Hank Williams Jr. Album

Well I don't envy him at all when I see him by your side
Cause I know you're making plans to take him on your loveless ride
On his trip through pleasure and he'll love every inch of the way
Right up to the end where he's going with you I've already been
But I would never go back there again
If I could chance the pages in my book of life I would
Rewrite the story different make it read the way it should
But I can't erase the mistakes I made I don't have no magic pen
Where he's going with you I've already been but I can never never go back there again
What a fool I was to fall in love with you and try to change your ways
You will love him for awhile you will laugh and you will smile
But when you're through with him he'll pay the price I paid
And sure won't be here through the hurt and the tears
To pick you up at your journeys end
Where he's going with you I've already been and I will never go back there again
Where he's going with you I've already been and I will never go back there again

I've been living a new way of life that I love so
I can see the clouds are gathering and the storm will wreck our home
For last night he held you tightly and you didn't even shove
This I know for I was watching from the window up above
You must have thought that I was sleeping Lord I wish that I had been
But it's best to get to know you and the way your heart can sin
I thought that we belonged together that our hearts fit like a glove
But I was wrong for I've been watching from the window up above
[ steel ]
From my eyes the teardrops started as I listened on and on
I heard you whisper to him softly that our marriage was all wrong
Well I hope he makes you happy and you don't ever lose his love
I lost mine while I was watching from the window up above
Yes I hope he makes you happy and you don't ever lose his love
I lost mine while I was watching from the window up above

When the nighttime comes fallin' down I jump in my pickup and head out of town
I ride on out to the country and call up my sweet honey
And we'll mess around and make country love
Meet me at night tonight and we'll go down by the river side
Take along some moonshine our love is much too strong for wine
And we'll drink it up and make country love
Some folks fall to the city just to do that lovin' dirt
But just get me the smell of pine trees makin' love in the warm country air

Lord you know it feels so fine to hold that country girl of mine
And lay here in the moonlight and do what feels so right
To smooth and hug and make a lotta country love
Some folks fall to the city...

So tonight when the crickets start singin' the songs
That's when me and you will be gettin' it off
To who I would be who whoin' cause he'll see what we're doin'
We're foolin' we're makin' country love
When the night hang up we're makin' country love
I'm a southern boy spreadin' joy and country love

[No lyrics]

Hey there lonely girl can I sit with you
I've just got to find someone to tell my story to
You've heard it all before now here it is once more
And please kiss away my tears when I am through
It's just the same old story once again with a sweet beginning and a bitter end
A love affair that didn't turn out right
And the world has one more broken heart tonight

Would you like to dance oh you know it's been a long time
Since I had a woman satisfy my urge
But you know it never works a false love won't take away hurt
But just pretend I'm him and I'll pretend you're her
And it'll be just the same old story...
And the world had one more broken heart tonight

It takes an awful lot to get me down but it only took one word from her goodbye
Takes an awful lot to make me cry it only took one word from her goodbye
What's wrong with me why couldn't I see
The lonely nights for her would be too long I'm here she's gone
Takes an awful lot to make me cry it only took one word from her goodbye
[ piano ]
How can one word cut you so deep
And leave you with an ugly scar for life cut you like a knife
Takes an awful lot to bring me down it only took one word from her goodbye
Goodbye goodbye

I was ridin' No 9
Headin' south from Caroline
I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow

I got in trouble had to roam
Left my gal and left my home
I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow

Just a kid actin' smart
I went and broke my darling's heart
I guess I was too young to know

They took me off to Georgia Main
They locked me to a ball and chain
I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow

All I do is sit and cry
When the evening train goes by
I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow

All I do is bear the shame
I'm a number not a name
I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow

I'll be locked here in this cell
Til my body's just a shell
And my hair turns whiter than snow, oh Lord

I'll never see that gal of mine
I'm in Georgia doing time
I heard that lone-vow-vow-some whistle blow

I'll never see that gal of mine...

You ain't the kind of woman I wanted, but you're the kind of woman I got

Well, the very first thing in the morning is "Get up"
The last thing I hear every night is "Shut up"
I found out my own cooking don't taste too hot
You ain't the kind of woman I wanted, but you're the kind of woman I got

Well, when I'm around the house, you're always a fussing
Nothing pleases you and you start cussing
I put up with you, and that's a heck of a lot
You ain't the kind of woman I wanted, but you're the kind of woman I got

If I had any sense at all, I'd go crazy
But that would do you too much good, so I'm not
Your mama and your daddy both told me you was lazy
You ain't the kind of woman I wanted, but you're the kind of woman I got

If I had any sense at all, I'd go crazy
But that would do you too much good, so I'm not
Your mama and your daddy both told me you was lazy
You ain't the kind of woman I wanted, but you're the kind of woman I got

I come home late at night with my boots in my hands
Stumble in the back door, being quiet as I can
And I know she's there in bed, cold and all alone
And she's crying because I'm breaking up our home
And she knows the hell I'm going through in this world inside my head
There's a devil in the bottle, Lord, and he wants to see me dead

I fall into her arms and she helps me with my clothes
Guess she stays on with me cause she really knows
That I'm trying, Lord, to find my freedom
By escaping to the only freedom I've ever known
And she knows the hell I'm going through in this world inside my head
There's a devil in the bottle, Lord, and he won't rest until I'm dead
There's a devil living in the bottle, Lord, and he won't rest 'til I'm dead
And its killing her too, watching me die this way

(I've loved you all over the world)
I've loved you all over the world in every place I've been you were with me and then
There never was anyone but you sweet girl I've loved you all over the world
You still share my pillow each night pressed so close to me sharing each memory
You still keep my mind in a whirl sweet girl I've loved you all over the world
Carolina Virginia California to Maine from New York to Texas the feeling remains
City sidewalks and each country lane sweet girl I've loved you all over the world
(I've loved you all over the world)
Carolina Virginia California to Maine...
I've loved you all over the world sweet girl
