    Story Behind the Song
    Coming to the end of what was for most of my travelling companions, our first of many European tours, the words to the chorus kept going through my head. Kind of a preminition of things to come...going our separate ways, though plans had been made, surely they were made to be broken, and then come around again when we would least expect them. Upon our return home to Nashville, I was visiting with a heartbroken friend, and that was all it took to usher in the verses. Remaining true to the lyrics, it took us a while before actually recording. But it is always a pleasure making music with Andy...if you can find him. He's probably on his way to Europe again as I write this now.

    Lyrics
    I grew old so I could be smart,
    I got smart so I could sacrifice.
    I sacrificed so I could get more
    of what I wanted to get out of life.
    I got more so I could lose it all,
    Just to try and get it back again.
    But getting back makes me feel so small,
    Cause I'm back where I don't want to be again

    Postponed Promises, Delayed Dreams (3x)

    I'm so sure of what I'm fighting for
    I'm never sure of where or when
    My ship comes in, do I climb aboard,
    Just to go back where I've already been?
    What am I sacrificing for?
    I'd better think again.
    I'm always knockin' at the same door
    But it's a different place when I'm walkin in

    Repeat Chorus

    Don't know if I can take anymore
    My heart refuses to mend
    Yeah, we've agreed we can't agree before
    Let's just agree that we have reached the end
    Is this what I'm sacrificing for?
    I'd better think again.
    I'm always knockin' at the same door;
    I look so different when I'm crawling in.

    Chorus
