Lyrics
What I Meant to Say
words and music by Kim Wilson (Alador)
I said how ya been, how's the family
I hear you're workin' with your uncle Jim
Well I guess that keeps you pretty busy
You always were hard workers, you and him
I said I just came back to close the house up
We auctioned off the furniture today
With my folks gone, the old place looks so lonely
I don't suppose I'll be back around this way
What I meant to say was how I've missed you
My love for you has never been so strong
What I meant to say was please come with me
I don't know how the words could have come out wrong
I guess this ole town has some memories
But I've always dreamed of movin' on
I guess the last of my ties here are broken
I may look like here but I feel like gone
They say a wandering heart will grow weary
I don't know so much about all that
There's a lot of things out there that I haven't seen yet
I've got walkin' shoes and a travelin' hat
But what I meant to say was how I need you
You're the words to every song
What I meant to say was please come with me
I don't know how the words could have come out wrong
I've been out in Reno since last Christmas
Naw, I don't gamble, I just work
When I left home I thought I was such a big man
Now I see that I was just a jerk
Sometime the city is a hard place
Seems like everybody wants to make you bleed
But you know me, I can be just a little bit stubborn
My independance is everything I need
What I meant to say was how I love you
I don't know why I waited for so long
What I meant to say was please come with me
I don't know how the words could have come out wrong
I don't know how the words could have come out wrong
