For Someone Special

Well, I thought you'd be back on the track
But I guess I was wrong, man
For the look in your eyes was the same
Empty high that you'd shown
As I ran down the road I'd forgotten this load was upon you
So the band packed its bags and played on, goodbye
It's been years since I cried
But this feeling inside really hurt me
And you know that we're loyal
Through the years of hard toil we stood by
But our licks' gotten better
I thought you could weather the good times
So I guess that it's hard to leave
Bad times and downers behind

So it came down to sayin'
You haven't been playin' for so long
That our heads caked with rust
And the dust of a million sad sighs
In the mornings I've tried
To reach down inside
And push that nightmare away
Now I'm glad that it's over, it's over
Now I can play
