Kenny Rogers Album

[No lyrics]

(Rick Giles / Susan Longacre)

I live for the phone I die for the mail
I took your picture right off the nail
And put it right by my bed
So I could see you instead
Of the darkness of night.

I hold conversations with you in my mind
They only tighten this knot deep inside
And the aching won't end
'Til I hold you again
If I only suvive.

Chorus:
Why did you have to go
Why am I missing you so
One heartbeat at a time
I'm going out of my mind
Missing you, missing you.

I started a letter, I stared at your name
There wasn't a line that didn't echo my pain
There was no sound at all
But the slow lonely fall
Of an unspoken tear.

Chorus:
Why did you have to go
Why am I missing you so
One heartbeat at a time
I'm going out of my mind
Missing you, missing you.

Life may take us
In different directions
But I always end up deeper
Deeper in my true affection.

Chorus:
Why did you have to go
Why am I missing you so
One heartbeat at a time
I'm going out of my mind
Missing you, missing you...

Kenny Rogers & Travis Tritt
(Verlon Thompson / Billy Dean )

You've got it made, you've got real love
Something you don't find every day
Someone to trust, someone to lean on
Something I would hold on to, if I were you.

You've got it made, you've got no one
You don't have those strings to tie you down
You come and go free as the wind blows
If I wouldn't settle down too soon, if I were you.

If I were you, I'd be satisfied
Oh, I'm sure the grass is greener on the other side
If I were you, I'd stay by her side ( I'd be running wild )
I would never leave her
That's what I would do if I were you.

If I were you, I'd be satisfied
Oh, I'm sure the grass is greener on the other side
If I were you, would I rather be ( would I rather be )
Someone just like me
I wouldn't change a single thing if I were you...

[No lyrics]

If I closed my eyes
It didn't hurt quite so bad
'Cause tonight I´ve just lost
The best friend I've ever had

You were a maverick running
All away from New Orleans
We'd tell stories 'round the campfire late at night
When it was down to just you and me

Good friend, why did you have to go?
Just when I was getting to know you
I'll sing this song to show
You were a good friend

They don't make 'em quite like you
And in my memory
You'll always be a good, good friend to me

You said I got a home, boy
Haven't seen it for so long
Said I'm going home, boy
My work is done, I can feel it in my bones

Good friend, why did you have to go?
Just when I was getting to know you
I'll sing this song to show
You were a good friend
