lyrics

Looking back on life I'm thinkin' bout you now
Where did you go, what did you do
Did you get high somehow
Well I been lookin' for you, searchin' high and low
Last time I seen ya, you were headin' for the door
And you said 'Never look back', so I tried to let it go
Now I'm thinkin' bout you too much, it's hurtin' on my soul
And you said 'La, La Ditty Da', and you say 'La, La Ditty Da'
Well on the day you left I really didn’t care
I stayed out late that night and drank a case of beer
I said the best for you, but I had my fingers crossed
Deep in my heart well I was hopin' you'd be lost
And you said 'Never look back', so I tried to let it go
Now I'm thinkin' bout you too much, it's hurtin' on my soul
And you said 'La, La Ditty Da', and you say 'La, La Ditty Da'
(Fiddle Solo)
Turn on the radio and hear our favourite song
I lay awake at night and wonder what went wrong
And when I think of you it feels like yesterday
Well ain't it funny how the time just slips away
And you said 'Never look back', so I tried to let it go
Now I'm thinkin' bout you too much, it's hurtin' on my soul
And you said 'La, La Ditty Da', and you said 'La, La Ditty Da'
