There are people who don't know me
Who must think I've got it made From all outward appearances I guess it looks that way I've got good friends and family They let me know they care I got a job to keep me going And a car to get me there I'm holding my own But I'd rather be holding you I can make it alone But not like I made it with you Without you here This house just aint no home How long can I go on holding my own There's brand new show that's playing At the movies down the street I'll probably go there after work Then stop somewhere to eat I've got cable on my TV And I'll leave her on all night While I dose off to sleep And dream that I'm alright I'm holding my own But I'd rather be holding you I can make it alone But not like I made it with you Without you here This house just aint no home How long can I go on holding my own How long can I go on holding my own |

Well, I haven't seen her lately, and she never calls.
She don't ask my friends about me, gives no clues at all. That a fire might still be burnin', yeah, But, I'd say she's about as gone as a girl can get. She don't even show up in my dreams at night, But my stubborn ol' memory keeps holdin' on tight. Sure makes it hard to forget She's about as gone as a girl can get. She's outta here, she disappeared without a trace. More or less unimpressed by the tears on my face. Her destination unknown, she just dropped out of sight, Last seen headin' right on out of my life. Like a stranger I ain't never met, She's about as gone as a girl can get, She's outta here, she disappeared without a trace. More or less unimpressed by the tears on my face. Her destination unknown, she just dropped out of sight, Last seen headin' right on out of my life. Like a stranger I ain't never met, She's about as gone as a girl can get, Like a stranger I ain't never met, I'd say she's about as gone as a girl can get... |

I know that I surprised you coming home,
It's not my usual time of year; but I've got myself a problem, And I know that I might find the answer here. Remember when I was dad's pride and joy and your little man, Every time that I got hurt you were there to give a hand. You would pick me up, and you'd kiss my hurt away. Remember what you'd say, "Boy you're getting more like him each and every day." Can we have a talk like it was yesterday? Your boy is back in trouble and he needs you right away. She says she's gonna leave me, momma. Nothing on God's green Earth would make her stay. I can't live without her, momma, But this time you can't kiss the hurt away. But if I'm so much like my dad, There must have been times you felt her way. So tell me word for word what he said that always made you stay. She says she's gonna leave me, momma. But if I'm so much like my dad, There must have been times you felt her way. So tell me word for word what he said That always made you stay. |

I was five years old
When daddy started packing And I stood there by my momma As she cried And the next thing that we knew Some old train came passing through And daddy got on board And we ain't seen him no more. I wonder why trains make me lonesome It happens everytime that engine moans some And when I hear that whistle blow It makes my heart sink low And I wonder why trains make me lonesome. It was a cold dark night When I drove her to the depot There were tears in my eyes And a ticket in her hand And as we stood there by those tracks I knew she wasn't coming back So I turned and walked away But I still miss her today. I wonder why trains make me lonesome It happens everytime that engine moans some Now, when I hear that whistle blow It makes my heart sink low And I wonder why trains make me lonesome. Those blocks looked like little stations Those ink spots look like engine No. 9 And this couch on which I lay Suppose to haul my blues away That old pipe you keep toking Is like an old coal engine smoking. I wonder why trains make me lonesome It happens everytime that engine moans some And when I hear that whistle blow It makes my heart sink low And I wonder why trains make me lonesome. Oh yes, I wonder why trains make me lonesome... |

What kind of a world would it be
For you without me Would you think its a better world, Or would you be lonely And if your love for me should die, Would you even say goodbye Or would you just walk away Into the dark of night. Sometimes I need assurance of your love All your thoughts and gentle touch Only kings are worthy of And at these times you take me by the hand Like a child you lead me through A wonderland of love. I can't visualize without you by my side, Life would be meaningless Like some of them skies Girl, you show me everyday, You're love in everyway I'm afraid it's all a dream, That'll favor your awake Sometimes I need assurance of your love All your thoughts and gentle touch. Only kings are worthy of And at these times you take me by the hand And Like a child you lead me through A wonderland of love A wonderland of love... |

Not so very long from now
She'll be known all over town 'Cause she waits by her phone from in the car She says the limit is the sky And tonight she's flyin' high But I'll hang around and take her faults and all. Oh' yes she once was mine Now she's changed and she's that kind With a crowd she has her self a ball But she's not that kind of girl She's just hidin' from the world But I'll hang around and take her faults and all. She's about as low as a girl can go She ain't got far to fall But when she hits the ground I'm gonna be around 'Cause I want her most of all And when all's been said and done I'm gonna be the one Who'll hang around and take her faults and all. She's about as low as a girl can go She ain't got far to fall But when she hits the ground I'm gonna be around 'Cause I want her most of all And when all's been said and done I'm gonna be the one Who'll hang around and take her faults and all. Yeah, I'll hang around and take her faults and all... |

Here we go again, she's back in town again,
I'll take her back again, one more time. Here we go again, the phone will ring again, I'll be her fool again, one more time. I've been there before and I'll try it, again, But any fool knows that there's no way to win. Here we go again, she'll break my heart, again, I'll play the part again, one more time. I've been there before and I'll try it again, But any fool knows that there's no way to win. Here we go again, she'll break my heart, again, I'll play the part again, one more time. I'll take her back again, just one more time... |
