What You're Headed 4
© 2000-2016 by Sharlene Holt

Well, I have this good friend
And he asked me why
All the time lately
I've been leavin' him behind
He looked at me, and then, with tears in his eyes
What he told me, it took me by surprise, He said,

CHORUS
I don't know what I will do
When you're not mine anymore because
I have seen other guys with you
And I know what you're headed 4

We used to play in the creek by the school
Way back in the woods where the air was moist and cool
The sky was blue patches on a canopy of green
The hottest summer days always seemed just like a dream

Oh, what I'd give to feel again
Like I never had no need to understand
Just wanderin' through those days as friends
And comin' home with sneakers filled with sand
Yeah, he said

CHORUS

Growin' closer, or goin' far away
It seems like nothin's free no more
And nothin' seems to stay
Well, I had a lover but just the other day
When I found a phone number on his table, I said to him, well

CHORUS (twice)
