOULD NOT HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY,
I WOULD NOT HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY...
