Best Of Bread

Truckin' down the highway
Get outta my way
Always in a hurry
Always in between
That's where you can find me
Truckin' down the highway
Sittin' in the cab of
A ten ton machine

Gettin' pretty tired of stoppin'
In old run down cafes
Some day i'm gonna find me a woman
Rich enough to pay my way

Gonna make some inroads
Drivin' home a payload
Truckin' down the highway
Like you never seen

Gettin' pretty tired of lookin'
In truck stop cabarets
Some day i'm gonna find me a woman
Rich enough to pay my way

Then you're gonna find me
Truckin' down the highway
Sittin' in the back of
A long limousine

I found her diary underneath a tree.
And started reading about me
The words she's written took me by surpise
You'd never read them in her eyes.
They said that she had found the love she waited for.
Wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it.

When she confronted with the writing there,
Simply pretended not to care.
I passed it off as just in keeping with
Her total disconcerting air
And though she tried to hide
The love that she denied,
Won't you know it, she wouldn't show it.

And as i go through my life, i will give to her my wife
All the sweet things that i can find.

I found her diary underneath a tree.
And started reading about me.
The words began stick and tears to flow.
Her meaning now was clear to see.
The love she'd waited for was someone else not me
Wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it.

And as i go through my life, i will wish for her his wife
All the sweet things that she can find
All the sweet things they can find

Too much sorrow
Too much pain
Too many reasons
No to go back again
Leavin' without her
Is too much to bear
But when we're together
Too much nothin' to share
But too much love
I've never seen
Too much love
I don't know what it means

Not enough caring
Too many lies
Sooner or later
One too many goodbyes
I got no reason
For hangin' around
And all my possessions
Start to weighin' me down
But too much love
I've never known
Too much love
I need some of my own

You sheltered me from harm.
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free, set me free
The finest years i ever knew
Were all the years i had with you

I would give anything i own,
Give up me life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything i own,
Just to have you back again.

You taught me how to love,
What its of, what its of.
You never said too much,
But still you showed the way,
And i knew from watching you.
Nobody else could ever know
The part of me that can't let go.

I would give anything i own,
Give up me life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything i own
Just to have you back again.

Is there someone you know,
You're loving them so,
But taking them all for granted.
You may lose them one day,
Someone takes them away,
And they don't hear the words you long to say

I would give anything i own,
Give up me life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything i own
Just to have you back again.

You have taken the heart of me
And left just a part of me,
And look, look, look what you've done.
Well, you took all the best of me,
So come get the rest of me,
And look back, finish what you've begun.

There is some one you ought to meet;
It's me, mister incomplete.
Look, at what i've become.
For it's due to the lack of you
That i'm now only half of two.
Look back, finish what you've begun.

Come and sit by my side
Where there's nothing to hide.
You will try to decide what you needed;
But from where i stand today,
I can't think of the way
Or the words that i might say
That will change your mind and make you stay.
Oh, no, not for all the times i've pleaded.

Look, look, look what you've done.
You have taken the best of me,
So come get the rest of me,
And look back; finish what you've begun.
I'll be done.

I told you before - don't you hear what i say
I won't take it no more - no more makin' me stay
Down on my knees - you know i'm down on my knees yeh
Yes i've been down on my knees
But i'm through beggin' please
I won't get back on my knees.

Nobody knows - what your puttin me through
Nobody knows - if it's worth it for you
Nobody sees - you got me down on my knees
Well i've been down on my knees
And i'm through beggin' please
Don't put me back on my knees.

You know how i always loved you
Never placed myself above you,

Don't let me go - if i wish that i could
Don't tell me no - if i wish that you would
Down on my knees - you know i'm down on my knees
Well i've been down on my knees
But i'm through beggin' please
Don't put me back on my knees.
