My Young Man's Heart

When you left town you were the girl next door
You came back different from that school up north
I stopped by with memories from a different time and place
You were cold and distant, a slap across my face

My young man’s heart was easily broken
Felt like the hurt would never go away
You were all I ever wanted
I found a stranger in your place

Should have known one day the end would come
I recall the first time I came courting
Your daddy stood behind you, took one look at me
Didn’t smile with his eyes, just with his teeth

You were sent to find a brand new sunrise
I become the boy you left behind
