You Saw Me Comin’ Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, with my black leather hat on
With my heart torn in two
You saw me comin'
You knew what I would do
With a message in my waistband
With my trail covered in snow
You saw me comin'
Then you watched me go

[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you saw me comin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you saw me comin'

[Verse 2]
Yeah, there's ghosts and highway men waiting
‘Round every turn in this road
And you saw me comin'
To you, my innocence showed

[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you saw me comin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you saw me comin'

[Verse 3]
Like the hopеs and dreams of soldiers
Left on thе battleground
You saw me comin'
Then you let me down
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you saw me comin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you saw me comin'

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
