Patty Loveless Lyrics
"Here I Am"

(Tony Arata)

Don't do it darling
Don't you dare look in there
You said you didn't want to see me
But you've been lookin' for me everywhere.

And you know that you're gonna find me
If you keep on drinkin' fast
'Cause honey, I'm right there waitin' on you
At the bottom of your glass.

And here I am
Here I am
In the bourbon and the water
That burn you just like a brand here I am.

It ain't workin' darling
Hard as you may try
You keep hearin' the words you told me
In everyone's goodbye.

And you know that you're just one step
From another one being gone
I know I've seen 'em all unravel
I've been watchin' it all along.

Here I am
Here I am
In every lie you're hearin' that burn you
Just like a brand here I am.

And honey, I got over
You passin' me over a long time ago
And my pride was stronger when I was younger
Now I'd rather have you to know.

That here I am
Here I am
I still carry a flame for you
Burnin' me like a brand, here I am...
