Turnpike Troubadours Forgiving You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Did you take my love to the heavens above
Or to Denver or some mountain city?
Render my heart with the hand of an artist

[Verse 2]
Hey now, I'm stocked for the drought
I'm settled in, there ain't no getting out
Hey now, don't you know where that leaves me?

[Chorus]
Learning in kind, the voice in my mind
Ain't never been mine all along
Forgiving you is a thing I can do
No matter what you have done wrong
[Verse 3]
I relate to it all as a whippoorwill calls
Lovesick and open about it
Lonesome for home that I left long ago

[Verse 4]
And finally I did, I put in my bid
For a life I kept quietly under my lip Finally I did, like a starry-eyed kid

[Chorus]
Learning in kind, the voice in my mind
Ain't never been mine all along
Forgiving you is a thing I can do
No matter what you have done wrong

[Verse 5]
At the old county line, see the logging road signs
They run through the country like veins
The red oak and hickory and dogwood and pine

[Verse 6]
Hey now, there's no need to hide
No one could find you now, not if they tried
Hey now, where does that leave me?
[Chorus]
Learning in kind, the voice in my mind
Ain't never been mine all along
Forgiving you is a thing I can do
No matter what you have done wrong
