Vidalia - Sammy Kershaw

You found me all alone You helped me build a home I had tried before Couldn't pick myself off of the floor And then you came Whispered my name You found me You found me in a dream Tangled, lost at sea I had tried before Always found myself looking for more But then you came Whispered my name You found me You found me all alone You helped me build a home I had tried before Couldn't pick myself off of the floor And then you came Whispered my name You found me

I tried to be happy i tried to be free I tried to accept you accepting me And i tried to escape the fate awaiting me And take times loose from my neck so i can breathe And this could be Just for fun, just for kicks Cause i've had one too many drinks And this heart cannot be fixed Cause i follow fear like faith And i'll dig until the day my life is saved My life is saved Saved Well i played up my virtue and hid my vice I'd only show you naughty if you first showed me nice Cause i thought i knew what a woman's work was I kept from view what you wanted most It was fun playing god And this could be Just for fun, just for kicks Cause i've had one too many drinks And this heart cannot be fixed Cause i follow fear like faith And i'll dig until the day my life is saved My life is saved Saved And this could be Just for fun, just for kicks Cause i've had one too many drinks And this heart cannot be fixed Cause i follow fear like faith And i'll dig until the day my life is saved My life is saved Saved Cause i follow fear like faith And i'll dig until the day my life is saved My life is saved Saved

We meet at the Broken Spoke Restaurant and Lounge I lit your cigarette then you wrote your number down. On the inside of a matchbook that was laying on the bar And a fire started burning somewhere in my heart I didn't see it coming, guess I didn't read the signs I just never thought you'd leave me after all this time. But today when I came home my key was hollow in the door And there was nothing but a worn out book of matches on the floor You took the bed; you took the dishes and the car And you broke my trust and you took advantage of my heart And you left me here with empty rooms and walls with holes, scars and scratches, If I find the strength to burn your memory down At least you left the matches. The color is old and faded; the cover's worn and stained I can still make out the numbers and the heart beside your name Until tonight they'd only lit a single cigarette Now one by one I'm striking them to help me to forget And everybody at the broken spoke They all thought my crazy story was a joke Now they're all out in the parking lot Staring at the smoke You took the bed; you took the dishes and the car And you broke my trust and you took advantage of my heart And you left me here with empty rooms of walls and holes, scars and scratches Now I found the strength to burn your memory down At least you left the matches. Baby all that's left of our love now is ashes Thank god you left the matches
