Faded Away

Standing on the street corner
I watch the world go by
and I start to wonder
everybody's busy
no time to take a rest
its no wonder
I still see you riding on that pony
looking for all the world like your in your glory

You've faded away
like a gin soaked rodeo clown
faded away
like a painting on the ground
your the only one
I'll never miss

I still see you riding high
in the back of my old chevy
learned a lot about life in that car
man it was heavy
I still see your blonde hair shining in the moonlight
blonde has turned to grey
as though your in your twilight

now your faded away
like a gin soaked rodeo clown
faded away, like a painting on the ground
your the only one
I'll never miss

time has gone by and I now sit
on the porch with my daughter
talk about life and what means to each other
I still see you riding that damn pony
time has gone by now I realize your so phoney

and you've faded away
like a gin soaked rodeo clown
faded away
like a painting on the ground
your the only one
I'll never miss
