If you could look through the eyes that have been there. Then you'd see what I'm trying to tell you. And you'd know that no one's love could ever hold him.
I know that you've heard people say many many times. You don't pass through this world but once you'll get yours and I'll get mine. But I've got a philosophy I believe I'd rather go by.
It's true, you have me twisted around your finger. It seems that's where I belong. You know how to hold me. To thrill me and control me. . Just enough to keep me a hangin' on.
Goodnight me eyes it's closing time I just heard the lonely chime. The sun just caught us wide awake the third time this week. Please won't you mind let's try and get some sleep.
Go on with your dancing go on have your fun. You've hurt me the last time the damage is done. When I saw you kiss her my heart felt the same. So go on with your dancing and don't change a thing.
So faithfully you promised me we'd marry in the spring. A year has passed and now at last I see through everything. Just like a fool I let you rule this heart inside of me.
When the roads I travel seem all up hill and the colors in my rainbows turn blue. You kiss my tears away you smile at me and say funny face funny face I love you.
Franklin County moonshine is all you care about. You've got those orders comin' in and moonshine goin' out. If a revenue man ever hears about this boy you won't have a prayer.
[ duet with Ferlin Husky ]. Forgive me John but I don't love your brother I realize now that you're the only one. Write and tell me dear that you'll still have me if I undo the awful wrong I've done.
Don't look so sad I know it's over. But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning. Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together. There's no need to watch the bridges that were burning.
Your love is colder than a foggy river. Flowing o'er a heart of stone. You left me stranded on this foggy river. Drifting helpless and alone. . Can't escape this broken heart of mine.
You say, I need the rest. Why don't I go and see my sister way out west. That's very thoughtful of you, dear. And I'm really touched by all your tenderness.
You've gone away and left me here to cry you wouldn't even care if I should die. You've treated me like I was only dirt and left me just enough heart to hurt.
Don't make me a promise and then make me blue don't say you love me if it isn't true. Don't make me cry so much I can't see please don't take advantage of me.
Oh single girls don't be mislead by the lying tongue of a man. Who says he want you for his own when there's a wedding ring on his hand. Oh to the girl who falls in love and finds that he's worthless as sand.
Once he loved me now I'm dirt under his feet. I was sure I'd found a love I had searched for. The perfect love with everything complete. Then one day he went away with another.
When I met you long ago there were things I didn't know. But how was I to know how I would feel. When you made a goin' rough it made me see I had it tough.
Dear John, oh how I hate to write. Dear John I must let you know tonight. That my love for you has died away like grass upon the lawn. And tonight I wed another, dear John.
All my friends told me someday you'd leave me. But your sweet words of love were all that I could hear. It's so hard realizing you decieve me now I just live from day to day tear to tear.
I remember when I was a kid times were hard and things were bad. There's a silver lining behind every cloud. Just poor people that's all we were tryin' to make a livin' out of black land dirt.
