Hank Williams Jr. Album

I've got a right to cry
I've got a right to cry
All day I sing the blues
I'm in my lonely shoes
Could you be so unkind
I nearly lost my mind
I wonder if you care
Ny life is a sad affair
My heart is aching
and it's breaking
And I don't know what to do
Sweetheart, it's all because of you
You know you've done done me wrong
Come on back home where you belong
And in this reason why
I've got a right to cry
Yeah, my heart is aching
I've got a right to cry

One by one they're turning out the lights
Lord I've been feeding out that jukebox just to get to hold you tight
Guess it's for the best I just put in my last dime
Heard you whisper we meet me again another place another time

The chairs are stacked all on the table and it's closing time they say
I could wait my here forever if they'd only let me stay
Anywhere would be much better than that lonely room of mine
And the sleepless nights are waiting for another place another time

Won't that room of mine be a lonely place to be
After I've been holding you oh so close to me
And won't that old stairway be a little hard to climb
To my lonely room to wait for another place another time

And won't that old stairway...

I'm off to work with no kiss of goodbye
I wear a smile on my face but I lie
Cup of coffee at the corner cafe
Catch the bus reading news on my way
Go through motions to whole morning cool
Start a day in the life of a fool

Sometimes I dial out number in hopes you'll return
But there's never any answer, I guess I'll never learn
Hurry home after my work is through
Check the mailbox, no letter from you
Then I rush up the stairs to my memories of you
That's a day in the life of a fool

Yes, I rush up the stairs to my memories of you
That's a day in the life of this fool

I got a past that'll last me forever
And enough memories for one man's life
The one I love, she ain't coming back ever
So it looks like I've got my future on ice

I got bottles and cans
That just left my hand
And a chill to just the right fahrenheit
O, love let me down
Now a truer friend I've found
Why I've got my future on ice

There was a time she was my one and only
Until someone else caught her eye
Then for awhile, can you believe I was acting so lonely?
Now I've got my future on ice

I got bottles and cans
That just left my hand
And a chill to just the right fahrenheit
O, love let me down
Now a truer friend I've found
Why I've got my future on ice

O, love let me down
Now a real true friend I found
Why I got my future on ice

It's a happy kind of sadness when I think of you
And a lonely kind of togetherness when your company's the blues
Now all you love has ended as you left me for someone new
It's a happy kind of sadness when I think of you
Well you're happy when you think of all the good times and the sweet love you had
But you're sad when you want her and she's not there
It's a happy kind of sadness when her love turns cold
Oh I laughed and made jokes about it but there's one joke that I ain't told
Oh how I cried all the nights long if that's so funny why am I so blue
It's a happy kind of sadness when I think of you

Well you're happy...

I guess I'll get a cab
And go by my house today
No, I can't visit her or my son
I'm supposed to stay away

But it won't hurt to bring back old memories
'Cause after all they used to all belong to me

Now there's our car
The one that I'm still paying for
And in the front yard
Lord, I see my little boy
And there's his mother
I hope she's doing fine
Oh Lord, I'd give anything
If they were all still mine
But they're not
And I'm the one to blame
I should have known I'd never win
When I played that cheating game
This other man holds my life
And my son calls him daddy tonight

But how can I complain?
'Cause after all they used to all belong to me
How can I complain?
'Cause after all they used to all belong to me

When I lost my baby I almost lost my mind
When I lost my baby I almost lost my mind
Lord my head is in a spin since she left me behind
I went to see a gypsy and I had my fortune read
Yeah I went to see a gypsy I had my fortune read
But Lord I hung my head in sorrow when she said what she said

Now I can tell you people the news was not so good
Yes I can tell you people the news was not so good
She said your baby has quit you this time she's gone for good
She said your baby has quit you and this time she's gone for good
I almost lost my mind

It's the way of mine to say just what I'm thinking
And to do the things I really want to do
And you want to change the part of me I'm proud of
So I can't be myself when I'm with you
Oh you never like the clothes I wear on Sunday
Just because I don't believe the way you do
But I believe the Lord knows I'm unhappy
Cause I can't be myself when I'm with you
No I can't be myself and be what pleases you
And down deep inside I don't believe that you want me to
And it's not my way to take so long deciding
That I can't be myself when I'm with you
No it's not my way...

[No lyrics]

I'm out of money I'm out of friends and my six-packs are all gone
All the couples I've been watching dance now they've all gone home
Yes the barroom is all quiet except for fools who stay
And I'm glad it's finally come the end of a bad day
Well it's still hard to believe that you've left so suddenly
Well I just thought that you were kiddin' when you told me you're gonna leave
But truer words were never spoken than when you said I'm going away
And I'm glad it's finally come the end of a bad day
Lord I wish that old jukebox would be playin' those sad sad songs
Cause tonight I'm just a guy to sit right here and sing along
I'm cryin' tears of my own sympathy but through them I still say
Lord I'm glad it's finally come the end of a bad day
Lord I'm glad it's finally come the end of a bad day
