Let's begin with the day I met her
How fast this good old boy's world got better
Sky got bluer, the grass got greener
Just the first few seconds after I first seen her
Like my favorite song on a new set of speakers
My best old jeans and my broke in sneakers
A home run pitch floating right down the middle
The sweet music made when the bow hits the fiddle
She's
Right on the money

Here I am all alone again tonight
In this old empty house
It's hard to learn what you don't think you need
You can't live without
Never leave the sound of the telephone
But ever since you left
I've been gone

(Chorus)
Gone carzy, goin' out of my mind
I've asked myself the reasons,
at least least thousand times
Goin' up and down this hallway
Tryin' to leave the pain behind

I remember walk'in round the court square sidewalk
Lookin' in windows at things I couldn't want
There's johnson's hardware and morgans jewelry
And the ol' Lee king's apothecary
They ware the little man
The little man

I go back now and the stores are all empty
Except for an old coke sign from 1950
Boarded up like they never existed
Or renovated and called historic districts

Looking through these old photographs
Don't They bring some good memories back
Some of them make us laugh
And some make us cry
I'm glad we've kept all of these souvenirs
To prove that our love was here
Look at how happy we were
Pictures don't lie

(Chorus)
If forever should end today
And there's no tomorrow for us
What a day yesterday was

Here's one of us with you calm and cool

I've spent a lifetime lookin' for love
Just when I find it, it comes undone
I've tried so hard to make love happen
Like some never endin' pattern
I end up on the sad side of the fun

(Chorus)
Hurtin' Comes easy
Hurtin' Comes easy
Hurtin' Comes easy
For me

Well, I've seen people that got it made
They've got someone and love looks great
But me, I've been to every doctor

When I look into your soft green eyes
And when I see your delicate body
Revealed to me as you slip off your dress
I'm reminded that what I feel for you
Will remain strong and true
Long after the pleasures of the flesh and

I'll go on loving you
I'll go on loving you
I'll go on loving you

And be it the wind or the rain
Or the moon up in the sky
The spin of the earth

I woke up the other night
Lying on the floor
Right beside someone
I've never seen before
She said my name's Juliet
And Romeo you ain't
That's another good reason not to drink

That's another good reason not to drink
When I'm sober I'm almost a saint
If I keep going on like this
I'll end up like ole Hank
That's another good reason not to drink

I cant go see my best friend

I have felt it
And I have held it
I have known
A woman's love
I have tasted
And I have wasted
A woman's love
And I know
I'll never understand
All the little things
that make It grand
A woman's love
And I know
I'll never come Face to face
With any thing
that takes the Place
Of a woman's love

Well I have kiss it
Tried to resist it
I have missed
A woman's love
And I have hated

1. She said I don't usually dance this close to stangers
You know a girl can't be too careful with her heart
But I saw you and thought that you looked harmless
When you smile that way I'm not so sure you are

2. I said I don't usually come here for the dancin',
You can tell that by the way I move, When I saw you
I thought that it was hopeless
And I just had to ask you for a dance or two

Verse 1 :
The time has come, you're really leavin'
You always told me that you wanted to
I guess I never thought it would happen
I guess I never really wanted it to
The world is callin' you and you must answer
But you can take me with you in your dreams, and

Refrain :
If you ever get back to Amarillo
In a shiny new car or worn out shoes
If you ever get back to Amarillo
