Precious Pearl Lyrics - Radney Foster

He left you behind 

The same way you left me 

Darling, I won't take pride 

Or bore you with some victory speech 

I didn't come around to try 

And pass judgment on you, girl 

I'm just back here 

Looking for a precious pearl 

A precious pearl 

That I let slip right through my hands 

A precious love 

That I have longed for ever since 

How'd a treasure so rare 

Get left behind somewhere? 

I was fool to let my anger blind me, girl 

So I'm just back here 

Looking for a precious pearl 

The good times we once shared 

Burned up with our last bridge 

And the past can't be repaired 

But we might start all over again 

So if you could use a old friend 

Back here in your world 

Darling, I'm just back here 

Looking for a precious pearl 

A precious pearl 

That I let slip right through my hands 

A precious love 

That I have longed for ever since 

How'd a treasure so rare 

Get left behind somewhere? 

I was fool to let my anger blind me, girl 

So I'm just back here 

Looking for a precious pearl 

Darling, I'm just back here 

Looking for a precious pearl
