Everything Reminds Me That You're Gone - Buck Owens & His Buckaroos

Well I can see heaven See it over the plain If I start running now I think I can make it And never look back again Your face is all around me Your keys are in my hand And everywhere I go I'll try to remember Exactly who I am 'Cause now that you're gone I can breathe Now that you're gone I am free Free to make a mess of ever ything 'Cause nothing belongs to me 'Cause now that you're gone I can breathe We made a bed of roses But I got pricked by the thorns And on a long cold night I still think I'm bleeding But I wake up untorn Well I am a missing person I've lost it all but my name And, I'm afraid some long lonely road Will lead me back to you again Cause now that you're gone 'Cause now that you're gone I can breathe Now that you're gone I am free Free to make a mess of everything 'Cause nothing belongs to me Now that you're gone Now that you're gone Now that you're gone 'Cause now that you're gone I can breathe Now that you're gone I am free Free to make a mess of everything 'Cause nobody's watching me Now that you're gone I am free Now that you're gone I can breathe Now that you're gone I am free Now that you're gone I can breathe

My nights grow long My nights grow long Now that you're gone My nights grow long Now that you're gone Now that you're gone My nights grow long Now that you're gone Now that you're gone I'm living my life all alone Or hit by a blow To my pride But I'm doing OK I won't let you see What this has done to me I guess I'll just take it in stride Come what may My nights grow long My nights grow long Now that you're gone My nights grow long Now that you're gone Now that you're gone My nights grow long Now that you're gone How can one do what should be done by two I guess that's a crazy question to ask I might seem happy But don't be fooled by my appearance Make no mistake I'm just wearing a mask My nights grow long My nights grow long Now that you're gone My nights grow long Now that you're gone Now that you're gone My nights grow long Now that you're gone My nights grow long My nights grow long Now that you're gone My nights grow long Now that you're gone Now that you're gone My nights grow long Now that you're gone My nights grow long My nights grow long Now that you're gone My nights grow long Now that you're gone Now that you're gone My nights grow long Now that you're gone Now that you're gone Now that you're gone My nights grow long Now that you're gone My nights grow long My nights grow long Now that you're gone My nights grow long

I threw away a lifetime, you laughed and called it a sin There ain't ever gonna be a way to work it out not after a night like this I've been waiting on your call now, just the silence and me I know you want me to chase you around But I'm so tired of asking you please I'm through with this, I'll forget your kiss and move on There'll be no sleepless nights I'll be alright from now on I'm better off now that you're gone Better off now that you're gone You put me so far down, girl, I couldn't even stand on my own Ghosts of you would come back to me whenever I was alone Now the candles have all burned out and the doors are locked and chained Have no doubts, this time I've figured out a way to end all your games I'm through with this, I'll forget your kiss and move on There'll be no sleepless nights, I'll be alright from now on I'm better off now that you're gone Better off now that you're gone Nights spent with empty bottles and picking up broken glass I should've known from the very first night That this just never would last Oh, I'm through with this, I'll forget your kiss and move on There'll be no sleepless nights, I'll be alright from now on I'm better off now that you're gone Better off now that you're gone So much better off now that you're gone

She's in some honky-tonk tonight, I know She's dancing where the music's loud and lights are low In a crowded bar, she likes to hang around And as long as there's a honky-tonk, she'll never settle down So close up the honky-tonks, lock all the doors Don't let the one I love go there anymore Close up the honky-tonks, throw away the key Then maybe the one I love will come back to me I wish I had the power to turn back the time And live again the hours when she was all mine But it hurts to see her running with that crowd downtown And as long as there's a honky-tonk, she'll never settle down So close up the honky-tonks, lock all the doors Don't let the one I love go there anymore Close up the honky-tonks, throw away the key Then maybe the one I love will come back to me

So long we've been married, life burdens we've carried Though fate kept us humble and made our love true But plans that we'd make up, someone seems to break up Oh darling, what else can we do? We may have to leave here to find peace of mind, dear Some place where we can live a life of our own Oh, I know you love me and happy we could be If some folks would leave us alone When I go out walking, there's lots of loose talking They say we're unhappy and we'll break apart But darling, it's not true because I still love you And I do with all of my heart We may have to leave here to find peace of mind, dear Some place where we can live a life of our own Oh, I know you love me and happy we could be If some folks would leave us alone They say you are leaving that you are deceiving But you tell me they say the same about me But we'll show them there on that loose talk and do harm And hope that's the truth they will see We may have to leave here to find peace of mind, dear Some place where we can live a life of our own Oh, I know you love me and happy we could be If some folks would leave us alone

Oh, it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me I can see that far away look in your eyes I can tell by the way you hold me darlin', ooh That it won't be long before it's cryin' time Now they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder (fonder) And that tears are only rain to make love grow Well, my love for you could never grow no stronger (stronger) If I lived to be a hundred years old Oh, it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me I can see that far away look in your eyes I can tell by the way you hold me darlin', yeah now That it won't be long before it's cryin' time Now you say you've found someone that you love better (better) That's the way it's happened every time before And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow ('morrow) Cryin' time will start when you walk out the door Oh, it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me I can see that far away look in your eyes I can tell by the way you hold me darlin', alright now That it won't be long before it's cryin' time (That it won't be long before it's cryin' time)

Where does the good times go? Where does the river flow? Where does the north wind blow? Where does the good times go? Lips that used to burn with love Now are cold beneath my touch Still I love you oh so much Where does the good times go? Where does the good times go? Where does the river flow? Where does the north wind blow? Where does the good times go? Arms that used to hold me tight Eyes that shone with love so bright Now have changed like day to night Where does the good times go? Where does the good times go? Where does the river flow? Where does the north wind blow? Where does the good times go? Where does the good times go?
