That same moon that we watched so many nights Still hangs in the August sky My rear view mirror is still slanted to the side From when I could look in it and see your eyes Everything just keeps on driftin' by Like a tube on that river, you and I And the only thing that I can't clearly see Is why you left Texas and me Every time that I play this old guitar I wish I was still playin' it for you I still can't think about that dusty hill country Without feelin' just a little blue And I knew just lookin' at you my rear view would only show me The back of my seat in the days to come But these days just take forever, I can't believe this month is over And you just keep slippin' further away
