Shame Lyrics by The Bros. Landreth
Time was I didn’t think about it
These days it’s the only thing on my mind
I wouldn’t be here without you
And it breaks my heart to leave you behind
When objects they appear
Bigger in the rearview mirror
Your heavy foot finds the gas
Sure as the rising sun
You won’t outrun ’em
You best move over, let ’em pass
Shame, shame, shame
No wicked wonder
It pulled us under
Damn right pride came before the fall
Pulling at the seams of
Half hearted dreams
Unravelled till there’s nothing left at all
Your heads ringing like a bell
And it hurts like hell
You’re strung out a long way from home
You can fool the rest
But if I had to guess
Part of you is still waiting there alone
Shame, shame, shame
It’s a crying shame
When I hear your name
Shame, shame, shame
There is a shadow where you once were
I’ve got a hard time looking over there
It reminds me of my failure
An awful quiet and an empty chair
You always had my back
You were good like that
Wanted so bad to be a good man
Shame, shame, shame
It’s a crying shame
When I hear your name
Shame, shame, shame
