Album:

Raising Sand

Once I had myself a good woman

But I just didn’t treat her right

I was always leaving

Living the party life



True love was waiting for me

I was much too blind to see

Till she told me she would leave me

I said that’s alright with me



Oh, but now she’s gone

I realize I lost the best thing there is

And my pride keeps telling me

Let your loss be your lesson



Heaven knows I miss her loving

Heaven knows how much I cry

Just to think that she had left me

And I know the reason why



I could tell she had been crying

That didn’t seem to bother me

’Cause I know there’s no one blinder

Than a fool who just couldn’t see



Oh, but now she’s gone

I realize I lost the best thing there is

And my pride keeps telling me

Let your loss by your lesson
