I've journeyed over the mountains just like that famous bear. I didn't realize it wouldn't get me anywhere. And now I'm tired of roaming this life is not much fun.
Oh I'm so surprised to see me here sittin' all alone. It's late and everybody's gone to their respective homes. I could go home I should go home but it's so dark and still.
Every night I stay out I swing and I shout like tomorrow won't ever come. But I lose my charm when I hear that alarm then I know what I've done. With an oversized head I'd like to stay in bed if I do I know I'll get fired.
I'm puttin' it together I'm gonna make it right. I'm gettin' it all together but it's been a fight. How come you have to treat me the way that you do.
I'm not so easy anymore you'll find it rougher than before. I guess you've noticed how I've changed since you've walked out the door. You say you made a big mistake but you're telling me too late.
Gas food and lounge and lousy detour signs. Coffee stops and concrete tired all the time. Smokin' and chokin' and closet smell like sole. But I'm hooked with my home on the road.
Got your face so pretty and your hair done right. Cause we're gonna do the town tonight. I'm comin' into town right on time I still got your lovin' on my mind.
I'm letting go up what used to be when there was love just you and me. It's like you said it all went wrong what's left to say I'll be moving along. Too bad too bad for me for you we planted love seed but nothing grew.
If I talk too much I won't mean what I say but I'll tell you this before you go away. If you destroy my world just leave the pieces where you drop 'em.
I know you're tired of being all I ever wanted. You'll no longer feel the love I have for you. What happens now what will I do with all these mem'ries.
Well, I'm through hurt and startin' today. And here's something I'd like to say. I know you'll be shocked and surprised. But I wish you try this song for size.
The first strange town I was ever in. The county was hanging a man. Nobody cared if he lived or died. And I just didn't understand. . So I washed my face in the morning dew.
My baby's gone I know she won't be back so I don't stand so weary I told her that. I've thought I had it made but I was wrong I guess I turned her every way but on.
I taught her everything she knows and then what did she do. She turned to someone else and taught him everythging she knew. The way to hold me close and kiss so tenderly.
My life began when I met you I lived while I was with you. Then died when you told me goodbye. Yes I died when you told me goodbye but I lived oh yes I lived for a while.
I keep looking back over my shoulder but the footsteps of a fool is all I see. I keep looking back over my shoulder. Hoping someday I'll see you smile and looking back at me.
Sometimes I'm so hurt and disappointed by the crazy things you always do. Then I'm packin' everything and I'm gone like before. But that's not all I keep coming back for more.
Don't let my leaving make you cry too hard. I know the things I said caught you off your guard. I never wanted all of you just one little part. I hope my kind of love didn't break your heart.
I know just how great love can be, I loved so much one time. I know how it hurts to see it end. I've had my share and if I live to be a hundred years.
Well, my eyes are open and my mind's awake. But from my neck on down, I'm asleep. I been on this road for so doggone long. They might have to cut me outa this seat.
