[instrumental]

Oh beautiful, if you were mine
I would write you letters and pour you sweet wine
Oh beautiful, why you so blue?
If you can only see the way I see you
Oh gravity weighing on my soul
Keeps bringing you round back to me
Like dirt to a stone
Oh gravity, don't you ever go to sleep
Might wake up in the morning
and she'll be gone from your reach
Oh beautiful, if you were mine
I would write you letters and pour you sweet wine
Oh beautiful, why you so blue?
If you only can see the way I see you

Happiness is a bottle, happiness is pain
Happiness is a woman who you love till she goes on and shames you
Happiness is value, happiness is a poem
Happiness is a lie for you know the calm before the storm
Ain't nobody love you better, ain't nobody but me
And all I want is a fair shake at love,
get a little something for free
(Love ain't a love song) love ain't a love song
(love ain't a love song)
Tell me baby yeah (love ain't a love song)
Hip them all to the city
Hip them all to the scene?
Hip them all to the woman you want bringing them all to their knees
Hip them all to the badlands
Hip them all to the stars
All I know is the woman I knew didn't get me too far
Ain't nobody love you better, ain't nobody but me
And all I want is a fair shake at love, get a little something for free
Ain't nobody work harder, ain't nobody love you more
All I know it's the fall of a man wearing the crown of thorns
(Love ain't a love song) love ain't a love song
(Love ain't a love song)
Tell me baby yeah (love ain't a love song)
love ain't a love song
(Love ain't a love song)
Ain't nobody love you better, ain't nobody but me
All I want is a fair shake at love, get a little something for free
Ain't nobody work harder, ain't nobody love you more
All I know is the fall of a man wearing the crown of thorns
(Love ain't a love song) love ain't a love song
(Love ain't a love song) tell me baby yeah
(Love ain't a love song) love ain't a love song
(Love ain't a love song) Can tell me baby
(Love ain't a love song) love ain't a love song
(Love ain't a love song)

Hard to breath, the airs been stolen
Without my suit, blues been swollen
It's hot as Hades
And it ain't ever noon
'Cause hanging round with you is like living on the moon
Threw me out, guess we're even
Took me back when I was leaving
Something tells me it was all too soon
'Cause hanging round with you is like living on the moon
There are times where you're the best thing on earth
When the sun comes up we stop throwing the dirt
Hard to keep my feet on the ground
Love the ups, hate the downs
If I steer right I might make it to the dunes
'Cause hanging out with you is like living on the moon
(Oh hit me now)
There are times where you're the best thing on earth
When the sun comes up we stop throwing the dirt
Maybe we just need some space
I'll leave my bag here just in case
Sometimes I feel like I've been marooned
'Cause hanging round with you is like living on the moon
'Cause hanging round with you is like living on the moon

Maybe I'm done crying all them tears
Maybe this love ain't a souvenir
I hope I ain't being a fool
'Cause love going wrong can be so cruel
Maybe I'm walking right into a trap
Maybe some karma just gettin' me back
Maybe this dust on my hands is gold
'Cause heartbreak follows me wherever I go
Winds in my favor, suns at my back
I don't pay those dues and I'm due some money back
You look like your
Life's been a mess
Was it just like me
I've been down to the bottom and I know it hurts
I've been kicked in the chin baby
I've grown in the dirt
Winds in my favor, suns at my back
I don't pay those dues and I'm due some money back
You look like your
Life's been a mess
It's just like me
I've been down to the bottom and I know that it hurts
I've been kicked in the chin baby
I've grown in the dirt
Maybe I left it all behind
Different town at another time
Cover my tracks, wear a disguise
Looking for a little piece of mind
Maybe the truth is just a lie
Maybe there's no good reason why
Maybe this dust on my hands is gold
'Cause heartbreak follows me where ever I go
Heartbreak follows me where ever I go
Heartbreak follows me where ever I go

She left a letter on the table
Said she'd be home by five
The smell of old coffee lingers on my mind
I want to wait to hear those footsteps
Climb those old creaky stairs
Every lonely night I miss her presence everywhere
I cry to the sky above
Never give all your heart to love
I cry to the sky above
Never give all your heart to love
Familiar places that we went to become like dying vines
Each a painful reminder of love and better times
Such a hard time to get over
Such a deep love that's lost
From the sun, the morning dew, the moon, the evening frost
I cry to the sky above
Never give all your heart to love
I cry to the sky above
Never give all your heart to love
I cry to the sky above
Never give all your heart to love
The heat of passion will deceive you
Make you a different man
Turns peasants to kings
Dry dirt to fertile land
So I've joined the walking wounded
Had my gun at my side
Some surrender, others march until they die
With the promise of you just enough
I cry to the sky above
Never give all your heart to love
I cry to the sky above
Never give all your heart to love
I cry to the sky above
Never give all your heart to love

Put down that two pack habit yesterday
Threw that shot glass just to watch it break
My whiskey bottle turned upside down in the drain
Those wild women that's a whole nother thing
I give up everything baby
I give up everything for you
I got nothing left to lose
I gave up everything for you, 'cept the blues
Went on a diet yeah I'm eating good
Gave up the things you said I should
Fit as a fiddle girl I lost 10 pounds
So why am I so damn down?
I gave up everything now
I gave up everything for you
I got nothing left to lose
I gave up everything for you, 'cept the blues
Put out the reefer, no more getting stoned
Trade in my fast car for a motor home
Took all my demons put 'em in a sack
How come I still feel there's a monkey on my back
I gave up everything baby
I gave up everything for you
I got nothing left to lose
I gave up everything for you, 'cept the blues
I had the good life in the days I was king
Ain't nothing left now but the same old blues I sing
Gave up everything baby
I gave up everything for you
I got nothing left to lose
I gave up everything for you, 'cept the blues

The suns been shining down on me day and night
I'm getting away with murder living a lucky life
All good things finally come to an end
Hit ya like a train if you try to pretend
Everybody knows that she broke your heart
Everybody knows that it's tearing you apart
The boat you've been sailing on sprung a leak
You won't admit it but it's starting to make you weak
When you got nothing left to lose
Might sound good but I'm not sure that's true
You carry the pain around and that sees you through
The different shades of blue
I can tell by the way you
You hang your head
The way you cast your eyes
And the things you haven't said
You've got the past ten years written on your face
Your whole damn life's been one big race
Everybody goes there whether they want to or not
Everybody starts to hold on to what they got
And started settling in for the long haul
You realize baby oh you can't have it all
When you got nothing left to lose
Might sound good but I'm not sure that's true
You carry the pain around and that's what sees you through
The different shades of blue
When you got nothing left to lose
Might sound good but I'm not sure that's true
You carry the pain around and that's what sees you through
The different shades of blue

What goes around comes back around
Your hollow words they echo now
For you to keep when you're alone
So you can lie to yourself when I'm gone
It's a bitter pill to swallow
Can you taste the pain and sorrow?
Go on and beg and steal and borrow
But that won't get back my tomorrow
Hey yeah
What hurts to learn will make you wise
Was it worth the burn to get to this goodbye?
I'd rather stall again on this dirt floor
Crawl my way back to the man I was before
It's a bitter pill to swallow
Can you taste the pain and sorrow?
Go on and beg and steal and borrow
But that won't get back my tomorrow
Yeah take all the time you need
Ya ain't taking no more from me!
It's a bitter pill to swallow
Can you taste the pain and sorrow?
Go on and beg and steal and borrow
But that won't get back my tomorrow
It's a bitter pill to swallow
Can you taste the pain and sorrow?
Go on and beg and steal and borrow
But that won't get back my tomorrow

I believe
Believe the devil came my way
I believe the evil things she had to say
I've been lost by the road side waiting on the break of day
I've been round and round
Shed my fair share of tears
I've been round and round
Wasted all my tender years
Now I'm doing all I can
To find my way out of here
Ya got me running, got me running
To where I just don't know
Got me running, got me running
To where I just don't know
Far from trouble town is where I gotta go
And I, don't I always tell the truth
And I, don't I always tell the truth
'Cause one look of that woman
Tell me what I have to do
Ya got me running, got me running
To where I just don't know
Ya got me running, got me running
To where I just don't know
Far from trouble town is where I gotta go
Ya for me running, got me running
To where I just don't know
Ya got me running, got me running
To where I just don't know
Far from trouble town is where I gotta go
(Far from the trouble town)
Far from trouble town is where I gotta go
Got me running babe

Home for a day
Six more nights baby
When I go on the road
Feel my presence diminishing baby
All I need is the truth and a faith
That true love brings
Bless your soul for loving me
And my faults included
Oh I know
You're the rock
That keeps me grounded
I know it can be a long, winding road
You know I love you so
All I have is you on my mind
You're all that's left for me in my life
'Cause I want to know
You've seen enough with me
'Cause I will survive
This long time away
So, what would I do?
Just sit and suffer baby
So, what would I do?
I could go on without you darling
Oh, I don't know
Now I want to know
You see a life with me
I'll survive this long time away
So, what would I do?
Just sit and suffer baby
So, what would I do?
I could go on without you darling
Oh, I don't know
