Well I might have known it Nobody told me about this part They told me all about the pretty girls And the wine and the money and the good times On an old honky tonker's heart But nobody told me about this part There's no mention of all the wear and tear

This time, this time Things'll work out just fine We won't let you slip away We won't let you leave this way If you want you can will it You can have it I can put it right there in your hands I can feel the weight Feel the weight

I got a man that's always late Any time we have a date But I love him Yes I love him I'm gonna walk up to his gate See if we can't get this thing straight 'Cause I want him And I'm gonna have him Say is you is, or is you ain't my baby

The reasons that I can't stay, don't have a thing to do with being in love I don't know why you gotta be angry all the time You ain't the only one who feels like this world's left you far behind Here we are What is left of a husband and a wife with four

I saw you again and again and again There's some room to move on, to move on, to move on And I saw you again and again and again How do we fix this if we never have vision At times like these It's obvious I saw you again I think you used me again Should

I don't argue like this with anyone but you We do it all the time blowing out my mind Just like a star across my sky Just like an angel off the page You have appeared to my life Feel like I'll never be the same Just like a song in my heart Just like oil

Sometimes it feels like this world is spinning faster Than it did in the old days So naturally, we have more natural disasters From the strain of a fast pace Sunday was a day of rest Now, it's one more day for progress

I got a man that's always late Any time we have a date But I love him Yes I love him I'm gonna walk up to his gate See if we can't get this thing straight 'Cause I want him And I'm gonna have him Say is you is, or is you ain't my baby

Put on your dancing shoes Shall we dance Drop that long face Come on have your fling Why keep nursing the blues? If you want this old world on a string Stop wasting time Watch your spirits climb Or keep on mopin'?

We have mistaken I gave you what you need There’s chaos on the rise The sky is raining knives The toll that is taken on you and I This is a sign of the times Another mountain to climb
