I was traveling down the road one day,as the sky began to rain
when I saw this grey haired man who was walking with a cane.
Well I could not leave him out there and still feel good inside
so I pulled off of the highway and I offered him a ride
He said,"thank you very much, my home is just a little ways
And as I drove he told this story of his life in younger days.
He stared off in the distance, and a change came over the man.
And with a look of sadness in his eyes, he finally began.
"When I was about your age, my best friend fell in love
and he valued it so greatly, he placed nothing else above.
For his lady was so beautiful, she set any man on fire.
Just to look into her eyes would fill the strongest with desire.
Many months they were together,and he loved her more each day
until business out of town called for him to go away.
He asked me to take care of her, he'd be back in a week or two.
I said sure I would be glad to, it's the least that I can do.
Now it was only five nights later since my friend had left us there
til he came back, because five nights was all that he could bear.
He knew exactly where the key was, and he opened up her door
He didn't think she'd mind, he'd done it many times before.
He just couldn't wait to ask her, no this question would not keep
He thought he would surprize her, as she awakened from her sleep.
So into the bedroom, he was hoping to see her face again
But when he switched the light on , he found his lady in the arms of his best friend.
I've never lived it down son", and the old man looked at me
"For all these years I've bore this burden that will not set me free.
The question that he would have asked, was for her to be his wife
But instead that night in Colorado, my best friend took his life."
Well by then I reached the old man's house, it was a broken down old shack.
He thanked me once again and said that I was welcomed back.
I did not reach my destinationI had changed my plans around
you see, I was going to see my best friend's girl, while he was out of town.
A few days later I went back to talk with him some more.
But I could see there was nothing inside, through a window be the door.
I had come there only to be surprized, and then I broke down in tears.
no one lived there and I realized, that no one had for years.
