Patty Loveless - Pieces Of The Ground lyrics

I took a drive along the west bank of the shore

I thought of what you said then I thought some more

You say your life is all but chiseled out in stone

And all you want is just a taste of the unknown

Think it was yesterday I called you on the phone

You say you need a change, I recognize the tone

Buy me a ticket please, to anywhere I'll go

I'm not saying what is right or what is wrong

I'm just thinking you've been hanging here too long

So, why don't we, just up and leave it all behind

Maybe a change would ease your mind

For a time, leave it all behind

What I really want to do is see you smile

Hear you talk and let me listen for a while

There's too much going on to keep it all inside

You try to whisper, but you start to scream and shout

What you need is just a place to let it out

(Chorus)

You try to whisper but you start to scream and shout

What you need is just a place to let it out

(Final Chorus)
