Our past is always present where my future is concerned. And I'd found the doors all locked to me, no matter where I turn. I can't even build new mem'ries when your mem'ry's here to stay.
I'm the other woman you've heard about. The one that you can't understand. You've heard how I cheat, you've heard how I lie. But have you heard how I love that man.
Won't you tell me if you can what's the matter with a man. When he starts stayin' out all night. Should he hit him in the head with a pen or cornbread.
We danced in the night dear a night of delight dear and I gave a white rose to you. But then in the dawn dear the sun found you gone dear. A white rose may crashed him to do.
Just like some breeze you've drifted back again. You didn't bother to imform me you knew I'd let you in. I thought I knew it all but I'm still learning.
I'm gonna take the next bus on back to Georgia. I'm gonna spend every night right there in my honey's arms. I'm gonna let the sun warm me in the morning.
So many beautiful stories are told. Of love and affection, that's purer than gold. They meet and they love, and he makes her his wife. And wife can't last this a mystery of life.
If you gave me the moon in the heaven and added a star or two. It couldn't compare with the love we share cause my world is you. No no one has ever had a feeling like the one I have for you.
You ask me how long I've been drinkin'. And livin' this honky tonk life. Well, listen girls, I'll tell you my story. I'm a mother that was once a happy wife.
My mama didn't raised no fools no mama didn't raised no fools. You didn't give me credit but it's time you knew my mama didn't raised no fools. You know back alleys like an old tomcat you know I ain't a puttin' up with that.
The baby cries, I could almost die from lonesome. The late shows gone and the coffee's on, I think of each song. Somewhere out there my love, you share.
When the sun in the mornin' peeps over the hill. And kisses the roses round my window sill. Then my heart fills with gladness when I hear the trill. Of the birds in the treetops on Mockin' Bird Hill.
Old memory, keep him remembering me. Behold him constantly while we're apart. Old memory, don't ever set him free. Make him keep loving me, beholds my heart.
Big Jimmy Baker and Marty Gray met at a teenage party. Jimmy took Marty to school the next day both of them were tardy. Sittin' in the parking lot talking over things waitin' for the morning bell to ring.
You're goin' out again tonight. And you'll end up gettin' tight. Then when your money's gone. You'll come crawlin' home to me. . You'll think you're quiet as a mouse.
Yes his love takes good care of me yes his love takes good care of me. When the rain falls the wind blows the storm is on the sea. I'll be safe his love takes care of me.
So long we've been married, last burden we've carried. Though fate kept us humble and made our love true. But plans that we'd make up, someone seems to break up.
They said the boy that loved me would win the world some day. But I was young and foolish and I just couldn't wait. A rich man offered me the moon and all the stars above.
Sometimes he finds me standin' in front of my mirror. And he laughs as I turn to side to side. First I feel so silly but then he reaches for me. And I see that look of lovin' in his eyes.
If you think her eyes're brighter look at mine. If you think her lips are softer look at mine. If you think her love is stronger don't you wait around much longer.
