I WENT DOWN TO THE RIVER TO WASH MY SINS AWAY
AND THAT PREACHER, HE TOOK ONE LOOK AT ME AND HE TURNED ME AWAY
I DON’T KNOW WHERE YOU’RE GOIN’ BUT I SURE KNOW WHERE YOU BEEN
AND AIN’T ENOUGH DIRTY WATER IN THE WHOLE DAMN WORLD TO WAS AWAY YOUR SINS
I WENT ON DOWN TO THE CITY TO FIND A WAY TO PAY
AND THAT UNION MAN, HE LOOKED ME UP AND DOWN AND HE TURNED ME AWAY
I DON’T CARE WHERE YOU’RE GOIN’ BUT I SURE KNOW WHERE YOU BEEN
AND I’LLBE DAMNED IF I GIVE YOU A JOB. I BETTER NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN.
IT’S TRUE I SEEN SOME HARD TIMES AND I’VE KNOWN BAD COMPANY
BUT WHAT I DO WITH MY OWN DAMN LIFE, THAT’S BETWEEN MY MAKER AND ME
I MIGHT GO OUT TO CALIFORNIA. I MIGHT GO DOWN TO MEXICO.
I MIGHT GO DOWN TO HELL, SHAKE HANDS WITH THE DEVIL
AND MAKE MYSELF RIGHT AT HOME
I LOOKED UP TO THE HEAVENS AND I RAISED MY HANDS-ON HIGH
AND I SAID SWEET JESUS IF YOU’RE LOOKIN’ AT ME, WON’T YOU PLEASE GIVE ME A SIGN
AND THAT’S WHEN THE CLOUDS THEY PARTED, AND THE SUNSHINE HIT MY FACE
AND I KNEW THEN AND THERE THAT NO MATTER WHAT I DID, I’D ALWAYS FIND SOME GRACE
IT’S TRUE I SEEN SOME HARD TIMES AND I’VE KNOWN BAD COMPANY
BUT WHAT I DO WITH MY OWN DAMN LIFE, THAT’S BETWEEN MY MAKER AND ME
I MIGHT GO OUT TO CALIFORNIA. I MIGHT GO DOWN TO MEXICO.
I MIGHT GO DOWN TO HELL, SHAKE HANDS WITH THE DEVIL
AND MAKE MYSELF RIGHT AT HOME

YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU BABY. YOU’RE THE ONLY GIRL FOR ME
BUT LATELY WHEN I HOLD YOU, I GET THE SINKIN’ FEELING
THERE’S SOMEPLACE ELSE YOU’D RATHER BE
YOU NEVER LOOK ME IN THE EYE WHEN YOU TELL ME GOODBYE
YOU ALWAYS RUNNIN’ OUT WITH YOUR FRIENDS
AND WHEN YOU COME BACK HOME WE DO THE WHOLE DANCE OVER AGAIN
WHAT’S THIS I BEEN HEARIN’ BABY? WORD’S BEEN GOIN’ AROUND
PEOPLE BEEN TALKIN’ ‘BOUT ME EVERY WHICH WAY
SAYIN’ YOU GOT PLANS FOR PUTTIN’ ME DOWN
YOU KNOW I’M WORKIN’ DAY AND NIGHT, TRYIN’ TO DO WHAT’S RIGHT
BRINGIN’ ALL MY LOVE AND MONEY TO YOU.
NOW WON’T SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT A BROKEN-HEARTED MAN SHOULD DO
BABY JUST MAKE UP YOUR MIND
AM I YOUR ONLY LOVER, AM I WASTIN’ TIME
LOVIN’ YOU COULD BE SO FINE
IF YOU’D JUST MAKE UP YOUR MIND
YOU KNOW THAT I BEEN THINKIN’ BABY, MAYBE I SHOULD PACK UP AND LEAVE
TIRED OF STAYIN’ ALL ALONE AND SITTIN’ AT HOME
WHILE YOU RUN AROUND AND DO AS YOU PLEASE
YOU CAN KEEP THAT DIAMOND RING. ALL THEM SHINY THINGS
THEY NEVER MEANT A DAMN TO ME
THEN MAYBE ONE DAY YOU’LL SEE HOW LONELY BEIN’ LONELY CAN BE
BABY JUST MAKE UP YOUR MIND
AM I YOUR ONLY LOVER, AM I WASTIN’ TIME
LOVIN’ YOU COULD BE SO FINE
IF YOU’D JUST MAKE UP YOUR MIND

I KNOW YOU’RE TIRED AND I KNOW YOU’RE WEARY
‘CAUSE SOME OTHER LOVES THEY LET YOU DOWN
BUT WHEN YOU’RE READY FOR ME TO LOVE YOU
I PROMISE, I’LL BE AROUND
FOR SO MANY YEARS I WAITED IN VAIN
WATCHED YOU SUFFER THE HEARTACHE AND SUFFER THE PAIN
AS YEAR BY YEAR AND DAY AFTER DAY
YOU’D GIVE ‘EM YOUR LOVE JUST TO WATCH ‘EM WALK AWAY
NOW WE BEEN FRIENDS SINCE WE WERE KIDS
NOW I FIND IT TOO HARD TO KEEP THESE FEELINGS HID
I GOTTA TELL YOU I KNOW
I KNOW YOU’RE TIRED AND I KNOW YOU’RE WEARY
‘CAUSE SOME OTHER LOVES THEY LET YOU DOWN
BUT WHEN YOU’RE READY FOR ME TO LOVE YOU
I PROMISE, I’LL BE AROUND
I CAN’T HOLD OUT ANY LONGER
WHEN THIS FEELIN’ GETS STRONGER AND STRONGER
JUST PUT YOUR HAND IN MINE
AND STOP WASTIN’ PRECIOUS TIME
I KNOW YOU’RE TIRED AND I KNOW YOU’RE WEARY
‘CAUSE SOME OTHER LOVES THEY LET YOU DOWN
BUT WHEN YOU’RE READY FOR ME TO LOVE YOU
I PROMISE, I’LL BE AROUND
I KNOW YOU’RE TIRED AND I KNOW YOU’RE WEARY
‘CAUSE SOME OTHER LOVES THEY LET YOU DOWN
BUT WHEN YOU’RE READY FOR ME TO LOVE YOU
I PROMISE, I’LL BE AROUND
I’M GONNA, I’M GONNA, EVERY-ONE MORE
I KNOW YOU’RE TIRED AND I KNOW YOU’RE WEARY
‘CAUSE SOME OTHER LOVES THEY LET YOU DOWN
BUT WHEN YOU’RE READY FOR ME TO LOVE YOU

I THOUGHT IT’D BE BETTER IF I WASN’T AROUND
STRIKE UP A MATCH AND BURN THIS LOVE TO THE GROUND
PACK UP MY BAGS AND SET OUT FOR NEW ORLEANS
GOT TURNED AROUND IN HOUSTON WOUND UP IN ABILENE
SEE, A RING ON MY FINGER IS LIKE A ROPE AROUND MY NECK
SOME GOOD GIRLS THEY TRIED BUT I AIN’T SETTLED DOWN YET
ALL I CAN DO IS HOPE THAT ONE DAY YOU’LL SEE
FOR THE FIRST TIME SOMEONE MEANS IT AIN’T YOU BABE IT’S ME
BUT I’LL COME BACK ONE DAY WITH MY HAT IN MY HAND
HOPIN’ YOU’LL FORGIVE ME AND YOU’LL UNDERSTAND
SOME HEARTS THEY BREAK AND SOMETIMES THEY BEND
BUT I’M HOPIN’ LIKE HELL I’LL SEE YOU AGAIN
HARD LUCK AND HARD TIMES GOT ME THROWN INTO JAIL
DROPPED TO MY KNEES AND ASKED JESUS FOR BAIL
JESUS SAID SON I BEEN HEARIN’ YOUR PRAYERS
AND IT’S HIGH TIME YOU TOLD ‘EM TO SOMEONE WHO CARES
SO, I’VE COME BACK TO YOU WITH MY HAT IN MY HAND
HOPIN’ YOU’LL FORGIVE ME AND YOU’LL UNDERSTAND
SOME HEARTS THEY BREAK AND OTHERS THEY MEND
BUT I’M HOPIN’ LIKE HELL YOU’LL LOVE ME AGAIN
HOPIN’ LIKE HELL YOU’LL LOVE ME AGAIN
HOPIN’ LIKE HELL

SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE DOUBLE WIDE
I WAS GETTING’ DRUNK AND SHE WAS GETTING’ HIGH
SOMEBODY SAID IT WAS A HELL OF A DRUG
NEVER REALLY CARES ‘CAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS LOVE
UP THE NEXT MORNIN’ WELL BEFORE DAWN
I TURNED AROUND TO FIND SHE WAS GONE
THAT’S ABOUT THE TIME THAT I FIGURED OUT
WHAT A ONE NIGHT STAND WAS REALLY ALL ABOUT
SO, I GOT MYSELF TOGETHER AND I HEADED OUT WEST
RAN INTO SOME TROUBLE IN A LITTLE BLACK DRESS
SAT NEXT TO ME AT THE END OF THE BAR
TWENTY MINUTES LATER WE WAS IN MY CAR
SWEATIN’ AND A GRUNTIN’ AND ROLLIN’ AROUND
SOON AS WE WERE DONE HER FEET HIT THE GROUND
I KINDA LIKE YOU BABY. CAN I GIVE YOU A CALL?
SHE SAID SURE THING SUGAR. MY NUMBER’S ON THE BATHROOM WALL
SOME GIRLS YOU MARRY. OTHER GIRLS YOU DON’T
THEN THERE ARE THE GIRLS THAT DO THE THINGS THAT OTHERS WON’T
IN A BIND AND YOU’RE TRYIN’ TO FIND THAT REAL GOOD TIME
JUST LOOK ON THE WALL OF THE BATHROOM STALL
AND YOU GET HER ON THE LINE
WELL IT WAS LATE ONE NIGHT AND I WAS SITTIN’ AT HOME
I HEARD THE SCREECHIN’ AND A HOLLERIN’ OF MY TELEPHONE
SEXY LITTLE VOICE SAID I LIKE THE WAY YOU SING
I WAS SITTIN’ HERE THINKIN’ I SHOULD GIVE YOU A RING
HEY LITTLE BABY YOU SURE SOUND SWEET
I THINK I KNOW A PLACE WHERE WE CAN MEET
BUT I GOTTA KNOW HOW YOU KNEW THE NUMBER TO CALL
SHE SAID DON’T YOU KNOW JOHNNY, YOUR NUMBER’S ON THE LADIES ROOM WALL
SOME GIRLS YOU MARRY. OTHER GIRLS YOU DON’T
THEN THERE ARE THE GIRLS THAT DO THE THINGS THAT OTHERS WON’T
IN A BIND AND YOU’RE TRYIN’ TO FIND THAT REAL GOOD TIME
JUST LOOK ON THE WALL OF THE BATHROOM STALL
AND YOU GET HER ON THE LINE

OH, JOSEPHINE PLEASE DON’T GO AWAY
IF YOU COME BACK BABY, I’LL TREAT YOU RIGHT EVERY DAY
WELL, I MET JOSEPHINE AT A HONKY TONK BAR
AND I TOOK HER FOR A RIDE IN MY CADILLAC CAR
GAVE HER THAT ROUTINE ABOUT RUNNIN’ OUTTA GAS
THEN JOSEPHINE SHE WROTE ME UP FOR MOVIN’ TOO FAST
OH, JOSEPHINE PLEASE DON’T GO AWAY
IF YOU COME BACK BABY, I’LL TREAT YOU RIGHT EVERY DAY
WELL I ASKED JOSEPHINE FOR ONE MORE CHANCE
AND I PICKED HER UP FOR DINNER AND A DANCE
EVERYTHING WAS FINE ‘TIL ANOTHER GIRL CUT IN
THEN JOSEPHINE SHE DIPPED ME WHEN I GAVE THAT GIRL A SPIN
OH, JOSEPHINE PLEASE DON’T GO AWAY
IF YOU COME BACK BABY, I’LL TREAT YOU RIGHT EVERY DAY
OH, JOSEPHINE JOSEPHINE
OH, JOSEPHINE JOSEPHINE
OH, JOSEPHINE JOSEPHINE
OH, JOSEPHINE JOSEPHINE
