I Would Have Married You - Tim Easton

As I move along the roadway

The Los Angeles highway

I travel all alone, sometimes fast

But mostly slow slow slow

And I think about you, I think about you

I met a girl named Mercedes

She was sweet and beautiful

She had a son

She could talk about him on and on

I just thought about you

I only thought about you

Of all the things that you said

You wanted to do

There was only one time

When I wouldn’t let you

Of all the things that you said

You wanted to be

I remember the last thing

That you promised me

You said «I would have married you»

When I first left you

I was proud and dangerous

I was alive, I was alive and alone

I never thought about you

I never thought about you

Well it wasn’t much later

I thought I woke up beside you

And I called out your name

But you were two thousand miles away

I cried about you, I cried about you

Of all the things that you said

You wanted to do

There was only one time

When I wouldn’t let you

Of all the things that you said

You wanted to be

I remember the last thing

That you promised me

You said «I would have married you»

I would have married you

First there were some bruises

Then we made excuses

I would never harm you

Someone had to warn you

Of all the things that you said

You wanted to do

There was only one time

When I wouldn’t let you

Of all the things that you said

You wanted to be

I remember the last thing

That you promised me

You said «I would have married you»

I would have married you

I would have married you
