"One Thing I Ain't Been" lyrics

"One Thing I Ain't Been"

I've been a highway child, a thousand miles
On these well-worn Red Wing boots
I've been to hell, I've been to Houston
But I got back to my roots
I've been up, I've been down
Off the deep end into Coke and Crown
Been a little lost, a little found
Just looking for the truth

There ain't a stone I've left alone
If it was there, I turned it over
I don't look back, but look at that
You got my head over my shoulder
Making me finally see
Why everything I tried to be
Left me wanting more
'Cause the one thing I ain't been
Is yours

I've been settled down but I saddled up
Told a good girl adiós
I gave her a list of reasons
But now I really know
Why I've been lonely searching
Wondering why nothing ain't working
Been a hard lesson to learn that
Nothing else comes close

There ain't a stone I've left alone
If it was there I turned it over
I don't look back but look at that
You got my head over my shoulder
Making me finally see
Why everything I tried to be
Left me wanting more
'Cause the one thing I ain't been
Is yours

But I'd sure love to change that
So hey, what do ya say that
We take a walk down that road?

There ain't a stone I've left alone
If it was there, I turned it over
I don't look back but look at that
You got your head right on my shoulder
Making me finally see
Why everything I tried to be
Left me wanting more
'Cause the one thing I ain't been
Is yours

Yours
Yours
