There's A Limit Lyrics - Stonewall Jackson

In my troubled sleep my hands reach out to touch you 

But you're no longer there to greet my hungry hands 

Then I wake up and I cry out in the darkness 

And wonder how much more of this my heart can stand 

A man can stand so much hurtin' I've stood a lot that's for certain 

But without your love I'm bound to lose my mind 

I've cried so much I hurt all over the breakin' forty's gettin' closer 

There's a limit and I've almost reached mine 

[ guitar ] 

Once I had my pride and called myself a strong man 

But my strength and pride walked out the door with you 

Now this awful aching hurt keeps tearing at me 

It's killing me to think of you with someone new 

A man can stand... 

There's a limit and I've almost reached mine
