All I Ever Wanted

All I Ever Wanted
By James Pullen

Lyrics
...
[Verse 1]
I’m a pothead from Georgia, just stuck in my own mind,
Lost in these backwoods, where the sun don’t always shine.
Since Laura passed, I’ve been a shadow of a man,
Counting empty bottles, tracing lines in the sand.

[Chorus]
All I ever wanted was a love that’s true,
Someone to hold me when the night turns blue.
But the world’s gone quiet, and I’m stuck in this song,
I guess being alone is where I belong.

[Verse 2]
No friends left to call, no hands to hold my pain,
They all drifted off like smoke in the Georgia rain.
I’m nice as hell, but kindness don’t seem to stick,
Maybe it’s me, or maybe life’s just a cruel trick.

[Prechorus]
I light one up, try to chase her ghost,
But the high don’t last where I need it most.

[Chorus]
All I ever wanted was a love that’s true,
Someone to hold me when the night turns blue.
But the world’s gone quiet, and I’m stuck in this song,
I guess being alone is where I belong.

[Bridge]
Laura’s laugh still echoes in the pine trees at dusk,
Her memory’s the only thing I know I can trust.
I keep walking through these fields, through this aching haze,
Praying for something to get me through these days.
