Places In My Past Lyrics - Mud Slide Slim And The Blue Horizon - James Taylor

There are ladies in my life, 

Lovely ladies in these lazy days. 

And though I never took a wife, 

May I say that I have loved me one or two. 

Of the people in my past, fading faces 

In a waking dream, 

And though they never seemed to last very long, 

There are faces I remember from 

The places in my past. 

I said all the dead head miles 

And the insincere smiles. 

Sometimes I can laugh and cry 

And I can't remember why. 

But I still love those good times gone by, 

Hold on to them close or let them go, oh no. 

I don't know, I just seem to sing these songs 

And say I'm sorry for the friends I used to know.
