I Ain't Been Myself In Years - Yonder Mountain String Band

There’s a voice blowing over the mountain

A voice I used to know

I’ll bet you ten it’s her again

That girl from long ago

She wanted California

Got Oregon I hear

Seems only fair to warn ya

I ain’t been myself in years

What’s left of it all went with her

Packed up in broken dreams

I’ll tell ya friend I loved her then

And I always will it seems

That evening breeze reminds me

So soft against my ear

Before she was behind me

I ain’t been myself in years

Sometimes I hear her laughing

Sometimes I see her face

Sometimes I think she’s coming back

To fix this broken place

So easy to see right through me

Too late to change my ways

I’ll tell ya friend I loved her when

I wasn’t in this haze

I ain’t been myself in years
