"I'd Never Told On You"

"I'd Never Told On You"


Nobody knew you were hurting me
As long as you were mine no one else could see
But you left me then you left him and he told the things you do
But if you'd love me I'd never told on you.

I was loyal to the pain that you put me through
Even the one who took you never knew
But you left me then you left him and he told the things you do
But if you'd love me I'd never told on you.

But you left me then you left him and he told the things you do
But if you'd love me I'd never told on you...

"I'd Rather Be Gone"

"I'd Rather Be Gone"


I feel like a stranger in this home I built for you
And I can't understand this awful change you're going through
But lately, I've been watching you grow colder every day
And I'd rather be gone, than in your way

I'd rather be gone, than in your way
I'd rather see someone else here, in my place
And if I decide on leaving, my world will end today
But I'd rather be gone, than in your way

I'd rather be gone, than in your way
I'd rather see someone else here, in my place
And if I decide on leaving, my world will end today
But I'd rather be gone, than in your way
I'd rather be gone

"I'd Trade All Of My Tomorrows"

"I'd Trade All Of My Tomorrows"


I'd trade all of my tomorrow's for just one yesterday
For my life's no good if I can't have your love
I'd trade all of my tomorrow's, they're worth less anyway
If I can't hold the one I'm dreamin' of

Just an empty world is all I have before me
I'd give anything if you were with me now
I'd trade all of my tomorrow's for just one yesterday
For my life's no good without you anyhow

Just an empty world is all I have before me
I'd give anything if you were with me now
I'd trade all of my tomorrow's for just one yesterday
For my life's no good without you anyhow

"I'll Always Know"

"I'll Always Know"


Revenge must be the reason
Why forgiveness was a thing I never knew
And someday soon I know you plan to hurt me
But don't plan on getting by with the things you do.

'Cause I'll always know when you been cheating
And I'll always know you've been untrue
I'll always know.

Your heart is like a window
But when I look inside I see another man
But go on and lie and tell him how you fooled me
But remember I saw through you're evil plan.

'Cause I'll always know when you been cheating
And I'll always know you've been untrue
I'll always know.

And don't forget it either.

"I'll Break Out Again Tonight"

"I'll Break Out Again Tonight"


Slowly the long day turns to night
And soon they'll turn out the prison lights
But in my cell I'm making plans
To be with you at home again.

These walls and bars can't hold a dreamin' man
So I'll be home to tuck the babies in
They can chain my body but not my mind
And I'll break out again tonight.

The warden thinks I'm in for life
'Cause all he's ever seen me wear is stripes
He don't know bout my blue suit and my tie
That I wear when I'm with you each night.

These walls and bars can't hold a dreamin' man
So I'll be home to tuck the babies in
They can chain my body but not my mind
And I'll break out again tonight.

And I'll break out again tonight...

"I'll Get By (As Long As I Have You)"

"I'll Get By (As Long As I Have You)"


I'll get by as long as I have you
Though there'll be rain and darkness too
I'll not complain, I'll see it through

Poverty may come to me, it's true
But what care I, say
I'll get by as long as I have you

Poverty may come to me, it's true
But what care I
I'll get by as long as I have you

"I'll Leave The Bottle On The Bar"

"I'll Leave The Bottle On The Bar"


A loser doesn't always know he's losing
Till he's lost the game and it's too late to win
I hope I'll call in time and you'll forgive me
Cause I want so much to come back home again.

And I'll leave the bottle on the bar
If you'll take me back to start anew
I'll leave the bottle on the bar
I'll sober up and come back home to you.

I stood by and let the bottle come between us
And I let it through me time and time again
Before I thought the wine was all I needed
But now I see just what a fool I've been.

And I'll leave the bottle on the bar
If you'll take me back to start anew
I'll leave the bottle on the bar
I'll sober up and come back home to you...

"I'll Look Over You"

"I'll Look Over You"


I'll look over things you do because I love you so,
And I'll be standing on the sidelines while you play.
It's your life to live the way you want to live,
And I'll look over you if you'll just let me stay.

It's no fault of yours if I can't give the thrill you need,
And I know someday you'll find someone who can.
Though it hurts to see you stare at every guy you see,
I'll look over you and try to understand.

I'll look over things you do because I love you so,
And I'll be standing on the sidelines while you play.
It's your life to live the way you want to live,
And I'll look over you if you'll just let me stay.

"I'll Sign My Heart Away"

"I'll Sign My Heart Away"


I'll sign my heart away in court tomorrow,
When I sign the papers that will set you free.
But to part this way is to my sorrow,
My heart will brake to see them take your love away.

I'll tell my friends I'm glad it's all over,
But when I do I'll wipe the tears away.
You'll smile and take the hand of your new lover,
After tomorrow when I sign my heart away.

I'll take the blame give back the name you wanted,
He's done you wrong I'll hear the law say.
But they'll never know how I'll be haunted,
After tomorrow when I sign my heart away.

"I'm A Good Loser"

"I'm A Good Loser"


Yeah I'm a good loser born to be that way this dog he never had his day
Yeah I'm a good loser so don't worry bout my pride
Me don't look back you can't see my hurt inside

There must be a sin I'm payin' for cause I felt my share of heartaches long before
This same life runs in cicles I can't say they're wrong
My lucks been running bad too long
But I'm a good loser...
[guitar]
There's no sign of changes coming soon and I may never sing another tune
Cause losin' you would probly be my biggest hurt today
But don't you let my feelin's make your way
Cause I'm a good loser...
