Well her old friend, from her own end of town dropped by today,
And way down deep inside me something died
When he came 'round to see her that way.
Here it comes again, that same old chilly wind
Will blow like a cold winter squall.
And I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall.
And I'll be drinking again and thinking whenever he calls,
There's a storm coming on, it won't be too long till the snow falls.
Oh I'll be sobersome,
But when October comes and goes and no time at all
I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall.
Oh how quick they slip away, here today and gone tomorrow.
Love and seasons never stay, bitter winds are sure to follow.
Now there's no doubt, it's gonna be cold out tonight;
I've shivered all day, and when I look in her eyes
Needing to hold her so tight, she just looks away.
Oh she'll swear that it's true, he's just someone she knew
Long ago, and I'll know that's not all,
And I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall.
Oh I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall.

The guys down at the job all want to know
How things are goin' since I let you go
I laugh and say my heart ain't missed a beat
I've convinced everybody but me
Chorus
I'm all right, I'm okay, that's what I always say
When they ask me how I'm doing without you
I say I'm glad I'm free and if they all believe
I've convinced everybody but me
I'm the life of the party every night
Nobody knows I'm dyin' deep inside
I don't hurt at all as far as they can see
I've convinced everybody but me
(Chorus)
I smile in every mirror
Like I'm such a happy man
But my heart knows what a liar I am
(Chorus)
Yes, I've convinced everybody but me
. . .

We both said some things
I know we never meant
And when I slammed the door tonight
You wondered where I went
If I know you, you're probably wondering what to do
You're thinking that I'm gone for good
If I know you
Chorus:
But if I know me
I'll turn this car around
I won't get halfway through town
And I'll be sorry
I'll stop and call
And you'll say you're sorry too
And I'll come running back to you
If I know me
Sometimes I lose me head
Say things to break your heart
Forgetting if I lost your love
It would tear my world apart
If I know you, you didn't mean
A single word you said
Truth be known your dying crying
Lying there in bed
Chorus
And I know me
. . .

Baby since you left me I've found someone new
She thinks I'm perfect I swear
She likes my body, my class, and my charm
She says I've got a confident air
She respects my ambition, thinks I'm talented too
But she's in love with an image time is bound to see through
Chorus:
You know me better than that
You know the me that gets lazy and fat
How moody I can be
All my insecurities
You've seen me lose all my charm
You know I was raised on a farm
Oh she tells her I'm perfect
And that I love her cat
But you know me better than that
I miss picnics and blue jeans and buckets of beer
Now it's ballet and symphony hall
I'm in culture clean up to my ears
It's like wearn' a shoe that's too small
Oh I caught her with an issue of brides magazine
Starin' at dresses and pickin' out rings
Repeat Chorus
Oh she tells her friends I'm perfect
And that I love that cat
Oh, but you know me better than that

If you have any left of her kisses
When you're through with your latest affair
Don't let them just waste, I know how they taste
I'll take anything you can spare
And if you have a few idle moments
If you're lonely and nobody's there
I'll gladly fill in until you find a new friend
I'll take anything you can spare
Yes, I'll even take some heartaches from you
Though I've already more than my share
I love you all the time, so baby keep me in mind
I'll take anything you can spare
. . .

Haven't got a worry
Haven't got a care
I haven't got a thing to call my own
Though I'm out of money
I'm a millionaire
I still have my home in San Antone
When I greet my neighbor with a "hi y'all"
I'm wealthy as a king upon a throne
You can have your mansion or your cottage small
I'll just take my home in San Antone
Traveling around the country
On my merry way
I've been to crowds and felt I was alone
But when I feel like braggin'
I just up and say
I'm a native son of San Antone
There's a sweet somebody by the Alamo
Someday she's going to be my very own
And we'll buy a high chair in a year or so
For our little home in San Antone
. . .

Chorus:
I got a feelin' called the blues
Oh lord since my baby said goodbye
(Hey Lord) I don't know what I'll do
All I do is sit and sigh
Oh Lord, The last long day she said goodbye
Hey Lord I thought I would cry
She'll do me
She'll do you
She's got that kind of lovin'
and lord I love to hear her
when she calls me sweat daddy
Such a beautiful dream
I hate to think it's all over
I lost my heart it seems
I've grown so used to you somehow
lord I'm nobody's sugar daddy now
I'm lonesome
I got the lovesick blues
Hey I'm in love
I'm in love with a beautiful gal
that's whats the matter with me
Hey I'm in love
I'm in love with a beautiful gal
but she don't care about me
Hey Lord I tried and I tried
to keep her satisfied
but that gal wouldn't stay
and now that she is leavin'
this is all I can say
Chorus
. . .

Well I woke up this mornin'
Looked outdoors
I can tell my milk cow
I can tell by the way she lows
If you see my milk cow
Please drive her on home
Cause I ain't had no milk and butter
Since that cows been gone
Well you gotta treat me right honey
Day by Day
Get out your little prayer book
Get down upon your knees and pray
Cause you're gonna need me
You're gonna need my help someday
Lord you're gonna be sorry
Ou, you treated me this a way
Aw, now take it away boys
Sail on, Sail on, Sail on little gal, Sail on
Sail on, Sail on, Sail on little gal, Sail on
You're gonna keep right on sailing
Till you lose your happy home
Well good evening
Don't that sun look good going down
I said well good evening
Don't that sun look good going down
Don't that ol' army cot look lonely
When your lover ain't no place around
Well I tried everything baby
To get along with you
Now I'm gonna tell you
What I'm gonna do
I'm gonna stop my cryin'
Gonna leave you alone
And if you don't think I'm leavin' big momma
Just count the days I'm gone
You ain't gonna see me
You ain't gonna see my sweet face no more
Lord you gonna be wondering honey
Where in this world I've gone
Milk Cow Blues

She's an angel and I ain't
Lord knows she deserves a saint
And it don't take a genius to see
Her only bad habit is me
Why she loves me I don't know
I can sure be a hard way to go
But I'm right here where she wants me to be
Her only bad habit is me
Chorus:
Most of the time I'm walking the line
But sometimes I get out of hand
My baby scolds me and later on she holds me
She loves me and she understands
She's perfection, she's a ten
My baby never looks at other men
She has just one weakness I see
Her only bad habit is me
Most of the time I'm walking the line
But sometimes I get out of hand
My baby scolds me and later on she holds me
She loves me and she understands
She's perfection, she's a ten
My baby never looks at other men
She has just one weakness I see
Her only bad habit is me
. . .

The years have been
So good to you and I my friend
They brought us to the Autumn wind
And left the tears behind
And who'd have dreamed
That love could grow so endlessly
And you'd have meant so much to me
Is it already time
Chorus:
And I will always love you so
We'll hold each other close until it's time to go
And we believed we had forever on our side
Is it already time
Chorus
And we believed we had forever on our side
Is it already time
