Only eighteen almost grown. Tryin' his luck away from home. The guitar in his hand won't leave his side. The way he plays he should go far. One day he'll be a record star.
I'll win no special honors I'll receive no world acclaim. And I'll never have a title for my name. Oh I should I win a purple heart for a coming back to you.
There's a place uptown where we hang around called Tootsie's Orchard Lounge. There's always a crowd and the music's kinda loud at Tootsie's Orchard Lounge.
Good morning heartache, you old gloomy sight. Good morning heartache, thought we said goodbye last night. I turned and tossed until it seemed you had gone.
I haven't been well in the last two days not since my baby up and walked away. Packed her things and just said so long that I won't be back this time I'm gone.
I'm saying goodbye like I have to do. I never thought I would say this to you. But there's just one thing I'd like you to do. Speak well of me to the kids won't you.
When day is done I hurry home and get back in my bed. Cause only in dreams can I relive the things that she once said. Once again she's in my arms and once again I'm king.
Got a new house with new lumber even got a new phone number. Did it all since we broke apart. Got acquinted with new faces started going to new places.
Sally used to carry my books to school Sally was a good ole girl. She helped me with my homework cause I was a fool Sally was a good ole girl. And if I wanted a kiss or a little bitty squeeze.

So you saw her last night with her new love yes they tell me they make quite a pair. And that they both look happy together I just wonder not that I care.
(What's gonna happen to the little folks who live in our house). We've decided we can't work it out we might as well call it a day. We've agreed to disagree and go our seperate ways.
When you said you were leaving tomorrow that today was our last day. I said there'd be no sorrow that I'd laugh when you walked away. But a little bitty tear let me down spoiled my act as a clown.
Did you ever sneak outside, when you weren't supposed to. Did you do those things you said you probably never would do. We've all told white lies and we've not been found out.
I know our love is over you've made it plain to see. But just for the record did you ever love me. I hope that you'll be happy cause I'm gonna try to be.
Fast cars and guitars to play. Who cares about the price we pay. Good jobs for big wads to spend. It's the priorities of this selfish world we live in.
Don't say no more Jeannie's waitin'. And I've always been as true as I could be. Your lips look so warm and inviting. I'd better leave Jeannie's waitin' for me.
It's not getting later. There's no common place. And everything's taken. With these expectations. Of getting this right. Who could avoid failure. . With hands tied behind my back.
You stole the one I loved ain't that true. But I hear someone just did the same to you. She left you flat without a reason why. Well it couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
I don't care what anybody thinks of me. My love will last much longer than their thoughts of me. I only know I need you that's all I know. And I'd fight the world before I'd ever let go go.
