Left Behind Lyrics

Well he's gone to find his way again
He said he's lost his only friend
He's got a jar of cash to spend
He's running off just like he done before

And he made a stop down the track
He sold his favorite leather hat
He told the man he won't be back
And rounded out an old unsettled score

But ooh... this 'ain't the first time that I've been left behind

I'd cook his lunch and wash his clothes
He'd tend the fence and shoot the crows
And somewhere in there we got close
They say a handy man is hard to find

He bought the farm, I sold my car
He left me with a silver scar
He's colder then a steel guitar
He always said he ain't the loving kind

But I said ooh... this 'ain't the first time that I've been left behind

Well some days I cry like a child
Other days I ramble wild
He's got me so goddamn beguiled
And I don't even know his middle name

And he's been lost and found before
I've stopped waiting by the door
But I still love him to the core
I only wish that he could do the same

But ooh... this 'ain't the first time that I've been left behind

Well he don't call and he don't write
He slips on in after midnight
I never turn off my porch light
He always finds his way back my place

And I never ask him for a ring
But he gave my this old song to sing
And helped himself to everything
And now I'm here without a speck of grace

But ooh... this 'ain't the first time that I've been left behind
Left behind

Grace Potter & the Nocturnals is an American rock band from Vermont. Formed in 2002 in Waitsfield by drummer Matt Burr, guitarist Scott Tournet, and singer Grace Potter, they began their career as an indie band, self-producing their albums and touring extensively in the jam bands and music festivals circuit, playing as many as 200 gigs in a year. In 2005 they signed for Hollywood Records and have subsequently released albums encompassing rock sub-genres such as blues rock, folk rock, hard rock, and alternative rock. Their third, self-titled album (released in 2010) was a major commercial success, topping the iTunes charts and receiving international attention.

Grace Potter whose dynamic vocal ability has drawn comparisons to legends Bonnie Raitt, Aretha Franklin and Janis Joplin and more recently Sheryl Crow and Joan Osborne. Her unique style behind the Hammond B-3 and piano is also gaining widespread recognition. The original lineup included Scott Tournet (guitar/slide guitar), Matthew Burr (drums/percussion), and Bryan Dondero (upright/electric bass). After Dondero parted ways with the Nocturnals in March 2009, they brought in Catherine Popper (bass) and also added Benny Yurco (rhythm guitar).

They have toured with national acts such as Taj Mahal, Trey Anastasio, Dave Matthews Band, The Black Crowes, Derek Trucks, Gov't Mule and Robert Cray. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
