(Phases and stages circles and cycles and scenes that we've all seen before. Let me tell you some more)
Washing the dishes scrubbing the floors
Caring for someone who don't care anymore
Learning to hate all the things that she once loved to do
Like washing his shirts and never complaining except of red stains on the collars
Ironin' and cryin' cryin' and ironin' caring for someone who don't care anymore
Someday she'll just walk away
(Phases and stages circles and cycles scenes that we've all seen before. Let me tell you some more)

After carefully considerin' the whole situation
I stand with my back to the wall
Walkin' is better than runnin' away
And crawlin' ain't no good at all
And if guilty's the question
Truth is the answer
I've been lyin' to me all alone
There ain't nothin' worth savin'
Except one another
And before you'll wake up
I'll be gone
Cause after carefully considerin' the whole situation
I stand with my back to the wall
Walkin' is better than runnin' away
And crawlin' ain't no good at all
[ guitar ]
After carefully considerin' the whole situation

Pretend I never happened
Erase me from your mind
You will not want to remember
Any love as cold as mine
I'll be leaving in the morning
For a place that I hope I find
All the places must be better
Than the ones I leave behind
But I don't suppose you'll be unhappy
You'll find ways to spend your time
And if you ever think about me
And if I ever cross your mind
Just pretend I never happened
Erase me from your mind
You will not want to remember
Any love as cold as mine
[ guitar ]
But I don't suppose you'll be unhappy
You'll find ways to spend your time
And if you ever think about me

Just pretend I never happened

You will not want to remember
Any love as cold as mine
Any love as cold as mine

Sister's coming home
Mama's gonna let her sleep
The whole day long
The whole day long
Sister's coming home
Mama's gonna let her sleep
The whole day long
Sister's coming home
Mama don't like the man
That done her wrong
That done her wrong
Sister's coming home
Mama don't like the man
That done her wrong
[ guitar - fiddle ]
Sister's coming home
Mama's gonna let her sleep
The whole day long
The whole day long
Sister's coming home
Mama's gonna let her sleep
The whole day long
The mirror's gonna tell her
How long she's been gone
Down at the corner beer joint
Dancin' on the rock'n roll
Sister likes to do it
Lord, sister likes to move her soul
Down at the corner beer joint
Dancin' on a hardwood floor
Her jeans fit
A little bit tighter
Than they did before
Than they did before
Than they did before
Lord, her jeans fit
A little bit tighter
Than they did before
Than they did before
Than they did before
Lord, her jeans fit
A little bit tighter
Than they did before
[ steel ]
Down at corner beer joint
Dancing to the rock'n roll
Sister likes to do it
Lord, sister likes to move her soul
Down at corner beer joint
Dancing on the hardwood floor
Her jeans fit
A little bit tighter
Than they did before
Than they did before
Than they did before
Well her jeans fit
A little bit tighter
Than they did before
She likes to move her soul
She likes to move her soul
Sister likes to do it
Lord, sister likes to move her soul

I'm falling in love again
I never thought I would again
I never I thought I would
And I may be making mistakes again
But if I lose or win
How will I know
How will I know
How will I know
How will I know
And I'm falling in love again
And if I lose or win
How will I know
[ fiddle ]
And if I lose or win
How will I know

It's a Bloody Mary morning,
Baby left me without warning
Sometime in the night
So I'm flyin' down to Houston
Forgetting her's the nature of my flight
As we taxi toward the runway
With the smog and haze
Reminding me of how I feel
Just a country boy who's learnin'
That the pitfalls of the city
Are extremely real
All the night life and the parties
And temptation and deceit
The order of the day
Well it's a Bloody Mary mornin'
Cause I'm leavin' baby somewhere in LA
It's a Bloody Mary morning...
[ guitar ]
Our golden jet is airborn
And flight Fifty cuts a path
Across the mornin' sky
And a voice comes on the speaker
Reassuring us flight Fifty
Is the way to fly
And a hostess takes our order
Coffee tea or something stronger
To start off the day
Well it's a Bloody Mary morning
Cause I'm leavin' baby somewhere in LA
It's a bloody mary morning...

Let me tell you some more let me tell you some more)
I come home last Saturday morning I come home and found you gone
Well there was a note tacked on my door said your baby don't love you anymore
Well I got dressed up and I went downtown I got dressed up and I went downtown
Well I walked up and I walked down
Well there weren't no love there weren't no love around
There weren't no love around there weren't no love around
There weren't no love around there weren't no love around
There weren't no love around there weren't no love around
There weren't no love around there weren't no love around
Well I come home and I lay down I felt my head spinning round and round
Lord I poured my dreams and I drank 'em down no there weren't no love
There weren't no love around
There weren't no love around....

It's the very first day since you left me
And I tried to put my thoughts in a song
But all I can hear myself singin' is
I still can't believe you're gone
I still can't believe that you'd really leave me
What did I do was so wrong
There's just too many unanswered questions
And I still can't believe you're gone
But you're gone
And I'm alone
And I'm still livin'
I don't like it
But I'll take it till I'm strong
All I can hear myself singin' is
I still can't believe you're gone
[ guitar ]
You're gone
And I'm alone
And I'm still livin'
I don't like it
But I'll take it till I'm strong
All I can hear myself singin' is
I still can't believe you're gone

It's not supposed to be that way you're supposed to know I love you
But it don't matter anyway if I can't be there to control you
Like the other little children you're gonna dream a dream or two
But be careful what you're dreamin' or soon your dreams'll be dreamin' you
It's not supposed to be that way you're supposed to know I love you
But it don't matter anyway if I can't be there to console you
When you go out to play this evenin' play with fire flies till they're gone
Then you rush to meet your lover and play with real fire till the dawn
But it's not supposed to be that way you're supposed to know I love you
But it don't matter anyway if I can't be there to console you
[ steel ]
When you go out to play this evenin'...

Well sometimes it's heaven
And sometimes it's hell
Sometimes I don't even know
Sometimes I take it as far as I can
And sometimes I don't even go
My front tracks're found for a cold water
And my back tracks're covered with snow
Sometimes it's heaven
Sometimes it's hell
Sometimes I don't even know
[ steel - piano ]
Heaven ain't walkin'
On a street paved with gold
And hell ain't a mountain of fire
Heaven is layin'
In my sweet baby's arms
Hell is when baby ain't there
Well my front tracks're found for a cold water
And my back tracks're covered with snow
Well sometimes it's heaven
And sometimes it's hell
Sometimes I don't even know

People are saying that time will take care of people like me
That I'm livin' too fast and they say I can't last too much longer
But little they see that their thoughts of me is my saviour
And little they know that the beat oughta go just a little faster
So pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home
The singer ain't singin' and the drummer's been draggin' too long
Time will take care of itself so just leave time alone
And pick up the tempo just a little and take it on home
Well I'm wild and I'm mean and I'm creatin' a scene I'm goin' crazy
Well I'm good and I'm bad and I'm happy and I'm sad and I'm lazy
I'm quiet and I'm loud and I'm gatherin' a crowd and I like gravy
About half off the wall but I learned it all in the Navy
So pick up the tempo...
