Yes, I'll take you back again, you knew I would
For I go on lovin' you that's understood
But it's the first time you've come back with tears in your eyes
Lately someone's taught you how to cry

Someone had to teach you I didn't have the heart to
Hurt you just like you've been hurting me
Someone had to teach you things it's time that you knew
Now maybe you'll be satisfied with me

Someone took your heart and rubbed it in the dirt
And you look just like a puppy when it's hurt
But you had this lesson coming for so very long
Our sins all have a way of coming home

Someone had to teach you I didn't have the heart to
Hurt you just like you've been hurting me
Someone had to teach you things it's time that you knew
Now maybe you'll be satisfied with me


. . .



Some where up there beyond the blue
Surely by now somebody's missin' you
I found the angel they must be lookin' for
Heaven must be wondering where you are

When I look into your eye's
It's so plain to see
Nothin' here on earth describes what you mean to me
Out of this world when I hold you in my arms
Heaven must be wondering where you are

Lucky me to be the one to find
Someone like you this side of paradise
I know how lost I'd be without here sweetheart
Heaven must be wondering where you are

Some where up there beyond the blue
Surely by now somebody's missin' you
I found the angel they must be lookin' for
Heaven must be wondering where you are

I found the angel they must be lookin' for

. . .



So upset
Nervous wreck
I can't believe she said goodbye
Sit and smoke
Cry and joke
About these tears in my eyes

Chorus:
How could you do what you gone and done to me
I wouldn't treat a dog the way you treated me
But that's what I get
I've come to expect it from you

A million times
A million lines and I bought 'em every one
You don't care
You rip and tear every dream I've counted on
I guess I should thank my unlucky stars
That I'm alive
And you're the way you are
But that's what I get
I've come to expect it from you

Chorus

I could raise hell
But what the hell it wouldn't do a bit of good
I can leave
My heart agrees it seems to think that I should
There won't be no more next time doing me wrong
You'll come back this time to find that I'm gone

But that's what you get
You should expect that from me
That's what I get

. . .



I own this horse and saddle
And that old Cadillac
This broken down horse trailer
And the clothes that are on my back
Well I know that it ain't a hell of alot
But it's all that I can show

My wife left me five years ago
In one of those rodeo towns
I can't say that I blame her much
She just wanted to settle down
Oh God how I miss that woman
It hurt so to see her go
If I was smart I woulda stuck by her
But I'm hooked on this rodeo

Chorus:
And I'm just a Lonesome Cowboy
I'm a little bit over the hill
I shoulda quit this thing a long time ago
But I guess I never will
So I keep on movin from show to show
Hopin to change my luck
My good ol days are just a memory
But I just can't give it up

There was a time I used to do alright
And bring home my share of the dough
But now I'm losin out to the younger boys
I guess I must be gettin slow
But there's one thing you learn from this
You gotta make it on your own
Cause when your on top you've got a million friends
But when your down buddy you're all alone

Repeat Chorus

My good ol days are just a memory

. . .



They don't have words
To say how blue I'm feelin'
This ol' world can lift you up then lay ya' down
It's a mighty lonesome feelin'
When your lover's gone
This ol' town go's colder
When you're a man on your own

I keep walkin' the streets of this ol' city
Window shoppin' but I can't see a thing
Just a walkin' and a humin'
This lonesome song
This ol' town grow's colder
When you're a man on your own

O' look at them their smilein'
They don't know I'm here
They couldn't care less
If i just up and disappeared
O' there must be a reason
Why my nights are so long
It's a mighty lonesome feelin'
When you're a man on your own

Yeah it's a mighty lonesome feelin'
When you're a man on your own

. . .



I'm drinking champagne, feelin' no pain till early mornin'.
Dinin' and dancin' with every pretty girl I can find.
I'm having a fling with a pretty young thing till early mornin'.
Knowin' tomorrow I'll wake up with you on my mind.

Chorus:
Guilty conscience I guess, though I must confess
I never loved you much when you were mine.
So I'll keep drinking champagne feelin' no pain till early mornin'.
Dinin' and dancin' with every pretty girl I can find.
Havin' a fling with a pretty young thing till early mornin'.
Knowin' tomorrow I'll wake up with you on my mind.

Chorus:
Guilty conscience I guess, though I must confess
I never loved you much when you were mine.
So I'll keep drinking champagne feelin' no pain till early mornin'.
Dinin' and dancin' with every pretty girl I can find.
I’ll keep havin' a fling with a pretty young thing till early mornin'.
Knowin' tomorrow I'll wake up with you on my mind.

We had a silly quarrel over nothin'
Both got maddened and soon turned into somethin'
But we made up like we always do 'cause you love me
And I love you
And we're supposed to do that now and then

O' we're supposed to do that now and then
We'll have our little up's and downs
But we both now how it ends
We spend the night fallin' in love all over again
We're supposed to do that now and then
Baby, we're supposed to do that now and then

Now everybody has there share of problems
But everybody don't know how to solve 'em
We grow closer everyday
'Cuase we learn from those mistakes we made
And we're supposed to do that now and then

O' we're supposed to do that now and then
We'll have our little up's and downs
But we both now how it ends
We spend the night fallin' in love all over again
We're supposed to do that now and then
Baby, we're supposed to do that now and then

. . .



Well now I can see your dancin every dance with her
And it seems to me that your dancin much too close to her
When you sat down at our table
You sat next to her
But I know that it's true
She loves me, She don't love you

Chorus:
Let me tell you friend
I'm wise to your lies
You've been tellin me that I'm the guy for her
And every little thing you do and say
Is givin you away
You're in love with her

Well just one more dance with her
And friend you're gonna see
What it's like to hit the floor
And do a little dance with me

Here's your coat and there's the door
I think you better leave
Cause she just told me it's true
She loves me, She don't love you

Repeat Chorus

Well just one more dance with her
And friend you're gonna see
What it's like to hit the floor
And do a little dance with me

Here's your coat and there's the door
I think you better leave
Casue she just told me it's true
She loves me, She don't love you

Cause she just told me it's true

I got sent home from school one day with a shiner on my eye
Fightin' was against the rules and it didn't matter why
When dad got home I told that story just like I'd rehearsed
Then stood there on those tremblin' knees and waitin' for the worst

And he said...

Chorus:
let me tell you a secret about a father's love
A secret that my daddy said was just between us
He said daddies don't just love their children every now and then
It's a love without end, amen
It's a love without end, amen

When I became a father in the spring of '81
There was no doubt that stubborn boy was just like my father's son
And when I thought my patience had been tested to the end
I took my daddy's secret and passed it on to him

I said...

Repeat Chorus

Last night I dreamed I'd died and stood outside those pearly gates
When suddenly I realized there must be some mistake
If they know half the things I've done, they'll never let me in
Then somewhere from the other side, I heard these words again

And they said...

Repeat Chorus

. . .



There's a stranger in my arms tonight
And I know the reason why
I've left her all alone one two many times
She use to tremble at my touch
And her kiss was soft and warm
But tonight, there's a stranger in my arms

She's still look's the same
And she still talks the same
And she answers when I call her by the same name
But now to late I realize
I let her love for me die
There's a stranger in my arms tonight

She's still look's the same
And she still talks the same
And she answers when I call her by the same name
But now to late I realize
I let her love for me die
There's a stranger in my arms tonight

There's a stranger in my arms tonight
