Three days I dread to see arrive
Three days I hate to be alive
Three days filled with tears and sorrow
Yesterday today and tomorrow
There are three days I know that I'll be blue
Three days that I'll always dream of you
And it does no good to wish these days would end
Cause the same three days start over again
Three days that I dread be alive
Three days that I hate to see arrive
Three days filled with tears and sorrow Yesterday today and tomorrow
[ guitar ]
There are three days...
Three days that I dread to see arrive...
Three days three days

Touch me, touch the hand of a man
Who once owned all the world
And touch, me touch the arms
That once held all the charms
Of the world's sweetest girl
Touch me, maybe someday you may
Need to know how it feels when you lose
And so touch me, you'll know
How you feel with the blues
Watch me, watch the eyes
That have seen all the heartache
And pain in the land
And be thankful you're happy though
Standing so close to the world's bluest man
Don't forget me, take a good look
At someone who's lost everything he can lose
And then touch me and you'll know
How you'd feel with the blues
[ guitar ]
Don't forget me take a good look...

I can tell that you're already growing tired of me
Want no part of me you even strated lying to me
And if you started out to break this heart inside of me
Congratulations to you dear you're doing fine
I pass you on the street and you don't speak to me
You just look at me and then you walk away from me
And if you started out to make a fool of me
Congratulations to you dear you're doing fine
And you should be comanded for the sorrow you cause me
How does it feel to be the Queen of Misery
So if you started out to make a fool of me
Congratulations to you dear you're doing fine
[ guitar ]
And you should be comanded...
Congratulations to you dear you're doing fine

If I only had one arm to hold you
Well better yet if I had none at all
Then I wouldn't have two arms that ache
For you there'd be one less mem'ry to recall
If I only had one ear to listen to
The lies that you told to me
Then I more closely resemble
The half a man that you've made of me
If I only had one leg to stand on
Then how much how much truer picture you'd see
Cause then I more closely resemble
The half a man that you've made of me

Hello walls, (Hello, hello.)
How'd things go for you today?
Don't you miss her.
Since she up and walked away?
And I'll bet you dread to spend another lonely night with me,
But lonely walls, I'll keep you company.
Hello window, (Hello, hello.)
Well, I see that you're still here.
Aren't you lonely,
Since our darlin disappeared?
Well look here, is that a teardrop in the corner of your pane?
Now don't you try to tell me that's it's rain.
She went away and left us all alone the way she planned.
Guess we'll have to learn to get along without her if we can.
Hello ceiling, (Hello, hello.)
I'm gonna stare at you a while.
You know I can't sleep,
So won't you bear with me a while?
We gotta all stick together or else I'll lose my mind.
I gotta feelin' she'll be gone a long, long time.
(Hello, hello wall.)

Pay no mind to her
She only wants to play
But she's not for you
She's not for you
And I'm the only one
Who would let her act this way
But she's not for you
She's not for you
So she told you she found
Heaven in your eyes
Well I think it only fair
To warn you that
Sometimes she lies
But it's your heart
I can't tell you
What to do
But she's not for you
She's not for you
[ guitar ]
She just looks for
Greener pastures now and then
And when she grows tired
She knows Old Faithful
Will just take her back again
So just leave her here
I'm used to feeling blue
She's not for you
She's not for you
She's not for you
She's not for you

I wanna live fast love hard die young and leave a beautiful memory
I wanna live fast love hard die young and leave a beautiful memory
I don't want slow walkin' or sad singin' let 'em have a jubilee
I wanna leave a lotta happy women thinking pretty thoughts of me
I wanna live fast love hard die young and leave a beautiful memory
Now you may not approve of the things I do but it really don't bother me
So don't ever think you gonna tie me down I'm gonna stay footloose and fancy free
So jump back make tracks move out let the gals at me
I wanna live fast love hard die young and leave a beautiful memory
[ guitar - fiddle ]
I wanna live fast love hard die young and leave a beautiful memory
I'm a wampus cat let me grab my hat and baby come along with me
We're gonna do some fancy stepping we're really goin' on a spree
I wanna live fast love hard die young and leave a beautiful memory
I wanna live fast love hard die young and leave a beautiful memory

Sweet dreams of you dreams I know can't come true
Why can't I forget the past start loving someone new
Instead of having sweet dreams about you sweet dreams about you
You don't love me it's plain I should know you'd never wear my name
I should hate you the whole night through
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
[ guitar ]
You don't love me it's plain I should know you'd never never wear my name
And I should hate you the whole night through
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
Instead of having sweet dreams about you

It's four in the morning and once more the dawning
Woke up the wanting in me
Wishing I'd never met her knowing if I'd forget her
How much better off she would be
The longer that I hold on and the longer that it goes on the harder that it's gonna be
It's four in the morning and once more the dawning
Just woke up the wanting in me
I've never deserved her God knows when I hurt her
That's the last thing I wanna do
She knows but she can't tell how she feels but I know
Too well what she's going through
And if I love her so much I don't know why I can't do
The right thing and just let her be
It's four in the morning and once more the dawning
Just woke up the wanting in me
[ fiddle + steel ]
Last night I told her this time it's all over
Making ten times I told her goodbye
Last night we broke up this morning I woke up
And for the tenth time I'm changing my mind
I saw more love in her eyes when I left her than most foolish men will ever see
It's four in the morning and once more the dawning
Just woke up the wanting in me
Four in the morning once more the dawning just woke up the wanting in me
. . .

If she seems cold and bitter I beg of you
Just stop and consider all she's gone through
Don't be quick to condemn her for things she might say
Just remember her life turned her that way
She's been walked on and stepped on so many times
And I hate to admit it but that last footprint's mine
She was crying when I met her she cries harder today
But don't blame her life turned her that way
[ piano ]
She's been walked on...
So don't blame her life turned her that way

Well me and my baby we're goin' steady we ain't married but we're gettin' ready
To tie the knot I'm gonna make her my own
Well now that I've found her I'm gonna keep her finders keepers losers weepers
She's my baby she's goin' steady with me
Well I've been a honky tonkin' round nearly all my life
Now I got a steady babe and I'm gonna make her make her my wife
All you rovin' ramblers can leave her alone don't even date her on the phone
Cause she's my baby she's goin' steady with me
And now sweet baby that we're goin' steady I'll pull up and ask your daddy
What he thinks if you and I are wed
Cause I love you and you love me we're both as happy as we can be
I hope your daddy will let you go steady with me
We'll get the rings and be on our way to see the preacher man
And when you say I do sweetheart I'll slip the ring on your loving hand
Everything's gonna turn out fine I'll be yours and you'll be mine
You're my baby you're goin' steady with me
Yeah you're my baby you're goin' steady with me

Well, hello there
My, it's been a long, long time
How am I doing?
Oh, I guess that I'm doing fine
It's been so long now
But it seems now, that it was only yesterday
Gee, ain't it funny, how time slips away
How's your new love
I hope that he's doing fine
I heard you told him
That you'd love him till the end of time
Now, that's the same thing that you told me
Seems like just the other day
Gee, ain't it funny, how time slips away
I gotta go now
I guess I'll see you around
Don't know when though
Never know, when I'll be back in town
But remember, what I tell you
In time, your gonna pay
And it's surprising, how time slips away
. . .
