Old Friend

Forgiven not forgotten, the stars are made of sin The past is steady knockin, don't you let it in Forgiven not forgotten, the stars are made of sin The past is steady knockin, don't you let it in Is it so hard to believe That you could ever love me? I'm no Doctor I'm no Dean I'm no Martin I'm a little more Baldwin baby Is it so hard to believe That you could ever love me? Oh I'm no Doctor I'm no Dean I'm no heartache But there's a little darkness underneath So hear me now Where you been? Hear me now, where you goin? Back to that old town And that old country road? Hear me now old friend Forgiven not forgotten, the stars are made of sin The past is steady knockin, don't you let it in If you hadn't been there, how else would you know? How could you have got here unless you had the road? A little boy went walkin, out into the world You'd hardly think to mark him, plainly he did go He happened on a hunger, that grew into his mind And soon it rang like thunder, shook him from inside The past is steady knockin, don't you let it in A figure at the gatepost, you can't be sure it's him The road is out before, your feet are made of lead The question needs the answer, but it hasn't got it yet Is it so hard to believe That you could ever love me? I'm no Doctor I'm no Dean I'm no heartache But there's a little darkness underneath
