I was driving by the ocean I didn't even notice The color of the sky The color of the water Because I was too busy choking down my own life And what I have become My mama's first born daughter Barely getting by Don't go feeling sorry for yourself James It's all color by numbers Man it's how you play the game And you can't be giving up on trying And you can't be spilling milk and crying But you can't feel anything but rough When you can't be with the one you love When you can't be with the one you love So I drove on up the canyon Saw pinwheels in the nursery yard Dancing in an autumn breeze Dancing up a storm real hard Yeah we used to dance and we used to sing Lord we used to tear it up Drink beer and hang out here Sip love from a country club Some things are bound to never change Love goes on forever Baby even in the rain A million miles away Ahhhhhs Girl don't ya know that you Can't be giving up on trying And you can't be spilling milk and crying But you can't feel anything but rough When you can't be with the one you love When you can't be with the one you love When you can't be with the one you love
