Great Tompall And His Outlaw Band lyrics

A long time forgotten are dreams that just fell by the way
And the good life he promised ain't what she's living today
But she never complains of the bad times or the bad things he's done Lord
She just talks about the good times they've had and all the good times to come
Now she's a good hearted woman loves with a good timin' man

They said in her younger days her beauty was enough to drive men wild
But the hunger in her body then was not the hunger of some lonely child
Like a butterfly in springtime searching every field for loving's sweetest rose
The embrace of many strangers still could not release her from the hold
In the backstreets and the bedrooms all she's found is disappointments bitterly

I can't remember what I used to do
Before I met you and before I loved you
I can't remember what I used to do without you
Seems that I loved you since time began
Now that I've lost you gotta learn to live again
But I can't remember what life was like without you
Wonder if I kiss somebody then a long long time ago
Was I happy then oh was I lonely then now I really don't know

If I'd only come and gone the way I've always done with summer girls before
Shared one night with you and never reached for more
Then we wouldn't face this long and painful rightin' of the wrong
If I'd just come and gone
If I hadn't stayed so long but merely parked my dusty boots oyutside your door
Traced no footprints cross your polished hardwood floor

There was a time when I thought of no other and we sang our own love's refrain
Our hearts beat as one while we had our fun but time changes everything
When you left me my poor heart was broken our romance seemed all in vain
I guess it was true for me and for you but time changes everything
[ guitar ]
You can change the words to an old song rearrange it and make it swing

We live in two different worlds dear that's why we're so far apart
You made your world out of vows that were broken I built the world in my heart

Everyone here tried to warn me you were just playing a game
I told them all we were meant for each other and our two worlds were the same
We live in two different worlds dear...
[ guitar - fiddle ]
We live in two different worlds dear...

A glamour of the gay night life has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquor flow
Where you wait to be anybody's baby and give off the only love you'll ever know
It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you and went back to the wild side of life
[ dobro - guitar ]
