If I needed you

Fall for her and feel the pain

Fuel the burn of lovers flame

I held you close as the band they played

Forgotten words of the promise made

Would you come if I needed you

I've been waiting for you, there was nothing to do 

I told my heart I'd be true

We're just two lonely hearts drifting worlds apart I'm missing you

Would you come if I needed you

I'm far from home with nowhere to go and I need you here right now

You're far from me, I'm begging you please, I just need you here right now

I'm far from home with nowhere to go and I need you here right now

I can't believe it that you let me go, 

You're the one and only I will never know

I don't believe it, you can see it, 

We're far too far from home

Sixteen on a crowded street, I watch from a distance as the people you meet engulf the innocence, abuse your ignorance

Ten years and a wedding ring, at least that's what it should've have been. You dropped the kid and don't look back

Years pass but you stay the same, overridden by your guilt and the shame of the life he wrecked that wasn't yours

Standing still, tasting this bitter pill. Won't feel fair, it's your burden to bear

Your daughter's smoking cigarettes and loading her six gun,

While the boy who writes you letters would you even call him son

Cause you are the lucky one

Yes you are the lucky one

Meet up when the day is free he's a lawyer she just got her degree. Thats how it could've been, instead they're suffering

Look back at the life they've led, hearing voices in the back of their head but the voices they're here and they've never met

Your daughter's smoking cigarettes and loading her six gun,

While the boy who writes you letters would you even call him son

Cause you are the lucky one

Yes you are the lucky one

And it's not your fault but you still blame yourself

You just though he'd stay in sickness and in health

Your daughter's smoking cigarettes and loading her six gun,

While the boy who writes you letters would you even call him son

Cause you are the lucky one

Yes you are the lucky one

We're on the path that never ends

Where people break and people mend

Share the road along the way

Where many go and many stay

Dreams of our past

Forge the memories that last

As brother we'll stand

And we'll rule this land

We've fought the strongest tides

And at times it's hurt our pride

From the rights of common men

If we die, we'd die again

Dreams of our past

Forge the memories that last

As brothers we'll stand

And we'll rule this land

I'd fight for you, there is nothing that I wouldn't do

I've cried for you, there is nothing that I wouldn't do

I'd die for you, there is nothing that I wouldn't do

I'm on my way

Dreams of our past

Forge the memories that last

As brothers we'll stand

And we'll rule this land

From the Isle of Skye, to the coasts of Barra

Dumfries to Dalry, you know I'll find ya

I've been searching for somewhere to call my home

And I've found what I've been looking for

A whiskey dram, I sit and wonder

Wherever I am, I hope I'll find her

I've been searching for someone to call my own

And I've found what I've been looking for

I lost my way for a while, finding my way back home (back home)

And I've been searching, searching for you

Guitar on my back, the bar is heavin'

No need to pack, no I'm not leaving

I've been searching for someplace to call my home

And I've found what I've been looking for

Oh I'll meet you there, I'll meet you in the highlands

Oh I'll meet you there, I'll meet you in the highlands

Until I left alone

You were the only thing I'd known

But since then I have grown

A cowboy with his gun 

Those were the days where we'd have fun

But now those days are gone

Friends that we'd know

Where'd the time go

I've learnt my rights and wrongs

And I wrote my songs (on my)

Bedroom floor with posters on the wall

I'd lie awake in bed with these thoughts in my head

I should've known to wait for sunlight

Friends that we'd know

Where'd the time go

The time that went slow

Where did it go

We didn't dream of fame

It wouldn't be the same cause

They'd know our name

A new city everyday

We'd pack and go away when

We'd want to stay

And I'd dream of summer
