One among the three of us is always in the way. People talk but still I walk like a queen with all her charms. When I'm alone I know what's wrong he's somewhere in your arms.
I live one day at a time I dream one dream at a time. Yeasterday's dead and tomorrow is blind I just live one day at a time. Guess that's your surprise to see me back at home.

The old gang's gone I'm the only one that's left. And I guess that it's about time I move on out myself. . Cause there ain't no use in hangin' round a town that's grown so cold.
I walk around imagining the way she say goodbye. And when she tries to tell me I hope that I won't cry. No sad songs for me soon our love will be just a memory it's all over.
I was learning how to fly when I left Boise City. Like summer I was headin' for the fall. Now the bitter taste of truth it's gettin' hard to swallow. For a country boy who thought he knew it all.
You don't want no more heartaches. And I don't want no teardrops. What else is love to talk about. Cause I ain't yours you ain't mine. The song don't fit and the words don't rhyme.

Okay kids, I'm gonna sing you a song now. 'Bout a monkey and an elephant. It's all happened a long time ago. Whenever I say "a long time ago". You all jump in there with me.
I bought a ring and gave it to your daughter Mrs Jones. She promised me that she would be my wife. But after she had talked to you she gave me back my ring.
Way down in the State of Georgia. Amongst the swamps and everglades. There's a hole in Tiger Mountain. God help the man who gets lost in Miller's Cave.
I remember it now we were kids back then living down on the farm. We were told that the city could only bring us harm. Well how far away is the city you know that's a great big town.
I saved up my money to buy my sweetheart some flowers. For Saturday's date and I restlessly counted the hours. And today in the mail I received a short little note.
Busted flat in Baton Rouge. Waitin' for the train. Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans. Bobby thumbed a diesel down. Just before it rained. Rode us all the way to New Orleans.

People starin' at me as they wheel me down the ramp toward my plane. The war is over for me I've forgotten everything except the pain. Thank you sir and yes sir it was worth it for the old red-white-and-blue.
I'm a man of constant sorrow I've known trouble all my days. I'll say goodbye and leave tomorrow and I won't be back this way. . Misery is nothing new to me memories will fade in time.
