He Stopped Lovin Her Today
He said I'll love you 'til I die She told him you'll forget in time As the years went slowly by She still preyed upon his mind He kept her picture on his wall Went half crazy now and then He still loved her through it all Hoping she'd come back again Kept some letters by his bed Dated 1962 He had underlined in red Every single I love you I went to see him just today Oh but I didn't see no tears All dressed up to go away First time I'd seen him smile in years (Chorus) He stopped loving her today They placed a wreath upon his door And soon they'll carry him away He stopped loving her today (Spoken) You know she came to see him one last time Oh and we all wondered if she would And it kept running through my mind This time he's over her for good |
Beer Run
(with Garth Brooks) Twenty-five minutes past quiting time Seven of us crammed into that truck of mine Payin' no attention to them highway signs Ninety mile an hour toward the county line Quick sack, twelve pack, back again Its a B - double E - double R - U - N My buddies and their babies lettin' down their hair As long as we're together it don't matter where Ain't got a lot of money but we just don't care Knowing that the fun is in the gettin' there Aztec, long necks, paycheck spent Oh its a B - double E - double R - U - N I can't stop thinkin' what the Hell they were drinkin' When they made this county dry I got a week long thirst and to make it worse Lord its my turn to drive Oh laughin' and a braggin' and a carryin' on We loaded up the wagons and we're headin' home I guess half a dozen cases doesn't last that long Come tomorrow morning it'll be all gone And its turn around, leave town, sounds again Like a B - double E - double R - U - N Like a B - double E - double R - U - N The Race is On
I feel tears wellin' up cold and deep inside Like my heart's sprung a big break And the stab of loneliness, sharp and painful That I may never shake Now you might say that I was taking it hard Since you wrote me off with a call But don't you wager that I'll hide the sorrow When I may break right down and bawl Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch Heartaches are going to the inside My tears are holding back They're trying not to fall My heart's out of the running True love's scratched for another's sake The race is on and it looks like heartaches And the winner loses all One day I had ventured in love, never once suspecting What the final results would be How I lived in fear of waking up each morning And finding that you'd gone from me There's aching and pain in my heart For the day was the one that I hated to face Somebody new came up to win her And I came out in second place Now the race is on and here comes pride up the backstretch Heartaches are going to the inside My tears are holding back They're trying not to fall My heart's out of the running True love's scratched for another's sake The race is on and it looks like heartaches And the winner loses all |
