It's a Shame Songtext
von Hayes Carll

The time has come, there is no second chance
We? ve been drifting on an empty aching sea
You were the girl I never knew I wanted
I was the boy you hoped you? d never see

And it? s a shame that we ain? t lovers
We could have been somethin? so big and grand
Just kissin? for hours underneath that sweet magnolia
Beggin? for answers, tryin? to make a stand

Been burnin? up the hours, talkin? to the midnight
Just dreamin? of ways I could hold you next to me
But maybe it just wasn? t meant, all things have a reason
Maybe our hearts were just to careless and free


And it? s a shame that we ain? t lovers
We could have been somethin? so big and grand
Just kissin? for hours underneath that sweet magnolia
Beggin? for answers, tryin? to make a stand

There was a time, when you would have had me
There was a time I could have had you
But it? s too late, another path has come and gone again
I′m at the back door with a broken window view thinkin?

And it? s a shame that we ain? t lovers
We could have been somethin? so big and grand
Just kissin? for hours underneath that sweet magnolia
Beggin? for answers, tryin? to make a stand

I'm tired of writin? but I can? t put down my pen
It? s too late now to talk or turn back
So just hold on, cause baby, here we go again
Headin? the wrong way down that one way track


And it? s a shame that we ain? t lovers
We could have been somethin? so big and grand
Just kissin? for hours underneath that sweet magnolia
Beggin? for answers, tryin? to make a stand
