She turned 21 in April,

You know her birthday's the same as mine

She was young and so confused

She got caught up in the bright lights

The whiskey, pills and all those late nights

From the mountain where we standing,

She fell so far that she could not see

Said catch me if you're able

But I'll be moving fast and I'm still hard to find

So I wont call you and I wont follow

Cause the truth is hard to swallow

Said I'd pick you up, but I'd only let you down.

Heard from a friend you moved back to Corpus
Am G
You always loved that ocean air

I know that you know that I'm headed down that way

Dont worry cause I wont call

It'd be strange for me to see you

You know there's so much left unsaid

Took that letter then I watched it burn away
