The Button
(Gram Parsons / Mike Ward / Eddie Dumbar / Eddie Cunningham) 
Released on The Gram Parsons Notebook - The Last Whippoorwhill

Harmlessly searchin’ for somethin’
I could feel things around me were wrong
Unravelled from the shirt of my ri
val
Lay an item I happened upon
In a room where we spent lovin’ evenings
A button was covered from sight
A secret so cleverly hidden
Proved her lies no longer are white
Travelled and torn, tempted and tortured
But through it all I’ve been true
When it ca
me to choosin’ ‘tween cheatin’ and losin’
I never dreamed it’d be you
Is there any hope in forgiveness
When you’re dreams are gathering dust
Is there any future to treasure
Where there ain’t no measure of trust
Travelled and torn, tempted and tortured
But through it all I’ve been true
When it came to choosin’ ‘tween cheatin’ and losin’
I never dreamed it’d be you
Oh, when it came to choosin’ ‘tween cheatin’ and losin’
I never dreamed it’d be you
Oh, oh, I never dreamed it’d be you
