Heart to heart talks and moonlight walks. Receiving money by mail. A fireplace with a view and being here with you. Honey, sure beats laying in that Fort Worth jail.
When the road gets dark. And you can no longer see. Just let my love throw a spark, baby. And have a little faith in me. . And when the tears you cry.
Well it's three o'clock in the morning' y'all. Oh, and I'm biding my time. I want you to give me two more Mr. Waiter. 'Cause you know I got, I got a whole lot on my mind.
Givin' it up for your love - everything. Givin' it up for your love right now. Givin' it up for your love - everything. Givin' it up for your love right now.
Well it's three o'clock in the morning' ya'll. Oh, and I'm biding my time. Give me two more Mr. Waiter. You know I got a whole lot on my mind. Going back to Louisiana,.
When Loretta left me back here in St. Paul. My head started spinning, my heart hit the wall. And I gotta get it worked on, gotta get it worked on. Well, I don't think it's broken but it sure hurts a lot.
I learned to swim when daddy threw me in the river. The army taught me how to shine my shoes. The years have shown me that nothin' lasts forever. But everything I know about the blues.
Givin' it up for your love - everything. Givin' it up for your love right now. Givin' it up for your love - everything. Givin' it up for your love right now.

She's got a roof that don't leak. When the rain's pouring down. She's got a place I can sleep. Where I'm save and sound. She's got a lock on her door.
You got to cease and desist. You got to stop drivin' me crazy like this. I'm out of my mind most of the time. Now give me just one more kiss. . I've got a job to go to.
She comes sneakin' up thinkin' I'm sleepin', ya'll. And I met her at the back door. I handed her her suitcase, told her don't come back no more. She turned as she was leavin', and she looked dead straight at me.
Gonna sit right down in my easy chair. Pull out a deck of cards, play some solitaire. Break out a bottle, wash me a glass. To keep me company 'til the feelings pass.
She didn't bat an eye. As I packed my bag to leave. Thought she would start to cry. Sit around my room and weep. . But, oh, the girl. She fooled me this time.
I told you I was doin' just fine. Didn't need nothin' in this life of mine. Was havin' a good time just bein' free. But you smiled that smile and just wouldn't listen.
Well, it's finally sinkin' in, you ain't comin' back. I'll get my old guitar down off the rack. And sing the blues about you, baby, sing the blues about you, baby.
She's in a hotel, where, she won't tell. And it's damn well killin' me. If I could find here, I'd be kinder. I'd stand behind her like she used to do for me.
Caught a ride in South Dakota. With two girls in a light blue Desoto. One's names was Jane. The other was plain. But they both had racing motors. . Next I caught a ride with a gamblers wife.
Well, she go to see the baker when she wants a cake. She go to see the butcher when she wants a steak. She go to see the doctor when she's got a cold.
I see you're takin' it awful hard. It all came down around you like a house of cards. He's got a young thing and she's calling him, honey. But you got the house and all that alimony.
