Don't be angry with me darling. If I fail to understand. All your little whims. And wishes all the time. . Just remember that I'm dumb. I guess like any foolish man.
By our house runs the highway only forty feet away. In the driveway sits the car that I could used to get away. Up the sidewalk comes the reason I'm still hanging on.
I got back in town a day before I'd planned to. I smiled and said I'll sure surprise my wife. I don't think I'll phone I'll just head on home. For I didn't know the cold hard facts of life.
I tried so hard my dear, to show that you're my every dream. Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme. A mem'ry from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart.
One more kiss before you go there'll be no harming that I know. And the kiss will help so much to heal the pain. I've tried so hard to make you see just how much you mean to me.
I don't know why I drink so much can't even stand the test. But liquid courage helps me through my day. If I take time to stop and think the booze just goes to waste.
Just last night my love said she was leaving. I sat right there and cried until the dawn. Then booze was added to the pain and heartbreak. The combination equalled trouble from then on.
If I ever find myself one day. Drinkin' in a dreamers cabaret. Dreams be what they seem.. Yeah I figured it must be nice. easy street in paradise,. without a care 'til the truth comes clean..
In the West Virginia hills there must be ten thousand still. And they found the biggest one outside of Blue Field. A little peaceful country town nothing else for miles around.
In a little country village not very far away. There lived a rich but aged man whose hair was turning gray. He had three sons three only ones both Jack and Tom were sly.
You can see the ad in the morning paper this house for sale the owener's leaving town. He won't need it any longer he'll like the price you'll give. For the big house on the corner where love used to live.
Reminiscing for a sweet love you can lose on track of time. You love someone and now they're gone you can slowly lose your mind. So be thankful if you're somewhere with that very special girl.
That whiskey and his wild wreckless way put my young daddy in an early grave. So many nights my mama cried and then I'd hear her pray. She'd asked the Lord to send her better days better days for mama better days.
I tried to give you all the love there is in me. The more I tried the more we disagreed. I'd break my heart or be a slave or die for you. Still the best I have is not enough for you.
I thought I had seen pretty girls in my time but that was before I met you. I never saw one that I wanted for mine but that was before I met you. I thought I was swinging the world by the tail I thought I could never be blue.
A story 'bout a pal of mine. Who worked down near the Georgia Line. He's a D.J. in a little country station. Everybody loved him dear. 'Cause he played what they liked to hear.
It hurts down deep when angry words are spoken. Because of this countless tears are shed. Much too often tender hearts are broken. When hasty thoughtless angry words are said.
The night wind whispers softly why did you do her wrong. In the distance there's a coyote hound sounds like his love is gone. My heart is chilled by whipporwill as the train pulls out with you.
All together now everybody drink (everybody drink). All together now everybody think (everybody think). Think of all those sweet words that turned out to be just lies.
If you think I want to please you if you're in my arms and squeeze you. Do anything but leave you you're right I need you real bad. If you think my heart is yearning for you to be returning.
