I've Been the One

Little Feat


I've Been the One Who Has Been Frightened 
And Almost Borne Away 
By the Very Thoughts That I Feared Yesterday 
And It Must Be Dust Or Smoke That's in My Eyes 
How Can I Cry About Something From Someone That I Won't See 

Oh My Friends All Say She Had Her Chance 
Let's Go Shoot Some Pool 
You Know a Fool Is Just a Fool 
And I've Tried Everything That Whiskey Cures 
But the Pain Endures 
And Now I'm Feeling That Pain 
I Put My Pride in My Pocket 
That's How I'll Spend My Loneliest Days 
And It Must Be Dust Or Smoke That's in My Eyes 

Don't Know What to Do 
Hold the Lamp Above the Rafters 
These Smoke-filled Rooms Will Not Replace Her 

I've Been the One Who Has Been Frightened 
And Almost Borne Away 
By the Very Thoughts That I Feared Yesterday 
And It Must Be Dust Or Smoke That's in My Eyes
