lyrics

The Ballad Of Abby Lane
Saw a photograph of you
From yesterday
I had almost forgotten you
Until that day
You were my first love
When I was just a boy
I learned about love
The pain & the joy
I wasn’t the alpha child
Nor the leader of men
So Abby didn’t see me
Way back then….
Some boys are good at football
Some boys no good at all
Takes a while to
Find the groove
If you ever find it at all
At the end of the party
When the slow dance came around
I lost sight of Abbey
And I took a fall
While I was with some gentlemen
Getting my head kicked in,
Abby was outside
Getting it in…
So my dad came & got me
He sneered at my pain
And I knew I’d lost more than just
Sweet Abby Lane..
You get drunk & stupid
And cry ‘til you’re numb
And then you toughen up a little
Until you’re ’someone’
Now the more that they want you
We play like we don’t care
Hard lesson to learn but
In the end you get there
It’s ok, it’s ok
If you were in love with him
When the blows came down
I never felt a thing..
Saw a photograph of you
From yesterday
I had almost forgotten you
Until that day
You were my first love
When I was just a boy
I learned about love
The pain & the joy.
