George Jones - THE GRAND TOUR/ALONE AGAIN (1999) by George Jones (보컬) on maniadb.com

Step right up, come on in
If you'd like to take the grand tour
Of a lonely house that once was home sweet home
I have nothing here to sell you,
Just some things that I will tell you
Some things I know will chill you to the bone.

Over there, sits the chair
Where she'd bring the paper to me
And sit down on my knee
And whisper oh, I love you
But now she's gone forever
And this old house will never
Be the same without the love
That we once knew.

Straight ahead, that's the bed
Where we'd lay in love together
And Lord knows we had a good thing going here
See her picture on the table
Don't it look like she'd be able
Just to touch me and say good morning dear.

There's her rings, all her things
And her clothes are in the closet
Like she left them
When she tore my world apart.

As you leave you'll see the nursery,
Oh, she left me without mercy
Taking nothing but
Our baby and my heart.

Step right up, come on in...

Darlin', dearest darlin'
Put you arms around me, Baby please
Darlin', dearest darlin'
Kiss me one more time before you leave.

If you must go be on your way
Before I start in beggin' you to stay with me
I'm getting weak from being strong
And the first thing you know I'll be down on my knee.

Darlin', dearest darlin'
Always in my heart and in my thoughts
Darlin' dearest darlin'
Having loved you once I'll never stop...

Would you look at what,
Came down the road today.
Wantin' me to be one more,
Mistake to make.
A bridge to burn,
To get to someone new,
Hey, pass me by,
If you're only passin' through.

You sure look like,
The travelin' kind to me.
Don't stop if this,
Ain't where you want to be.
Now, I don't know what,
You think you've run into.
Hey, pass me by,
If you're only passin' through.

I'm not gonna be,
Your stepping stone.
Among the other hearts,

That you walk on.
Lord, help me if I,
Fall in love with you,
Hey, pass me by,
If you're only passin' through.

You sure look like,
The travelin' kind to me.
Don't stop if this,
Ain't where you want to be.
Now, I don't know what,
You think you've run into.
Hey, pass me by,
If you're only passin' through.

Hey, pass me by,
If you're only passin' through.

If she's not with the one she loves
She'll love the one she's with

I'll tell you why I'm always near
And not far from her kiss
For if she's not with the one she loves
She'll love the one she's with

I love her more than I should
She needs more to exist
'Cause if she's not with the one she loves
She'll love the one she's with

I can't help the way I feel
And she can't help how she gives
'Cause if she's not with the one she loves
She'll love the one she's with

'Cause if she's not with the one she loves
She'll love the one she's with

> The weatherman just said there's gonna be stormy weather
I guess he's right I feel it in the air
He said it'll be sometimes before it gets any better
The way I feel I just don't even care.
The forecast on this love of ours don't look much better
'Cause lately we've been havin' troubled times
There ain't much chance in clearin' the chilly winds are nearin'
There's trouble brewin' in this heart of mine.
'Cause I can see the clouds of doubt are hangin' low overhead
And the hurricanes of jealously are just around the bend
Well, I can feel the rains of sadness fallin' on this heart of mine
Only we can bring fair weather back and have love one more time.
Well, I believe to my soul the weatherman is goin' crazy
'Cause I just felt a ray of warm sunshine
She just walked in and kissed me and said how much she'd missed me
We're gonna have good weather one more time.
'Cause I can see the clouds of doubt no longer hang overhead
And the hurricanes of jealously have all come to an end
Well, the rain is gone and there's a rainbow in this heart of mine
No more stormy weather now there's sunshine one more time.
No more stormy weather now there's sunshine one more time.
(Yeah)

I'm her world and she revolves around me
Just being close to me makes her love grow
Each night she thanks God for the day she found me
For when she came home this morning she told me so

And there's roses blooming in the Artic Circle
Icebergs in the Gulf of Mexico
And there's not one star in heaven and eight don't follow seven
But I'd believe it if she told me so

I know people say she has a lover
Referring to this man she's come to know
They're just friends she loves him like a brother
And he's never even kissed her she told me so

And there's roses blooming in the Arctic Circle
If she told me so

Well, I thought you'd found your happiness
Right here lovin' me
I thought my life was so complete
But how wrong can one man be.

You were the perfect deceiver
Yes, you knew just what to do
So who will I be loving now
Cause, I won't be lovin' you?

You told me that you loved me
And that you were satisfied
I couldn't see the truth 'cause I
Had love all in my eyes.

And now you've found another
And it tears my heart in two
So who will I be lovin' now
Since I won't be loving you?

So tell me where I'll go now
Tell me what I'll do
Who's lips will I be kissin'
Since I won't be kissin' you?

Well, I feel so lost and helpless
How can I start anew
So who will I be loving now
Since I won't be lovin' you?

So who will I be loving now
Since I won't be lovin' you?

He embarrasses his child and wife
Lord, he leads a miserable life
But still he thinks the bottle is his right hand

Yes and he can tear down more
Than he's ever built before
A man can be a drunk sometimes
But a drunk can't be a man

He lets your business lag behind
For the nightlife he can find
Why he does all this he'll never understand

And in the morning when he wakes up
Lord, he can't wait to fill his cup
A man can be a drunk sometimes
But a drunk can't be a man

For he goes from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde
He seems proud to have the devil for his guide

Still he keeps on reachin' out
Lord, he needs a helping hand
But a man can be a drunk sometimes
But a drunk can't be a man

Yes, a man can be a drunk sometimes
But a drunk can't be a man

Oh well, I remember back in my younger days of high school
Back then baseball was my biggest dream
But when I stood in line for my turn at bat
I found that wasn't where they wanted me at
I wound up totten the water for all the teams

Well, there ain't nobody gonna miss me when I'm leavin'
There ain't nobody ever loved me very long
No matter how much I miss our show
I get kicked around everywhere I go
There ain't nobody gonna miss me when I'm gone

But when my uncle Sam called me to serve my country
I stood up brave and smiled and packed my duds
But to my surprise when I got there
They gave me the boots and they cut my hair
I wound up scrubbin' the floor and a peelin' spuds

No, ain't nobody gonna miss me when I'm leavin'
There ain't nobody ever loved me very long
No matter how much I miss our show
I get kicked everywhere I go
There ain't nobody gonna miss me when I'm gone

Well, I met me a pretty little girl there in Nashville
I loved her more than all of my wildest dreams
She took me for my money, my house and my boat
And didn't even leave me a goodbye note
I gave it all up, boy, did she strip me clean?

Well, there ain't nobody gonna miss me when I'm leavin'
There ain't nobody ever loved me very long
No matter how much I miss our show
I get kicked around everywhere where I go
There ain't nobody gonna miss me when I'm gone, when I'm gone
There ain't nobody gonna miss me when I'm gone

I've tried everything I know to make you happy
Never knew someone could be so hard to please
Loving you is hard and I'm not sure I'll make it
But at least I've learned I would stand on my own two knees

I've still got my pride it's just that I misplaced it
Anyway it's better lost that no one sees
Maybe I'm not strong enough right now to hold you
But at least I've learned I would stand on my own two knees

It wasn't long ago you have me crawling
Oh but look how far I've come can't you see
Well I know it's still not walking tall but I'm trying
And at least I've learned I would stand on my own two knees

Yes I know it's still not walking tall but I'm trying
And at least I've learned I would stand on my own two knees

Oh, I love her and just can't live without her
And I've got the urge to tell the world about her
But our love's a secret and can't see the light of day
But I went and wrote this love song anyway

Her name is, her eyes are
Her hair is just like, and she measures
But someday I'll fill in the lines when she and I are free
And we'll walk in the sunshine and me

Oh, it really is a scandal and disgrace
To have to call your woman what's-her-face
But her husband thinks he owns her heart and soul for life
And he'll kill the man who messes with his wife

Her name is, her eyes are
Her hair is just like, and she measures
But someday I'll fill in the lines when she and I are free
And we'll walk in the sunshine and me

Yes, someday I'll fill in the lines when she and I are free
And we'll walk in the sunshine and me

Her name is

No, I don't know the girl at the bar in the short red dress
I haven't had the chance to get acquainted with her yet
But I can tell that she's lonely by the sadness in her eyes
And she needs more than just a drink tonight

She needs me to give her love and understanding
Some good old country love and nothing else
She needs me to throw my loving arms around her
And tonight I could use some love myself

Each time she turns up the glass
She drinks a memory from the past
And sadness becomes a teardrop in her eye
But she won't have to leave alone
'Cause tonight I'm takin' her home
Wrapped up in these lonely arms of mine

For she needs me to give her love and understanding
Some good old fashioned love and nothing else
She needs me to throw my loving arms around her
And tonight I could use some love myself
Yes, tonight I could use some love myself

I can bring you back anytime I want to
I remember an angel in your veil of white so fine
You were always very near, well, I think that you're still here
It's so reads in the diary of my mind.

On the first page there we are down by the river
With the flowers bloomin' in the warm sunshine
Speaking love words, soft and sweet and as our lips slowly meet
We're together in the diary of my mind.

Yes, I can bring you back anytime I want to
Even though you've been gone a long, long time
Oh, I just close my eyes and then I realize
You're right there in the diary of my mind.

On the next page I can smell the yellow roses
You brought to this world our baby girl so fine
A princess for the queen, I was such a happy king
You're both still here in the diary of my mind.

Yes, seasons come and mistakes I don't like to remember
But history shows that kindoms fall with time
Mistrust and deceit and the bottle it brought defeat
That's the last thing that's in the diary of my mind.

But I can bring you back anytime I want to
Even though you've been gone a long, long time
I just close my eyes and then I realize
You're right there in the diary of my mind.

You're still here in the diary of my mind
