Thirteen years of grievin', lying make believin'
Before she found the nerve to say we're through
All my years of playing on the road, left her with a heavy load
And longing for the life that she once knew
Broken promises and guitar strings, missin' all the little things
It takes to make a house into home
I'd call her every chance I had, keep it all from turning bad
I guess she spent too many nights alone
Faded love the game is over
Misery River don't step over, an old love that used to mean the world to me
Broken heart and worried mind, move on somewhere down the line
With this old Martin box and that girl's memory
I'm in Tyre singin' songs, sure can make the night seem long
Ninety miles before I hit the stage again
Thinkin' back to days gone by, and I have to wonder why
As I reach into the case for my old friend
Faded love the game is over
Misery River don't step over, an old love that used to mean the world to me
Broken heart and worried mind, move on somewhere down the line
With this old Martin box and that girl's memory
Faded love the game is over
Misery River don't step over, an old love that used to mean the world to me
Broken heart and worried mind, move on somewhere down the line
With this old Martin box and that girl's memory
