Lyrics

Here I am a stranger in a lonely town With no friends around to pass the time Lord knows it gets harder to start over As the years go rollin’ down the line If I care to look the truth is plain to see I’ve strained the ties that bind so long, they finally set me free Now it’s hard listenin’ to Waylon sing those old ramblin’ songs It’s hard forgettin’ when every word reminds me of home I used to date this gal, we were a sight to see So young and free, and numb to time Now I’m gettin’ older and carry on my shoulders All the memories of her and I Things don’t always work out quite the way you plan Lord knows it aint easy to love a hurtin’ man Now it’s hard listenin’ to Patsy Cline sing those old love songs It’s hard forgettin’ when every word reminds me that you’re gone The nights don’t get no shorter in this lonely town The only friends I’ve found are old sad songs My record player’s older; but my heart still spins in circles With the loneliness of love since you’ve been gone If I care to look the truth is plain to see I’ve strained the ties that bind so long, will I ever be free Now it’s hard listenin’ to Willie sing those old hurtin’ songs And it’s hard forgettin’ when every word reminds me that you’re gone
