"Only A Child" lyrics

I was just a baby
I was only a child

And you were just a lover
And you were driving my wild now and ya gone

And I was up in heaven
I was high on the clouds

Mama, let me down easy
Baby, don't let me down

Mama, let me down easy
Baby, don't let me down

And I was just a dreamer
You were only a dream

I woke up in the morning
I just laid there and screamed, Lord, that ya gone

And I was on the highway
Eating bad gasoline

Mama, let me down easy
Baby, don't make a scene

Mama, let me down easy
Baby, don't make a scene

I was just a man
Planting cotton for my granddad

Wake up early in the morning
Drive the tractor through the night

I saved my money
I'm gonna buy you a diamond for ya finger

Have some babies, start a family
Have a wedding, do it right

I saw her little pickup parked
Down by the tavern off the highway

Saw her kissing on a fella
From Amarillo tending bar

I started crying, started drinking
When I woke up I saw the TV

The bartender killed her daddy
Laid his body by the barn
