There goes my only possession. There goes my everything. . I hear footsteps slowly walking. As they gently walk across a lonely floor. And a voice is softly saying.
I was sittin' in the terminal waitin' for my load. When a greenhorn driver came in off of the road. I heard him tell that foreman get my little pink slip.
When time was young we walked the road together. When love was sweet I meant the world to you. Now comes the sun we'll say goodbye forever. And teardrops will kiss the morning dew.
Oh, I might as well be talking to the wall. . I've known so long, with me you've been unsatisfied. So I finally found the strength to say goodbye. Why already I forgot a million memories.
I supposed I ought to say congratulations. For you've won the only girl I'll ever love. But I've hurt too much to face the situation. Just take good care of her take good care of her.
Well I've always been a real free hearted kind of a feller. I've been known to give away the shirt right off of my back. To buy drinks and dance with every little girl that look lonely.
This ol' smoke filled bar is something I'm not used to. But I gave up my home to see you satisfied. I just called to let you know where I'll be living.
Me and a buddy named Cisco. Went down to sip some suds. First thing, you know me and old Cisco. Ran through fifty bucks. . We got caught in a card game.
We're caught in a trap, I can't walk out. Because I love you too much, baby. Why can't you see what you're doing to me. When you don't believe a word I'm saying.
I see the town where we were born I see the place we were raised. I see all the things you wanted that I never gave. I see sadness I see sorrow I see pain on your face.
(Stand at your window some night). Again let me see the one who is holding. The best part of me. (Stand at your window some night). Look at my side of town.
SON OF THE SOUTH. Writer Bill Anderson. . I was born eatin' gravy and black-eyed peas. Cracklin' bread and turnip greens. Washin' 'em down with a big.
Sometimes I get to thinking of another time. When we hide so little but you were mine. But now so much is changed and all the price the years have caused.
Well I pulled out of Pittsburgh a rollin' down that Eastern Sea board. I got my diesel wound up and she's runnin' like a never before. There's a speed zone ahead alright I don't see a cop in sight.
The Levi's that I'm wearing have been good to me. They just won't admit they're growing old. And though my shirt's made contract with a gutter now and then.
Just because I asked a friend about her. Just because I spoke her name somewhere. Just because I rang her number by mistake today. She thinks I still care.
Well, you ask me if I'm happy, if I have peace within. If I'm worried about tomorrow when I reach my journey's end. Well, I'm satisfied with my Jesus, when He knocks, oh let Him in.
There's a place down the street we call Sam's Place. It starts a jumpin' every evenin' when the sun goes down. You can always find me here down at Sam's Place.
Don't give me no come on glances. You don't know how slim your chances are. I've been picked up and been put down. This heart of mine's been shoved around.
Well, I feel tears wellin' up cold. And deep inside like my heart's sprung a big break. And a stab of loneliness sharp. And painful that I may never shake.
