Альбом Hank Williams Jr.

So September follows August I don't mind so three and four and five come after two
Will anything mean anything do I care what tomorrow brings
I only wonder what comes after you
After you when someone smiles at me I'll wonder what's the price
After you I'll be suspecious of anything that's nice
I don't know that I'll get over you but if I ever do
I'll never love this much again not after you

Loving you it was just too good to last forever
So the world could end tomorrow I won't care
After you when someone tells me there's no heaven on this earth
I can say that I know better I've been there
After you when someone smiles...

She only likes big parties with folks of social fame
She knows them all the big and small even calls them by first names
But there's no place for me in that world where she spends all her time
She's just a name dropper and now she's droppin' mine
But there was a time when her love was mine and she was proud to be
Just my wife and a simple life and her whole world was me
But beer just ain't the same after you tasted imported wine
She's just a name dropper and now she's droppin' mine

But there was a time...
She's just a name dropper and now she's droppin' mine she's droppin' mine

I love you I'll prove it in days to come
I swear it's true darling you're the only one
I think of you of the past and all our fun
I love you I'll prove it in days to come

You're my darling you've been true
I should have been good to you
You're the one that's in my heart
While we're apart

I'll be true I'll prove it to you some day
I love you in my heart you'll always stay
I've been so blue and lonesome all these days
I love you I'll prove it a thousand ways

I'll be nice and sweet to you and no more will you be blue
I'll prove I love you every day all kinds of ways
Darling please wait please wait until I'm free
There'll be a change a great change made in me
I'll be true you'll have no more blue days
I love you and I'll prove it a thousand ways

Loving me to you seems such a bother
You made it so easy for me to love another
So don't you blame her for stealing me you let her
Cause where your love stopped she went a little bit farther
Why you changed so much I was more at ease with a stranger
And it wasn't so hard our love was already in danger
Now she does everything that pleases me that you never
And where your love stopped she went a little bit farther
She went a little bit farther just to make me feel love
She considered my feelings now she's all that I'm thinking of
So don't blame her for stealing me you know you let her
And where your love stopped she went a little bit farther

Yeah where your love stopped she went a little bit farther

I wish you'd look who's crawling back to you I never thought I'd live to see today
I swore to you the day I left this time I'd go for good
And I was even proud enough to tell myself I could
But it took a lot of lonely nights to ever change my mind
It took a lot of missing youth and things that I'd left behind
Intending to keep going but the going it got too rough
And pride's not hard to swallow once you chewed it long enough

I know we won't always see eye to eye
But if you'll take me back this time I'll really try
So many things I could have done so much I failed to do
I've never needed anyone as much as I need you
And it took a lot of lonely nights...

Well somebody's hurtin' and I know why
And he's a livin' in torment from a love that won't die
He thought it was funny when she walked out on him
Now the love that he laughed out he can't cry back in
He faces the sunrise and prays for the night
And when the darkness gets around him then he prays for the light
His mixed up emotions just keep choking him
Cause the love that he laughed out he can't cry back in
Now you've heard the story of one foolish man
By now you know it's me so give me some pitty if you can
I know it's all over but when will it end
This love that I laughed out I can't cry back in
The love that I laughed out Lord I can't cry back in

Oh show me a home with a back breakin' lawn and a wife that nudge night and day
And I'll show you a man with a drink in his hand
Who stands over the jukebox and plays
Country music those tear jerking songs about life the way it really is
He's not happy at home so he'll play them old songs
And dance with someone that's not his

When the man of the house has trouble with his spouse
And she locks him out of the bedroom
He'll just stroll down the street and some darlings he'll meet
To have a drink and play them old tune
Country music...

So take my advice and go out tonight to your favorite honky tonk bar
Play some Haggard and Tubb or Jones or Acuff or yours truly H-W-J-R
Or anyone else just as long as it's
Country music those tear jerking songs about life the way it really is
Have a good time tonight and hope that your wife don't ever find out what you did

I'm sittin' in Knoxville courthouse ain't got a thing to do
I don't wanna go to the movies couldn't if I wanted to cuz I'm on trial for lovin' you
Now this all started in a honky tonk just the other side of town
A girl come in took a stool by me ordered gin and drank it down
She lit up a cigarette sexly turned around
Well she said my name is Jannie and asked me what was mine
I answered Hank as I walked to the jukebox droppin' a dime
checked out her short dress low neck line
Well we danced for five or ten minutes and I held her close to me
Kissed her lips and squeezed her hips and judged about twenty three
Whispered in my ears I said yes siree
Now the scene is a little motel out on the state highway
There in room 12 little love is about to take place
And a state trooper breaks down the door shines a flash light in my face
I said what the hell is this and another man and woman come in
And the girl I'm with starts cryin' and screamin' and she runs over to them
Said thank God you're here he tried to hurt me mama
I said now you don't mean the cop says son the girl is seventeen
So that's why I'm in Knoxville courthouse and the judge passed sentence on me
And it's ten long years for statutory rape in the state penitentiary
Lord I can't believe this is happened to me
So when next time you give a girl the eye she gives you that certain smile
Just remember under that woman's breast may beat the heart of a child
Don't you let yourself be the one to help a mixed up kids go wild
This story happened a lot that's true
But you better hope and pray it never happens to you
