Jem Baker

Gone are the days my sister

That I could hold you when you cry.
...

I'm just a blank sheet of paper
This fool's about to write you a letter
To tell you that he's sorry
For the way he did you wrong
...

In another’s eyes
I’m someone who
Loves him enough
To walk away from you
...

Yes, my body is old
But it’s not the real me.
The real me is as young as you
In fact the real me never changes.
...

Like birds on a high line
They line up at night time at the bar
They all once were lovebirds
Now bluebirds are all that they are
...

Without me
Maybe you'd find somebody else
A little wiser
With a lot more wealth
...

Johnny's daddy was taking him fishing
When he was 8 years old
A little girl came thru the front gate, holding a fishing pole
His dad looked down and smiled, he said we can't leave her behind
...

The cover of a magazine, nothing but a paper dream
Just another fantasy for sale
Telling me what I need, what I should do, who I should be
That stuff don't matter to me at all
...

My mum is my best friend

The one who’s always there
...

I was standing
At the end of my rainbow
Nowhere to go
And no pot of gold in sight
...

He is the one I look to

The one I run to
...

She was my friend

The best I ever had.
...

Late nights, mad parties.

Telephone calls sleep over parties,
...

Why do I love you?

I don’t even want to.
...

Well, it took a little time
But I guess you finally learned
That promises get broken
And bridges do get burned
...

That night will live forever
Their first time to lie together
They were finally where desire dared them to go
Both belonging to another
...

I never had no one
I could count on
Ive been let down so many times
I was tired of hurtin
...

He'd popped the clutch on that old red Ford
My daddy would holler and run to the door
Dust would fly as we flew down
That old gravel driveway
...

Burning bridges one by one
What I'm doin' can't be undone
And I'm always hoping someday
I'm gonna stop this runnin' around
...

Though it's true,
And I'm here for you.
There's things you've done,
That make me want to turn and run.
...
