Oh, the love you promised would be mine forever
I would have bet my bottom dollar on Well, it sure turned out to be a short forever Just once I turned my back and you were gone From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers I'm all through ever trusting anyone The only thing I can count on now is my fingers I was a fool believing in you, now you are gone It amazes me, not knowing any better Than to think I had a love who would be true Why, I should be taken out, tarred and feathered To have let myself be taken in by you |

Such a little time has passed since you went away
Where are all these heartaches coming from I can hardly stand the pain of missing you today And I know the worst is yet to come If there was something I could find to drive these tears from me Then I'd go right out and get me one I've already cried enough to fill the deep blue sea And I know the worst is yet to come There'll be all those sleepless nights when I'll just lay and cry And the hours seem to have no end There'll be days when it won't matter if I live or die Wishing I could have you back again If there was something I could find to drive these tears from me Then I'd go right out and get me one I've already cried enough to fill the deep blue sea And I know the worst is yet to come |

THE LONGER YOU WAIT
(Merle Haggard) ≪ ⓒ '65 Tree Publishing, BMI ≫ The longer you wait to leave me the longer I'll hurt when you're gone And the longer it takes you to break my heart the longer the pain lingers on How long will you prolong my misery wish I could leave on my own Cause the longer you wait to leave me the longer I'll hurt when you're gone We both know that you never loved me I lied to myself from the start We both know that someday you'll leave me and the knowin' just tears me apart How long will you prolong my misery... The longer I'll hurt when you're gone |

I'll look over things you do because I love you so,
And I'll be standing on the sidelines while you play. It's your life to live the way you want to live, And I'll look over you if you'll just let me stay. It's no fault of yours if I can't give the thrill you need, And I know someday you'll find someone who can. Though it hurts to see you stare at every guy you see, I'll look over you and try to understand. I'll look over things you do because I love you so, And I'll be standing on the sidelines while you play. It's your life to live the way you want to live, And I'll look over you if you'll just let me stay. |

High on a hilltop overlooking a city
I can see the bright lights as they gleam And somewhere you're dancing in some dingy bar room And the lure of the gay life takes the place of our dream High on a hilltop my heart cries, Oh Lord Forgive her she knows not the way And give me the power to believe and some day High on a hilltop together we'll pray I can vision a rounder with a line so smooth And a promise of riches for you But you see not the danger cause you're silly with booze And high on a hilltop I see a devil in you |

THIS TOWN'S NOT BIG ENOUGH
(Liz Anderson - Donna Austin) ≪ ⓒ '65 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI ≫ Today's the day I leave forever this town where we once loved together Now that love is gone I guess I'm free I'll leave behind both you and sorrow and take just what I'll have tomorrow When there's miles and miles and miles between this town and me This town's not big enough for both of us to be I can't go anywhere without your memory In every window pane your face is all I see This town's not big enough to hold both you and me I'll drop the dreams I've held so tightly shed my tears and travel lightly Anything to ease my heavy load I'll find a town in far-off places where the windows have no faces Many miles from anywhere along this lonely road This town's not big enough... |

Well not long ago I was a happy man
Money in my pockets with the rings on my hands My money's all Gone and I'm feelin' low Standin' on the corner of Skid Row My girl friend left me she don't want me no more We had a great big fight just a night before She said I got no class because she knows I've been hangin' around on Skid Row Well people walk by and they stop and stare They giggle and they stickle at the clothes I wear It's just another day like it always goes When you're hangin' around on Skid Row I got an old John Beam with the pain more through Got a great big hole in the bottom of my shoe My wine's all gone and I need some more Standin' on the corner of Skid Row Well people walk by and they stop and stare They giggle and they stickle at the clothes I wear It's just another day like it always goes When you're hangin' around on Skid Row |

Once I lived a life of wine and roses and
I drank a lot back then for one concern Success for me lay just around the corner I thought my social friends would help me make me turn But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses A victim of the drunken life I chose Now all my social friends look down their noses 'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me The turn I made was not the one I'd planned And I watched my social standings slip away from me While I watched the bottle slowly take command Now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses A victim of the drunken life I chose Now all my social friends look down their noses 'Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose |
