Songtext From the word go Nelson

From the word go

I was a fool from the word go...

"go on and go", I had to say
"don't let the screen door hit you as you walk away,
Go ahead and make your brand new life.
I won't lose any sleep without you in mine."

Oh, what I wouldn't give to take it all back
I'd never ever say something crazy like that
I'd get down on my knees and tell you how I need you so
Oh, I was a fool from the word go

"go on and take our pictures down off the wall
(off the, off the, off the wall)
And pack up your cat-i won't miss that at all
Well, go ahead and take the dreams that we shared
You never look back-well, see if I care."

Oh, what I wouldn't give to take it all back
I'd never ever say something crazy like that
I'd get down on my knees and tell you how I need you so
Oh, I was a fool from the word go

"so go on and go", I heard myself say
In a moment of pride my world slipped away

Oh, what I wouldn't give to take it all back
I'd never ever say something crazy like that
I'd get down on my knees and tell you how I need you so
Oh, I was fool from the word go
From the word go...
