Her husband is a decent man
Kind as anyone you know
But whiskey got a hold of him
And won't let go, and even though
She hates him when she's stumbling
Her heart still breaks his fall
(John Hadley/Harry Stinson)
If time is a train rollin down the tracks
Every minute is a box car that don't come back
Take a look around you it's all gonna change
Whatever you see ain't neve gonna stay
Go on and cry, but you won't change my mind
Your pain and troubles don't concern me
I gave you my love, but it was not enough
I was just your bridge and boy you burned me
So don't hand me no hard luck
(Mac McAnally)
Ruthie got a job
And nothing went right
She woke up in a nervous sweat
In the middle of the night
And every morning
Of every day
Ruthie she would end up crying, Lord
And the b
Baby, baby what you do to me
Got me feeling like a leaf from a tree
Wish I knew
Do I do it to you too
You make me tremble every time we touch
Don't believe that I could give you up
Wish I knew
Do I
A woman can only lean so long
'Til the sense of who she is is gone
I had a man that I leaned on for years
I know he thought I'd never leave
And I never really did believe
That I would ever get from hi

You jet from coast to coast
Dressed in designer clothes
When you appear somewhere
Your chauffer drives you there
I would think twice
If I
I know I haven't said the words
The way I used to
I should've made the time I know
When I didn't know which way to turn
I'd turn to you
You always seem to know which way to go
You know you always se

She knows three years was too long to keep waitin
But somehow she was hopin she would change him
Still all his words turned to dust
And who can survive in a lov
We talk as neighbors by the fence
The seasons come and go
We've grown a little closer
Now that we both live alone
But we only find the time to chat
In the middle of our chores
Oh I can't help but won

He抯 got her photograph
On a stand by his bed
Two on the mantle
And a thousands in his head
He can抰 believe how fast she抯 changing

You me wrapped around your finger
Like a yo-yo on a string
Playing games with my heart
And I can't do a thing
You throw me down and then you snap me up
I'm in the palm of your hand
Why you get your k

You've got nothing to lose
When you've lost it all
And that's a good time to choose
If you're gonna stand or fall
I've got a feeling
Things'll get better soon

The first time she saw him he stood at home plate
He knocked that curve ball almost out of state
The crowd went wild
He kinda smiled
And her heart melted away
The last time she saw him was at the airp

What do i do now that our love's come to such a
bitter end
We've been through too much together for me to be
your friend
And I can't pretend
O'm sure I'll see you, but when I

Hey I抳e been around
I抳e seen it all
Love is a chain around your heart
That holds you down
You抮e better off
Runnin?away before it starts
(Skip Ewing/Liz Hengher)
The moment that I looked at you
A voice inside of me
Said you'd better guard your heart
And love him cautiously
If I'd only listened
To the things I heard me say
I'd have st
I don't know if I can explain it
'Cause there's really nothing different at all
The sun still burns
And the earth still turns
And the winter still follows the fall
I knew that it wouldn't be easy
