Ever since you left me I've done nothing but wrong.
Many nights I've layed awake and cried. We was so happy. My heart was in a whirl, But now I'm a honky tonk girl. So turn that jukebox way up high, And fill my glass up while I cry. I've lost everything in this world, And now I'm a honky tonk girl. I just can't make a right with all of my wrongs, Every evening of my life seems so long, I'm sorry and ashamed for all these things you see, But losing him has made a fool of me. So fill my glass up to the rim, To lose my memory of him, I've lost everything in this world, And now I'm a Honky Tonk Girl |

We used to go out walkin' hand in hand
You told me of the big things you had planned It wasn't long till all your dreams came true Success put me in second place with you You have no time to love me anymore Since fame and fortune knocked upon our door Now I spend all my evenings all alone Success has made a failure of our home [ fiddle - steel ] If we could share an evening now and then Perhaps we'd find true happiness again You'll never hold me like you used to do It's funny what success has done to you You have no time to love me... |

I just can't get it through my head
You love another now instead Can't make myself believe we're really through. I'm walking up and down the hall, talking to the silent wall I'll lose my mind before I'm over you. I think I've almost lost my mind I think about you all the time I'm going crazy yes I know and I don't have far to go The way you treat me is a shame but I'll keep loving you the same I'll lose my mind before I'm over you. I keep your letters, I should burn, I wear your ring, I should return But there's a million foolish things I do It makes me cry but you would laugh to know I kiss your photograph I'll lose my mind before I'm over you. I think I've almost lost my mind I think about you all the time I'm going crazy yes I know and I don't have far to go The way you treat me is a shame but I'll keep loving you the same I'll lose my mind before I'm over you... |

I watched you leave
That's how I know you're gone But this heart of mine Keeps telling me I'm wrong. I see your face Before me every night In this haunted house When I turn off the light. Sometimes I hear you Walk across the floor And my arms reach out To hold you like before. I live for all the things We used to do In this haunted house I filled with love for you. This haunted house I'm living in is killing me And the ghost of your love Won't set me free. Each morning finds me Crying and alone In this haunted house We used to call our home. Each morning finds me Crying and alone In this haunted house We used to call our home... |

You left me for the bright lights of the town. A country boy set out to see the world. Remember when those city lights shine down. That big old moon shines on your Kentucky girl. I swear I love you, by the moon above you. How bright is it shining in your world? Some morning when you wake up all alone. Just come on home to your blue Kentucky girl. Don't wait to bring great riches home to me. I need no diamond rings or fancy pearls. Just bring yourself, you're all I'll ever need. That's good enough for this blue Kentucky girl. I swear I love you by the moon above you. How bright is it shinin in your world? Some morning when you wake up all alone. Just come on home to your blue Kentucky girl. |

Dear Uncle Sam I know you're a busy man
And tonight I write to you through tears with a trembling hand My darling answered when he got that call from you You said you really need him but you don't need him like I do Don't misunderstand I know he's fighting for our land I really love my country but I also love my man He proudly wears the colors of the old red white and blue While I wear a heartache since he left me for you [ trumpet ] Dear Uncle Sam I just got your telegram And I can't believe that this is me shaking like I am For it said I'm sorry to inform you |

In a booth back in a corner
Where the lights are way down low In the arms of a man I hardly know. I let the devil take over this heart of mine When I lost your love, well, I almost lost my mind. I never thought I'd ever fall this low but here I am with a man I hardly know In a booth back in a corner Where the lights are way down low In the arms of a man I hardly know. I do the things a proper lady wouldn't do And it all started that first night when I lost you To see me now you wouldn't know me I'm changed so 'Cause here I am with a man I hardly know In a booth back in a corner Where the lights are way down low In the arms of a man I hardly know... |

Oh I might as well be talking to the wall
I've known so long with me you've been unsatisfied So I finally found the strenght to say goodbye Why already I forgot a million memories and leaving you was easy as could be But I might as well be talking to the wall when I tell myself I'm not missin' you at all Cause every time you come around I fall and I might as well be talking to the wall It seems there's not a day that some friends of mine Don't bring back the mem'ries I'll recall But I smile and say you know it's been a long long time And I hardly remember him at all But I might as well be... Yes I might as well be talking to the wall |

Darlin' when you told me you were leavin'
I thought that you were only foolin' me But here I am to face old blue tomorrow With a broken heart that's filled with misery. It seems that my world is through an end Just dreamin' of things that might have been Oh why, I don't get all sunshine bright Today's the darkest day of my life. (Oh, that's Grady Martin) Oh, how I wish that old scene is through It's always darkest just before dawn Then I'll know soon I'm gonna see the sunshine I just can't take this darkness, on and on. It seems that my world is through an end Just dreamin' of things that might have been Oh why, I don't get all sunshine bright Today's the darkest day of my life... |

How long did you think you could go on hurtin' me
And I'd be your fool and wait at home alone Well, you go out and have your fun like you are free Tonight I'll have some pleasures of my own. 'Cause a shoe goes on the other foot tonight We'll find out if two wrongs can make a right Tonight I'll push my heartaches out of sight 'Cause a shoe goes on the other foot tonight. Each time you walk out the door you walk on me And you leave the door wide open for the blues You fly away from me like you are free You must think there's wings upon your shoes. But a shoe goes on the other foot tonight We'll find out if two wrongs can make a right Tonight I'll push my heartaches out of sight 'Cause a shoe goes on the other foot tonight. Yes, a shoe goes on the other foot tonight... |

But tomorrow never comes No tomorrow never comes Now you tell me that you love me But tomorrow never comes... |

I walk the floor
Here in my lonely room The silence nearly kills me And I guess that it will soon. He left because Of things I've done and said And if loneliness can kill me Then I'm just as good as dead. If loneliness can kill me Then I might as well lay down A girl who could die anytime Shouldn't be a walkin' round. I'd better find a place To lay my head For if loneliness can kill me Then I'm just as good as dead. If loneliness can kill me Then I might as well lay down A girl who could die anytime Shouldn't be a walkin' round. I'd better find a place To lay my head For if loneliness can kill me Then I'm just as good as dead... |

I hear footsteps slowly walking
As they gently walk across a lonely floor And a voice is softly saying darling This will be goodbye forever more. There goes my reason for living There goes the one of my dreams There goes my only possesion There goes my everything. As my memory turns back the pages I can see the happy years we had before And the love that kept this old heart beating Has been shattered by the closing of a door. There goes my reason for living There goes the one of my dreams There goes my only possesion There goes my everything... |

I'm gonna wipe these teardrops from my eyes
There ain't no use for me to cry And there's some things I think I need to say I'll think about you every day, every day while you're away. I'll be true to you honey, while you're gone If you're not gone too long But if you're gone for a year or two It may be too long for me to be true. I might find somebody else 'Cause I get lonesome by myself I'll be the truest love you've known And for a while I'll stay at home. I'll be true to you honey, while you're gone If you're not gone too long But if you're gone for a year or two It may be too long for me to be true. Tomorrow you'll be gone I know So love me now before you go. We don't know What's farther down the road. There may be a detour sign To upset plans of yours and mine I'll be true to you honey, while you're gone If you're not gone too long. But if you're gone for a year or two It may be too long for me to be true. I might find somebody else 'Cause I get lonesome by myself I'll be the truest love you've known And for a while I'll stay at home. Oh yeah, if you're not gone too long... |

Your spell is on my baby and you've got me sorrow bound You don't really love him you're playin' around for fun Woman of the world leave my world alone You're the devil's woman that's what my man don't know Why I wear more in swimmin' than you wear to parties where you go There's a place I know where you should go for that's where you belong Woman of the world leave my world alone I don't know about the things the bright lights taught to you My country boy don't know them any better than I do I'll have to watch him hurtin' after you are gone Woman of the world leave my world alone You're the devil's woman... |

L-o-v-e l-o-v-e love
There couldn't be a bad word I haven't heard you say Don't you know the needs of any woman You speak words my ears have never heard of The only four letter word that you don't know is l-o-v-e love L-o-v-e a word you never use l-o-v-e your lips never choose It's enough to make a woman want to give of The only four letter word that you don't know is l-o-v-e love It would tear me all to pieces if you ever came to me With more to give than one robbed kiss at nighttime You'll never know the longing that my heart does The only four letter word that you don't know is l-o-v-e love L-o-v-e a word you never use... |

Well, I was born a coal miner's daughter, In a cabin, on a hill in butcher holler, We were poor, but we had love, That's the one thing daddy made sure of, He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar. My daddy worked all night in the Van Lear Cole Mines, All day long in a field a-hoein' corn, Mommy rocked the babies at night, and read The Bible by the coal-oil light, And everything would start all over come break of mornin'. Daddy loved and raised 8 kids on a miner' pay, Mommy scrubbed our clothes on a wash board every day, Why, I seen her fingers bleed, to complain, there was no need, She'd smile in mommy's understanding way. In the summertime we didn't have shoes to wear, But in the winter time, we'd all get a brand new pair, From a mail-order catalog, money mad from selling a hog, Daddy all ways managed to get the money somewhere. Yeah, I'm proud to be a coal miner's daughter, I remember well, the well where I drew water, The work we done was hard, at night we'd sleep 'cause we were tired, I never thought of leavin' Butcher Holler. Well, a lot of things have changed since way back then, And it's so good to be back home again, Not much left but the floor, nothin' lives here anymore, 'Cept the memories of a coal miner's daughter. |

And after that I saw the devil in your eyes With your sweet smooth talkin' ways you turned a flame into a blaze Then I'd've let you hang my wings upon your horns.

The alarm clock woke my sleeping but I lay there for a minute
With a million cobwebs clinging to my brain I stopped that bell from ringin' in the times it takes a heartbeat Then I settled back and closed my eyes again. I reached out for my baby for some early mornin' lovin' Then the terrible truth came staggering through my head There was just an empty pillow and the mem'ry of his kisses Baby wasn't there beside me in the bed. It's the morning after baby let me down It's the daybreak and the heartbreak that I found Only silence to torment me no strong hands to touch me gently It's the mornin' after baby let me down. There was nothing to hold on to but the sheets that fell around me And I started into trembling like a leaf How could he ever leave me he was more than just a lover And he knew all the ways to make me feel complete. I can taste the salty teardrops God it's gettin' hard to swallow Hope a glass of wine will take his love away Got no appetite for eatin' just a sick and empty feeling What a good for nothing way to start the day. It's the morning after baby let me down It's the daybreak and the heartbreak that I found Only silence to torment me no strong hands to touch me gently It's the mornin' after baby let me down... |

I told you that I'd never come around again
But here I am again, here I am again I said I'd never let you get me down again Here I am again here I am. Here I am, here we are The story's gettin' old I know I can't go on, to you But worse than bad, I can't let go. I said words I swore I'd never speak But again here I am again, here I am again I thought I could stay strong but I got weak again And here I am again, here I am. Here I am, here we are The story's gettin' old I know I can't go on, to you But worse than bad, I can't let go. And oh, the nights're cold And I could use a friend So here I am again Here I am again... |

You wined me and dined me
When I was your girl Promised if I'd be your wife You'd show me the world But all I've seen of this old world Is a bed and a doctor bill I'm tearin' down your brooder house 'Cause now I've got the pill. All these years I've stayed at home While you had all your fun And every year thats gone by Another babys come. There's a gonna be some changes made Right here on nursery hill You've set this chicken your last time 'Cause now I've got the pill. This old maternity dress I've got Is goin' in the garbage The clothes I'm wearin' from now on Won't take up so much yardage. Miniskirts, hot pants And a few little fancy frills Yeah, I'm makin' up for all those years Since I've got the pill. I'm tired of all your crowin' How you and your hens play While holdin' a couple in my arms Another's on the way. This chicken's done tore up her nest And I'm ready to make a deal And ya can't afford to turn it down 'Cause you know I've got the pill. This incubator is overused Because you've kept it filled The feelin' good comes easy now Since I've got the pill. It's gettin' dark it's roostin' time Tonight's too good to be real Oh, but daddy don't you worry none 'Cause mama's got the pill. Oh, daddy don't you worry none 'Cause mama's got the pill... |

The sun comes up and brings the dawn turn to day
The kids run out to play the game like kids all play To child the world is milk and honey a dime is a lot a can be money Oh, ain't it funny, now ain't it funny. Running barefoot through the fields in the rain Chasin' pretty butterflies in the lane The world's a mess and they wonder why Oh, what a pretty blue blue sky Gee, ain't it funny, now ain't it funny. The kids all say grown ups are strange and aren't they They teach their kids not to do as I do but as I say They cry for peace and then make wars And wonder what they're fighting for. Oh, ain't it funny, now ain't it funny? Oh, gee ain't it funny, now ain't it funny? |

I've seen him as he awakens in the morning
He reaches out his hand and without a word As his fingers softly fall upon my face He lights the flame of desire and makes me want him And love is the foundation we lean on All you need is love to ease your mind And does it have to be right to be called love When he gives me more loving Then a lifetime of looking could ever find And love is the foundation we lean on All you need is love to ease your mind And does it have to be right to be called love When he gives me more loving Then a lifetime of looking could ever find |

Now lately, I've been wonderin' honey, why you don't come home
At the end of the day when your work is through So yesterday, when the sun went down the moon rose on your trail It just dawned on me what sundown does to you. It just dawned on me what sundown does to you It puts a clear in your eyes somehow I could never do You wanna lean on the jukebox, sip on a cool one And hang around a place where you just might find one. It dawned on me what sundown does to you. Now honey, you know sundown falls on everyone When I say everyone well that includes me to So tonight when that old moon comes out You can bet I'll be cut out too It just dawned on me what sundown does to you. It just dawned on me what sundown does to you It puts a clear in your eyes somehow I could never do You wanna lean on the jukebox, sip on a cool one And hang around a place where you just might find one. It dawned on me what sundown does to you. Well, it dawned on me what sundown does to you... |

I'll dress up like a movie star and pretty up my hair And no one here is a gonna know what I'll be doing there I'll be swinging from a chandelier and bouncin' off the walls Instead of lovin' just one man I'm a gonna love 'em all And you'll say hey Loretta... |

There's trouble in paradise
I can see it and I know the signs so well I know he's out there and around it every day There's trouble but there won't be long 'Cause in the morning it'll all be gone Long gone, 'cause Lord I'm gonna love him Till the devil goes away Now I know about those devil women They'll set your lovers head to spinning And she's a demon she wants control But she ain't taken my mans soul She ain't taken my mans soul There's trouble in paradise I can see it and I know the signs so well I know he's out there and around it every day There's trouble but there won't be long 'Cause in the morning it'll all be gone Long gone, 'cause Lord I'm gonna love him Till the devil goes away There's trouble in paradise Lord I'm gonna love him Till the devil goes away |

I wasn't much more than a baby I thought he was a bear
The way my daddy carried me around They said I learned to walk while holdin' on to just one finger On the hand of a man that stands at six-foot-three Not old enough to understand the meaning of depression Just something people talked about a lot My daddy wasn't one that tried to make no big impressions Just one heck of a man that worked for what he got They don't make men like my daddy anymore Guess they've thrown away the pattern through the years In a great big land of freedom at a time we really need 'em They don't make 'em like my daddy anymore From the Johnson County coal camps to the hills of West Virginia My daddy hauled the timber for the mines Education didn't count so much as what you had born in you Like the will to live and a dream of better times Daddy never took a handout we ate pinto beans a bacon But he worked to keep the wolf back from the door And it only proves one thing to me when folks start belly achin' They don't make 'em like my daddy anymore They don't make men... They don't make 'em like my daddy anymore |

Sometimes at night while you're fast asleep
I lie there alone in the darkness and weep So sorry and sad but that's part of the deal when the tingle becomes a chill I never wanted to stop loving you I'll swear by the breath in my body that's true Ah but a woman can't help the way that she feels when the tingle becomes a chill You're so contented but for me it's all gone And though I pretend you just don't turn me on The body performs but the soul has no will when the tingle becomes a chill I never wanted to stop loving you... |

Lyin' alone in this big old bed
I got you on my mind I said when you left I could make it by myself But it gets harder all the time And I can't take it no more I see your face Every time I close my eyes So I'm goin' out now And I'm lookin' for you Some winter night I want you out of my head And back in my bed Before the mornin' sun comes up I can't stand another night Without holdin' me tight How I miss your lovin' touch I'm goin' searchin' Everywhere that a you might be When I find you I'm a bringin' you home with me I want you out of my head And back in my bed Before the mornin' comes Well I might find somebody new To share my misery But no other man Can do what you can When it comes to lovin' me I don't want nobody to say that I was a fool For bein' cool I won't be satisfied till you're back in my arms And I'm lovin' you I want you out of my head And back in my bed Before the mornin' sun comes up I can't stand another night Without you holdin' me tight How I miss your lovin' touch I'm goin' searchin' Everywhere that a you might be And when I find you I'm a bringin' you home with me I want you out of my head And back in my bed Before the mornin' comes I want you out of my head And back in my bed Before the mornin' sun comes up I can't stand another night Without you holdin me tight How I miss your lovin' touch I'm goin' searchin' Everywhere that a you might be FADES- A when I find you I'm a bringin' you home with me I want you out of my head And back in my bed Before the mornin' comes |

I've got your picture that you gave to me
And it's signed With Love just like it used to be The only thing different the only thing new I've got your picture she's got you I've got the records that we used to share And they still sound the same as when you were here The only thing different the only thing new I've got the records she's got you I've got your memory or has it got me I really don't know But I know it won't let me be I've got your class ring that proved you'd care And it still looks the same as when you gave it dear The only thing different the only thing new I've got these little things she's got you I've got your memory |

He takes me to the places you and I used to go
He tells me over and over that he loves me so He gives me love that I never got from you He loves me too his love is true why can't he be you He never fails to call and tell me I'm on his mind And I'm lucky to have such a guy I hear it all the time And he does all the things that you would never do He loves me too his love is true why can't he be you No he's not the one who dominates my mind and soul And I should love him so cause he loves me I know But his kisses leave me cold He sends me flowers calls on the hour just to prove his love And my friends say when he's around I'm all he speaks of And he does all the things that you would never do He loves me too his love is true why can't he be you |

There's no reason to look at me that way
Old memories won't let my love stay Your touch just leads me to an open door And when he touches me, I can't feel you anymore When he touches me, I can't feel you anymore He touches me with so much love I never felt before Goodbye's on the tip of my tongue But now that leaving you has come And when he touches me, I can't feel you anymore You're so late with your new plans for two He had lots of nights to love me away from you But the first time that he touched me I was sure When he touches me I can't feel you anymore When he touches me, I can't feel you anymore He touches me with so much love I never felt before Goodbye's on the tip of my tongue And now that leaving you has come And when he touches me, I can't feel you anymore Anymore |

You're the reason I'm a-ridin' around on recapped tires.
And you're the reason I'm hangin' our clothes outside on wires. And you're the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin' Ah, but looks ain't ev'rythin' and money ain't ev'rythin' But I love you just the same. You're the reason I've changed to beer from soda pop. And you're the reason I never get to go to the beauty shop. You're the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin' Ah, but looks ain't ev'rythin', and money ain't ev'rythin' But I love you just the same. I guess that we won't ever have everything we need 'Cause when we get ahead it's got another mouth to feed And that's the reason that my good looks and my figure is gone. And that's the reason that I ain't got no hair to comb. And you're the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin' Ah, but looks ain't ev'rythin', and money ain't ev'rythin' But I love you just the same I guess that we won't ever have everything we need 'Cause when we get ahead it's got another mouth to feed Conway, why in the devil don't you go And shave and put on a clean pair of pants? But Loretta, look at yourself. Now I wish you'd take them Curlers out of your hair and go put on a little makeup And get out of that housecoat before supper. Ha, well let me tell you something, Conway, considerin' everything that I went through today, I look like a movie star. Eh-he-yeah, Ruth Buzzie. Thankyee. Besides that, all our kids took after your part of the family, anyway. Oh they did, huh? What abouts the ones that's Bald? (Laughs) Well, I guess you could say they take after me... (laughs) (laughs) |

In a hot dusty bar room in town
That old jukebox plays the honky tonk sound You might think that I'm crying, Lord I am But I'm trying to get over what's over and through I've got a picture of us on my mind Sweet, sweet scenes of once upon a time I can't picture myself with anyone else I've got a picture of us on my mind From the pockets of his ragged old jeans He paid the preacher after we said I do I think of good times we've known That were as good as he's gone This glass of red wine feels good going down I've got a picture of us on my mind Sweet, sweet scenes of once upon a time I can't picture myself with anyone else I've got a picture of us on my mind I've got a picture of us on my mind Sweet, sweet scenes of once upon a time I can't picture myself with anyone else I've got a picture of us on my mind |

He rode in with the sunset and turned the TV on
We didn't talk through supper and I went to bed alone I was softly awakened by a touch of ecstasy Was I only dreamin' or did he make sweet love to me Who was that stranger that rode through here last night? He slipped into our room when I turned out the light Who was that stranger with my ring on his hand? Whoever he was I hope he'll ride this way again This morning over coffee, that look was in his eyes His touch was so familiar when he kissed me goodbye I watched him through the window and as he rode away He left me with a memory that I dream about all day, yeah Who was that stranger that rode through here last night? He slipped into our room when I turned out the light Who was that stranger with my ring on his hand? Whoever he was I hope he'll ride this way again I know that stranger that rode through here last night I bet you a dollar he'll be back home tonight |
