You Could've Had It All

(album: Beer, Bait And Ammo - 2000)

If these old walls could talk
I'd be a sad man
She'd left me long ago
If she knew the things I did back then
No, they ain't said a word
Stood silent through it all
I'd be a lonely man
If these old walls could talk

This old house of ours
It's made of stone
But it's built on sand
And these four walls
They are my best friends
Been keeping all my past
Locked deep inside
No one will ever know
All those things I did so long ago
I've been running, trying to hide from yesterday
But there's just no need
I know my secret's safe

If these old walls could talk
I'd be a sad man
She'd left me long ago
If she knew the things I did back then
No, they ain't said a word
Stood silent through it all
I'd be a lonely man
If these old walls could talk

They stood every storm
Those long, cold winter nights
They kept us warm
Holding back the rain
Not even the winds of change
Could ever blow 'em down
Yeah, we're on solid ground

If these old walls could talk
Id be a sad man
She'd left me long ago
If she knew the things I did back then
And, no, they ain't said a word
Stood silent through it all
I'd be a lonely man
If these old walls could talk

They've stood the test of time
Never let me down
I've put it all behind me
They remind me
I'm on shaky ground
They won't let me forget

If these old walls could talk
Id be a sad man
She'd left me long ago
If she knew the things I did back then
No, they ain't said a word
Stood silent through it all
I'd be a lonely man
If these old walls could talk

Yeah, I'd be a lonely man
If these old walls could talk
I'd be a sad man
She'd left me long ago
