I've Got That Old Feeling [Rounder] lyrics

(John Pennell)

I don't need a perfect lover to hold me in the rain
Someone to ease my pain when I feel blue
If I lost you to another, think I'd drown out here for sure
Won't you stay with me and be my only cure?

Dark skies may cloud my day
But that don't bother me
As long as I can hold you close to me.

I don't need a part time lover to leave me in the cold

(R. Rasnake)

Endless highway, as far as I can see
The road'll take me back to him tonight
It's been so long since I've seen him smile
I'll be counting all the miles 'til I get home.

How many hours 'til I hold him?
How many days before we hit the road again?
Endless highway, he don't know how much I miss him
Heading down this road, bound for Tennessee.

Lonesome feeling deep inside my heart

(Sidney Cox)

No matter what I say or do,
I just can't seem to get inside your heart
What have I done wrong?
Lately you're so far away,
You just don't seem to hold me like you used to
Something's going on.

I've got that old feeling, you're leaving
I'm so tired of goodbye
I can't wait on your love forever
While you change your mind.

Morning finds us face to face

(Nelson Mandrell)

The nights are so lonely and the days pass me by
True love has faded, left me behind
So we'll just move along and stop wasting time
It's over all over now.

It's over, end of the line
It's over and you're doing fine
It's over and over and over
I'm asking why you're leaving, it's over now.

Gone are the love songs that only we knew

(Sidney Cox)

Lost in the silence surrounded by daydreams
Holding that someone that's holding my heart
Thrilled with the mem'ry of the smile that you gave me
Gives a close feeling though we're far apart.

The longest highway runs between us
Though you're just a heartbeat away
When I think of you my heart knows no distance
I've got you with me every day.

(John Pennell)

Just give me one good reason to stay tonight
Must be something you could say to me
To keep me warm on this cold dark night
Can you bring out the best in me.

That old moon in shining brightly
Up above the midnight plains
I only want your love to guide me back through the night
And take us home again.

Can I bring out the best in you as well
Must be some way you could let me know

(Louise Branscomb)

Steel rails chasin' sunshine round the bend
Winding through trees like a ribbon in the wind
I don't mind not knowing what lies down the track
'Cause I'm looking out ahead to keep my mind from turning back.

It's not the first time I found myself alone at dawn
If I really had you once then I'd have you when I'm gone
Whistle blowing blowin' lonesome in my mind

(Rick Bowles - Barbara Wyrick)

You've made up your mind we don't want the same thing
And that we won't change things
Wishin' there were ways
And there's no use staying together
Nothing lasts forever that's what you say.

And that makes one of us not in love
And that makes one of us who can't give up
If you can walk away from the life we've made
Then that makes one of us.

(John Pennell)

You may walk away in anger
Wear your heart upon your sleeve
You make act like it don't matter
Keep me laughing while you leave.

But burning bridges won't get me back
If you change your mind some day
Why can't we turn this scene around
Before you walk away.

Will you be leaving leaving me today
Like the ocean leaves us waiting on
The sand crumbling in our hand

(Nelson Mandrell)

Oh, it seems the sun will never shine
The skies are so gray
And the heart you left broken is lonely
The winter wind blows through the trees
And with the song I sing
I long for the days you loved me only.

Sorrow lingers
Shadows only fill the empty room
Nights of lonely cries unheard
In the winter of a broken heart.

Oh, the nights will never be the same
As when the love was new

(Sidney Cox)

Walking out on me must be the way
You show me how it feels to be her
I realize the fault is mine
I'm getting everything that I deserve.

It's over and older the tears seem much colder
Sunshiny days seem to be so blue
It's over and older the tears seem much colder
Each passing day I wish I still had you.

--- Instrumental ---

My troubles would be all over now
