You pretend you don't see you say just let things be
And perhaps she'll come back to stay
You tell friends you still care that is just as she's there
That you love her so much more each day

But after awhile the pain stops hurting after awhile the heart cries no more
After a

Love is where you find it when you find no love at home
And there's nothing cold as ashes after the fire is gone

The bottle is almost empty the clock just now struck ten
Darling I had to call you to our foreout place again
We know it's wrong for us to meet but the fire's gone o

Ain't you even gonna cry
Hey I’m walking out the door
You may never see me many anymore
Ain't you even gonna cry

I've taken all that I can take
My heart’s broken all a heart can break
Staying out would be a big mistake
So I'll be leaving here for my heart’s sake

Alabama your beautiful sunlight your fields are so recent potatoes and corn
Alabama your crimson red clover all mingle around the old place i was born
Alabama your hills and your valleys your creeks sing with laughter as onward they flow
Alabama so sweet in the springtime sweet ferns

All the things that i denied saying everyone had lied
That i could never ever do these things to you
I confess now that you're gone they were right i did you wrong
And all the lies you've heard about me are true
It was easy at the start to fool your trusting heart
But i didn'

When we're all alone dear and i'm in your arms are you teasing me
When you're telling me how you thrill to my charms are you teasing me
Are you untrue when i'm not with you when we're apart are you free
Tell me darling while our love is still young are you teasing me
[ steel ]

Though I can't come to see you every day
It just happened things turned out that way
But that don't mean you're not the apple of your daddy's eye
And as long as there's a Sunday I'll come by
As long as there's a Sunday your daddy's here
Though I think about and love you all t

Well now it takes more than a robin to make the winter go
I know it takes two lips of fire to melt away the snow
Well it takes two hearts a cooking to make a fire grow
And baby you've got what it takes

Yeah you know it takes a lot of kisses to make a romance sweet
Uh it tak

My life was empty so blue and alone
Then you've put your hand in mine and i knew why i was born
Born to love you born to love you born to share your smiles and tears
Born to be near if you need me dear born to love you till i die

I used to wonder what life held in store
The

Got in a little trouble at the county seat
Lord they put me in the jailhouse for loafing on the street
When the judge heard the verdict i was a guilty man
He said forty five dollars or thirty days in the can
That'll be cash on the barrelhead son you can make your choice you're tw

There's a woman in the kitchen there's a baby in the crib
I've got a pipe and slippers the glass I hold is filled
I'd look just like a family man if you went by the signs
But I'm just playing prince tonight the castle isn't mine

This easy chair you see me in belongs to someone

She's a come and get it mama and i'm a never have to call me twice man
She sure spreads a good table fittin' for this here man
Any time she calls me i come a runnin' just as fast as i can
She's a (come and get it mama) and i'm a never have to call me twice man

Sometimes i'm goi

Dear heart wish you were here to warm this night

My dear heart it seems like a year since you went out of my sight

A single room a table for one it's a lonesome town alright

But soon i'll kiss you hello at our front door

And dear heart i want you to know i'll leave your a

Did you ever not so much that you could notice
Could you estimate how many eight or nine
Will you do it anymore as soon as you walk out the door
I just wondered did you ever all the time

Could i fix you one small no thanks i just had one
Then how about a nice big that would

I thought I'd call to see how you been doing
I don't hear much about you anymore
Don't know what made you cross my mind because I caressed all the time
I don't miss you the way I did before

It's funny this is when you chosed to call me
Because today I was thinking about you

If you're gonna break my heart little woman do a good job this time
Tell me lies and keep me crying drive me out of my mind drive me out of my mind

Ever since the day we met you cause me nothing but pain
You'd leave for a while and then you'd come back to you it's all been a game</

While sleeping on my shoulder your lips have softly spoke his name
And with those two arms around me you're still not close to me
Your morning smile reveals that he was with you in your dreams
Why must you let him keep on walking on the edge of your mem'ry
I know you tried but he

Even the loser likes to dream
Sometimes my lips pretend that they're touching yours again
Then with open arms i whisper your name
Then my misty eyes grow dim for i know that you're with him
But even the loser likes to dream
Even the loser still dreams of his old sunshine i cl

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

Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine

Old heart of clay why do you let her mold you this way
She'll try to shape your life and make me over don't you see
Old heart of clay why do you let her change you this way
The things she'll do to remake you will surely ruinin' me
Everytime i turn around there she is pushing you<
