Storms never last, do they baby
Bad times all pass with the wind
Your hand in mine stills the thunder
You make the sun a-wannna shine

Oh, I followed you down so many roads, baby
I picked wild flowers and sang you soft sad songs
And every road we took, God knows
Our search was for the truth
And the storm brewing now won't be the last

Storms never last, do they baby
Bad times all pass with the wind
Your hand in mine stills the thunder
And you make the sun a-wanna shine

Storms never last, do they baby
Bad times all pass with the wind
Your hand in mine stills the thunder
And you make the sun a-wanna shine
You make the sun a-wanna shine

Falling in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do?
I can't help it

Love's always been my game
Play it how I may
I was made that way
I can't help it

Men cluster to me like moths around a flame
And if their wings burn, I know I'm not to blame

Falling in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do?
I can't help it

Love's always been my game
Play it how I may
I was made that way
I can't help it

Falling in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do?
I can't help it

What am I to do?
I can't help it

Up above me are the skies
Like the twinkle in your eyes
These things are the color of the blues
In the mail your letter came
The ink and paper look the same
Yes blue must be the color of the blues

The bluebird sitting in a tree
Seems to sympathize with me
For he's not singing like he used to do
The pretty waters in the sea
Feel as cold as you left me
Yes, blue must be the color of the blues

There’s a rainbow overhead
With more blue than gold and red
Blue must be the color angels choose
A blue dress you proudly wore
When you left to return no more
Yes, blue must be the color of the blues

Blue days come and blue days go
How I feel, nobody knows
Life is mighty empty without you
There's a blue note in each song
That I sing since you are gone
Yes, blue must be the color of the blues
Yes, blue must be the color of the blues

I’m tellin’ you, you better change your way
I am tired of being lonely night and day
While around the town you chase
There’ll be someone in your place
If you don't stop your cheatin'
I’m a-tellin’ you

I’m getting wise
So honey, take a tip from me
I am not the foolish soul I used to be
If you think you’re treatin' me wrong
You’ll come home and I’ll be gone
If you don't straighten out
I’m a-tellin’ you

The road is long that never takes a turn
And the heart is hard that has no chance to yearn
I love you much too much
Oh, you big old such and such
Now you better straighten out
I'm a-tellin' you

Now you better straighten out
I'm a-tellin' you

Look at us
After all these years together
Look at us
After all that we've been through
Look at us
Still leaning on each other

If you want to see
How true love should be
Then just look at us

Look at you
Still pretty as a picture
Look at me
Still crazy over you
Look at us
Still believin' in forever

If you want to see
How true love should be
Then just look at us

In a hundred years from now
I know without a doubt
They'll all look back and wonder how
We made it all work out

Chances are
We'll go down in history
And when they want to see
How true love should be
They'll just look at us

Chances are
We'll go down in history
When they want to see
How true love should be
They'll just look at us

When they want to see
How true love should be
They'll just look at us

Dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music
Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home-lovin' man

A home and little children mean nothing to you
A house filled with love and a husband so true
I'd rather have a drink with the first guy I meet
And the only home I know is the bar down the street
(That's what I'm talkin' about)

Dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music
Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home-lovin' man
(How'd you know?)
(Osmosis)

Drinkin' and a-dancin' to a honky tonk band
Is the only kind of life I'll ever understand
Go out and have your fun
You think you've played it smart
I'm sorry for you and your honky tonk heart
(Don't be sorry for me!)

Dim lights, thick smoke, and loud, loud music
Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home-lovin' man
You'll never make a wife to a home-lovin' man

I saw a man today who said he talked to you
Not so long ago I think a month or two
As my mind raced back in time
I prayed oh Lord don't let it show
He thinks I forgot you fifteen years ago

Fifteen years ago and I still feel the same
Why did he have to mention your name
I'm as broken up inside as if it's been a week or go
It takes a mighty long time to get a real love off your mind
I know I've tried since fifteen years ago

I've got a lovely wife who thinks the world of me
Promised her my love through all eternity
I've tried hard to make her happy but so far she doesn't know
I can't shake this thing from fifteen years ago

Fifteen years ago and I still feel the same
Why did he have to mention your name
I'm as broken up inside as if it's been a week or go
It takes a mighty long time to get a real love off your mind
I know I've tried since fifteen years ago
It takes a mighty long time to get a real love off your mind
I know I've tried since fifteen years ago

I tried so hard, my dear
To show that you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing I do
Is just some evil scheme
A memory from your lonesome past
Keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart?

Another love before my time
Made your heart sad and blue
So my heart is paying now
For things I didn't do
In anger, unkind words are said
That make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart?

You'll never know how much it hurts
To see you sit and cry
You know you need and want my love
Yet you're afraid to try
Why do you run and hide from life
To try it just ain't smart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart?

There was a time when I believed
That you belonged to me
But now I know your heart
Is shackled to a memory
The more I learn to care for you
The more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart?

Mental cruelty, that's what I heard him say
Mental cruelty, to the judge that day
I sat there in silence so he could be free
And listened to his lying words, mental cruelty

Your Honor, since our marriage, my life ain't been the same
I'm missin' out on all the fun, and he's the one to blame
There's never any excitement now, the way there used to be
And sharing his way of life and doin' his laundry
Is mental cruelty

Mental cruelty, that's what I heard her say
Mental cruelty, to the judge that day
I sat there in silence so she could be free
And listened to her lying words, mental cruelty

Divorces have been granted for many different things
Even when there's not a reason and no one can be blamed
With only two little words she's on her merry way
Yes all a woman has to claim is mental cruelty

Mental cruelty, that's what I heard her say
Mental cruelty, to the judge that day
I sat there in silence so she could be free
And listened to her lying words, mental cruelty
And listened to her lying words, mental cruelty

Now we go our separate ways, Mr. and Mrs. Used To Be
For oh so long I've loved you, and I know that you loved me
But time moved on and we grew far apart
It's not the way I wanted, but the judge has set you free
Although you're still the first one in my heart

I just don't understand it, how people such as we
Could know the love that we have known
But somehow disagree
I hope that you'll be happy, the same to you from me
Now we go our separate ways Mr. and Mrs. Used To Be

At first it was like heaven on earth for you and me
But heaven sure has changed a lot since then
I can't put all the blame on you, for some belongs to me
What started out as heaven reached an end

I guess we could have made it, but pride stood in our way
For love to live it must have words we never seemed the say
And so I'll say goodbye now, kiss the kids for me
Now we go our separate ways Mr. and Mrs. Used To Be
Now we go our separate ways Mr. and Mrs. Used To Be

Evening shadows make me blue
When each weary day is through
How I long to be with you
My happiness

Everyday I reminisce
Dreaming of your tender kiss
Always thinking how I miss
My happiness

A million years it seems
Have gone by since we
Shared our dreams
But I'll hold you again
There'll be no blue memories then

Whether skies are grey or blue
Any place on earth will do
Just as long as I'm with you
My happiness

A million years it seems
Have gone by since we
Shared our dreams
But I’ll hold you again
There’ll be no blue memories then

Whether skies are grey or blue
Any place on earth will do
Just as long as I'm with you
My happiness

The old maid's a waitin' for leap year to come
The crooner's just waitin' to sing
The old cow's standin' by the Bull Durham sign
Just waitin' for the grass to turn green
The bar-fly's waitin' for an easy mark
The hitchhiker's just waitin' for a ride
The lifetimer's waitin' for a prison break
The beachcomber's waitin' for the tide

Farmer's daughter's waitin' for the salesman
To take her into Town
The city slicker's waitin' for the country boy
To lay all his money down
You know everything comes to standstill
Ain’t nothing seems to make a turn
Worm must be waitin' for the early bird
I guess the early bird's waitin' for the worm
Nobody wants to do nothin'
Just waitin' to get a finger in the pie
Waitin' for a call for a big quiz show
Or a waitin' for some rich uncle to die
Katy she's waitin' at the garden gate
The moonshiner's waitin' at the still
The gambler's still waitin' for that Ace in the hole
And I guess Jack's still waitin' for Jill

Everybody's waitin' for something
But nothing seems to turn out right
Cause the night shift's waitin' for mornin'
And the burglar he's just waitin' for night
The congregation is waitin' for the preacher
The preacher's just waitin' for the groom
The groom's just waitin' for the June bride
And the bride's just waitin' for June
Sunflower's waitin' for the sunshine
Violet's just waitin' for dew
Bee's just waitin' for honey
And honey I'm just waitin' for you
