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      Chorus:   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      [ Chorus ]      I ain't been myself in years
