Things People Say

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There I was at the bus stop, begging you just to stay Can we work this out? Baby, we can work this out A dust trail from a Greyhound headed for the West Coast As I watch you leave, it's gettin' hard to breathe [Pre-Chorus] No, this ain't how it was supposed to be If you're out chasing all your dreams Tell me, where does that leave me? [Chorus] What about the plans that you left behind? The little white house by the railway line The one we picked out We even put the payment down What about the promise that you made To stay with me 'til your dying day? Said you'd never go away Are they just things that people say? Are they just things, baby? [Verse 2] The preacher stopped by the house last Tuesday, asked if I was fine We sat and talked a while, he tried to make me smile But it's so hard to show my face 'round lately in this small town I guess they heard the news about me and you It's 3 a.m. and I can't sleep at all I wonder where you are tonight And do I ever cross your mind? [Chorus] What about the plans that you left behind? The little white house by the railway line The one we picked out We even put the payment down What about the promise that you made To stay with me 'til your dying day? Said you'd never go away Are they just things that people say? [Verse 3] Well, my mama won't stop crying She wonders what went wrong Could I have loved a little deeper? Or did I hold on too strong? Ooh Oh, no [Chorus] What about the plans that you left behind? The little white house by the railway line The one we picked out We even put the payment down What about the promise that you made To stay with me 'til your dying day? Said you'd never go away Are they just things that people say? Woah Are they just things, baby? Oh
