You were my wife, my life, my hopes and dreams For you to understand what this means, I shall explain I stood all the jealousy, all the bitchin' too Yes, I'd forget it all once in bed with you Ooo darling how could we end up like this? Oh baby let me reminisce Oh and when we, woo, we stopped the hands of time You set my soul on fire, my one desire Was to love you and think of you with pride And keep you satisfied, oh baby oh baby We could not bear the mental strain Leave you? I never meant to Now you see how much you hurt me But if you ever need me, I'll be by your side Though the many happy times we had Can never really outweigh the bad Oh I'll never love nobody like I loved you baby Now it's time for us to say farewell, farewell my darlin' Maybe we'll meet down the line It's too late for you and me, it's too late for you and I Much too late for you to cry It's too late for you and me, much too late for you and I It's too late for you and me, much too late for you to cry baby Ah we tried, God knows we tried Now it's too late to live and love and ah it's too late baby It's too late for you and me, much too late for you to cry Oh oh ohhh it's much too late Well, all we can do is, we can both try to be happy

Gee, but it's great to be back home Home is where I wanna be I've been on the road so long, my friend And if you came along, I know you couldn't disagree It's the same old story, yeah Everywhere I go, I get slandered, libeled I hear words I never heard in the Bible And I'm one step ahead of the shoe shine Two steps away from the county line I'm just trying to keep my customer satisfied, satisfied Deputy sheriff said to me "Tell me, what you come here for, boy You better get your bags and flee You're in trouble, boy, and now you're heading into more" It's the same old story Everywhere I go, I get slandered, libeled I hear words I never heard in the Bible And I'm one step ahead of the shoe shine Two steps away from the county line Just trying to keep my customer satisfied, satisfied But it's the same old story Everywhere I go I get slandered, libeled I hear words I've never heard in the Bible And I'm so tired I'm oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, so tired But I'mtrying to keep my customer satisfied, satisfied Alright

Just to be with you Just to be with you There is nothing I wouldn't do Just to be with you. I'd climb a mountain or sail the seas I'd go a thousand miles upon my knees I'd find a rainbow and take it from the sky I'll be a slave till the day I die. I'll build a castle like those of old And I would fill it with lots of gold I'd find the writings of what's supposed to be I'll count the stars in the galaxy.
