I shouldn't do this was the last thing I heard me say
When I bought her champagne and hid my wedding ring
One drink led to another and another to a kiss
And I told myself I shouldn't do this

I shouldn't do this was the last thing I heard me say
When I gave her a ride 'cause she'd had too much to drink
She gave herself so freely
I could not resist
And I told myself I shouldn't do this

How I wish that I had listened to that little voice inside
Say you're gonna lose your woman, man have you lost your mind
And that hold got a little deeper as the lies fell off my lips
And I told myself I shouldn't do this

I shouldn't do this was the last thing I heard me say
When I rolled through the front door coming home way too late
Well I stumbled through excuses but the truth is hard to twist
And I told myself I shouldn't do this

How I wish that I had listened to that little voice inside
Say you're gonna lose your woman, man have you lost your mind
And that hold got a little deeper as the lies fell off my lips
And I told myself I shouldn't do this

I shouldn't do this was the last thing I heard me say

My buddies say don't do it
There's no way I can win
They've seen you put me through it
Time and time again

Does it make you happy, baby
To make me so sad?
How can a woman look so good
Make a man feel so bad

I just keep on comin' back for more
It's so wrong, I know what I'm in for
Every time I say I'm walkin' away
I crawl back to your door
Comin' back for more

Don't you know you hurt me?
The way you do your dance
When you start to work me
I don't stand a chance

'Cause you got all the power, babe
You like to throw it around
You turn me every which way but loose
And then you turn me down

And I keep on comin' back for more
It's so wrong, I know what I'm in for
Every time I say I'm walkin' away
I crawl back to your door
Comin' back for more

Every time I say I'm walkin' away
I crawl back to your door
Comin' back, comin' back for more
Oh baby, comin' back for more
I keep comin' back for more

Keep on comin' back for more
Keep on comin' back for more
Keep on comin' back for more
Keep on comin' back for more

They say the only cure for losing a woman
Is another woman
But I'm not so sure that's true
Anyone could look in these eyes and know

Got a long way to go
Before I am over you
The only thing that's gonna help
Is a little time to myself

I just need to be lonely for awhile
Take the time to dig down deep
And find an honest smile

I don't want to try to pretend
I'm ready to love again
I just need to be lonely for awhile
I just need to be lonely for awhile

Friends keep settin' me up with friends
But another friend
Ain't what I need right now
I need to start looking back inside

Try to find the pride
I lost when you walked out
I gotta learn to love myself
Before I can love anyone else

I just need to be lonely for awhile
Take the time to dig down deep
And find an honest smile

I don't want to try to pretend
I'm ready to love again
I just need to be lonely for awhile
I just need to be lonely for awhile

I just need a little time to cry
And find a way to say goodbye
I just need to be lonely for awhile
I just need to be lonely for awhile
I just need to be lonely for awhile

Lonely for awhile

I could hear 'em talking as I was laying in that hole
With a mountain of trouble weighing on my soul
They all stood around kicking dirt on my grave
It's a miracle I'm standing here today

I'm walking among the living again
I'm talking and breathing for giving up my sins
I'm finding new faith in the arms of old friends
Now I'm walking among the living again

Now the morning sun is warmer on my skin
I'm hearing nature's song, smelling flowers again
This world is so much brighter than I've ever known
And I swear I heard angels when I rolled away the stone

Now I'm walking among the living again
I'm talking and breathing for giving up my sins
I'm finding new faith in the arms of old friends
Now I'm walking among the living again

I'm walking among the living again
I'm talking and breathing for giving up my sins
I'm finding new faith in the arms of old friends
Now I'm walking among the living again

Living again

Just another lazy southern Sunday
The time is hanging in the air
There's a hoot owl softly calling
Off in the distance somewhere

There's nothing left for me to go back home to
There's nothing left to do but drive around
And there's nothing left to say that'll make it be okay
There ain't no comfort in the south

So let the willow weep a little harder
Let the dirt roads all lead out of town
That old Magnolia wind done let me down
Sweet Dixie cannot fix me now
There ain't no southern comfort anyhow

Yeah, the honeysuckles growing the fence line
And Georgia sun keeps pouring down
And that shade beneath the pines was made to ease my mind
But there ain't no comfort in the south

So let the willow weep a little harder
And let the dirt roads all lead out of town
That old magnolia wind done let me down
Sweet Dixie cannot fix me now
There ain't no southern comfort anyhow

Yeah, that old magnolia wind let me down
Sweet Dixie cannot fix me now
There ain't no southern comfort anyhow
No, there ain't no southern comfort anyhow

Some folks moan when things go wrong
But hey not me
Me I'll be on the sunny side that's the place to be
In my life
Cause it's my life, even if it's out of control

There ain't no stoppin' my do-woppin' all night long
By request I'm at my best when the pressure's on
In my life
Cause it's my life, even if it's out of control

Every dark cloud has a silver lining
Every little tear leaves a sparkle in my eye
And someday soon in a rubber room
I'll finally figure out how to get it right

My opinion may not count but that's all I got
The world keeps spinning round and round
No matter what
In my life
Cause it's my life, even if it's out of control

Where did all my friends go
What happened to my scene
Feels like the Memphis Mafia
Up and left the king

And I've been swimming for redemption
But I'm drowning in bureaucracy
And I can't find exemption
From all the mediocrity

And the whiskey and women in this town are killing me
If I don't put new boots on I won't ever get on my feet
I've been running with the devil and there's gonna be hell to pay
If I don't get to Austin I swear I'm gonna fade away
I swear I'm gonna fade away

I don't mean to bitch and judge
But baby I gotta go
Where they still play Merle Haggard
And the girls love to rock and roll
And I've been looking for perspective
Between the highway signs
But all roads lead to Texas
Ya'll look me up some time

And the whiskey and women in this town are killing me
If I don't put new boots on I won't ever get on my feet
I've been running with the devil and there's gonna be hell to pay
If I don't get to Austin I swear I'm gonna fade away
I swear I'm gonna fade away
