If you don’t wanna love me I got someone who will If you don’t want my kisses, if that’s how you feel There’s a man at the backdoor waitin’, to come on in (that’s right) And if you don’t wanna hold me through the night If you don’t wanna squeeze me, well, that’s alright There’s a man at the backdoor waitin’, to come on in Well, you know I love you with all my heart I give all I got to you But I can’t keep waiting for you to start Loving me like you used to do. So if you ain’t gonna love me I got someone who will if you don’t want my kisses, if that’s how you feel There’s a man at the backdoor waitin’, to come on in (that’s right) Darlin’ I’m askin’ you one last time to tell me the way you feel Are you gonna show me you’re mine, all mine and your love for me is real. But if you ain’t gonna love me I got someone who will if you don’t want my kisses, if that’s how you feel There’s a man at the backdoor waitin’, to come on in (that’s right) And if you don’t wanna hold me through the night If you don’t wanna squeeze me, well, that’s alright There’s a man at the backdoor waitin’, There’s a man at the backdoor waitin’ There’s a man at the backdoor waitin’, to come on in

The Way I Do 03:11
lyrics

Mama always told me that a lady would never sit all alone in a bar until 2:00 But mama never had her heart broken by you the way I do, the way I do Mama always told me that a lady would never think of drinking whiskey the whole night through But mama never needed to forget a man like you the way I do, the way I do Well, my mama never met a man like you If she did, she’d be here drinking whiskey too. Oh and my mama always told me that a lady would never let a tall dark stranger see her through but mama never knew how it felt to be this blue the way I do, the way I do Well, my mama never met a man like you If she did, she’d be here drinking whiskey too. Oh and my mama always told me that a lady would never let a tall dark stranger see her through But mama never needed to forget a man like you the way I do, the way I do

You Took It All 03:13

There’s nothing to say in a letter And the phone just hangs off the wall Not a thing for me to do around here Coz when you left, honey, you took it all And I got… 4 bare walls to talk to A table and a chair A lonely bed Lord I crawl into and when I reach out, there ain’t nobody there I’m gonna buy me a bottle of whiskey I’m gonna drink it till the cows come home I know they’ll get here sooner than you and then at least I won’t be alone with these 4 bare walls to talk to A table and a chair A lonely bed Lord I crawl into and when I reach out, there ain’t nobody there I’m gonna find myself a new lover I’m gonna go out and find a new man When you come hangin’ round at my door They’ll be nobody home to let you back in

These Eyes 03:06
lyrics

Boy you broke my heart such a long time ago I was just a baby then, I didn’t know What I do today, if I did You never would have made me cry. Now that I’m older, well, I’ve grown wise You hurt me once but you can’t hurt me twice If you think I’m fooling around, Look into these eyes These eyes cried a river of tears These eyes were angry for years This heart remembers the day You threw my love away Baby once I gave you my heart and my soul You treated me like a miner treats gold For a while I thought, You were the only one for me Lookin’ at you now, you’re tryin’ to be nice After you cut through my heart like a knife I don’t feel nothin’ no more Look into these eyes. These eyes cried a river of tears These eyes were angry for years This heart remembers the day You threw my love away

End of the Highway 02:36
lyrics
buy track
Never thought I’d have another broken heart I thought I was far too wise So why am I sitting here nursing these blues Wishing I could turn back time Chorus And that light at the end of the highway don’t mean nothing if I’m walking alone Tell me why does my love up and fly away just about the time I try to take it home Chorus I never thought I’d find myself so hurt and confused I thought I controlled my mind So why am I siting here nursing these blues wishing I could turn back time Chorus And that light at the end of the highway don’t mean nothing if I’m walking alone Tell me why does my love up and fly away just about the time I try to take it home I never thought I’d hear the lonely sound of goodbye I thought this Hello would last So why is there no one here to care I cry Just memories and a photograph Chorus And that light at the end of the highway don’t mean nothing if I’m walking alone Tell me why does my love up and fly away just about the time I try to take it home

Mama my man ran off & left me all alone with the kid & the dog and the mortgage on our home hate to call you up so late & get you out of bed mama oh mama, you always said CHORUS call me if you need me, come home anytime me & daddy don’t have much money, we’ll share every dime we’ll always love you, no matter what you do feel free to come on home & we’ll take care of you” VERSE 2 when I come home, I can feel the pain leave my eyes I sleep just like a little baby , dreaming lullabies I can feel the hardness in my heart melt away …. I feel like a little girl again & everything’s okay CHORUS VERSE 3 I know the Lord must love me, cause he gave me you.. to lift my spirits when I’m down, & cheer me when I’m blue I hope if you ever need to, you can come to me so I can give back a little bit of love you gave to me for free CHORUS So mama, call me if you need me, come home anytime I don’t have a whole lotta money, but I’ll share every dime I’ll always love you , no matter what you do…. .feel free to come here mama, I’ll take care of you feel free to come on home and I’ll take care of you
