Give me a bottle of your very best
'Cause I've got a problem I'm gonna drink off my chest.
I'm gonna spend the night getting down
'Cause that woman that I had wrapped around my finger
Just come unwound.

That woman that I had wrapped around my finger just come unwound.
She kicked me out of the house and tonight I'm whiskey bound.
Yeah I'm gonna be the drunkest fool in town
'Cause that woman that I had wrapped around my finger
Just come unwound.

Well she packed my bags and opened up the door.
And I got a feeling she didn't want me 'round no more.
She caught me in a lie when I was messin' around,
And that woman that I had wrapped around my finger
Just come unwound.

That woman that I had wrapped around my finger just come unwound.
She kicked me out of the house and tonight I'm whiskey bound.
Yeah I'm gonna be the drunkest fool in town
'Cause that woman that I had wrapped around my finger
Just come unwound.

And that woman that I had wrapped around my finger
Just come unwound.

- Dean Dillon, Frank Dycus

Well I'm out on a tear 'cause she's tearing me apart
If I look rough on the outside, you ought to see my heart.
And this look in my eyes shows beyond a doubt,
Since my woman left, I'm down and out.

Well, I'm down at the bar, out of my mind,
Tighter than an eight-day clock with no way to unwind,
That jukebox cries the blues like it knows what I'm about.
Since my woman left, I'm down and out.

Well I'm down to my last dollar, but I don't really care.
My friends have all got whiskey, and they don't mind if I share.
They know how it feels to have your heart torn inside out,
Since my woman left, I'm down and out.

Well, I'm down at the bar, out of my mind,
Tighter than an eight-day clock with no way to unwind,
That jukebox cries the blues like it knows what I'm about.
Since my woman left, I'm down and out.

Since my woman left, since my woman left,
Since my woman left, I'm down and out.

- Dean Dillon, Frank Dycus

Lately you've been showin' all the signs
Of a woman with someone else on her mind.
It's not your fault, it's the nights I've left you alone,
And if you're thinkin' you want a stranger, there's one coming home.

If you're thinkin' you want a stranger, I'll soon be there.
You're gonna see a change in me, this time I swear.
No more late nights, comin' in at daylight, and no more doin' you wrong.
If you're thinkin' you want a stranger, there's one coming home.

Bought you a silk gown and perfume today.
Picked up some roses and champagne on the way.
Oh I called to ask you to put some soft music on.
'Cause if you're thinkin' you want a stranger, there's one coming home.

If you're thinkin' you want a stranger, I'll soon be there.
You're gonna see a change in me, this time I swear.
No more late nights, comin' in at daylight, and no more doin' you wrong.
If you're thinkin' you want a stranger, there's one coming home.

If you're thinkin' you want a stranger, there's one coming home.

Nickels and dimes, memories and wine
She's on his mind once again
The same ol' stew, the same ol' fool
Played by the rules but didn't win
There's an old love in his heart that he can't lose
He tried forgettin' but he knows that it's no use

He's got a fool hearted memory
It won't let him see, that she walked out the door
He's got a fool hearted memory, he sits patiently
Here every night so it can fool him more

She was his girl, his only world
That string of pearls that slipped away
A thousand dimes, a thousand times
He doesn't mind what they say
He fills the jukebox, then plays the same ol' song
He fills his glass and then he turns her memory on

But it's a fool hearted memory
It won't let him see, that she walked out the door
He's got a fool hearted memory, he sits patiently
Here every night so it can fool him more

- Byron Hill, Alan R. Mevis

We said goodbye in Marina del Rey
I had a good time was the last thing
I heard her say as I walked away
And on this plane back to Tennessee
My mind comes across her memory
And yesterday in Marina del Rey

On a hidden beach under a golden sun
She spread a blanket that we laid down on
And loved the world away in Marina del Rey
And as we looked into each other's eyes
We found our body's lost in paradise
Like castaways in Marina del Rey

Like the ocean tides, high and lows
Love sometimes comes
And goes away in Marina del Rey
And as this plane is touching down
Tears touch my eyes for I have found
My heart has stayed in Marina del Rey

On a hidden beach under a golden sun
She spread a blanket that we laid down on
And loved the world away in Marina del Rey
And as we looked into each other's eyes
We found our body's lost in paradise
Like castaways in Marina del Rey
We said goodbye in Marina del Rey

Amarillo by morning, up from San Antone.
Everything that I've got is just what I've got on.
When that sun is high in that Texas sky
I'll be bucking it to county fair.
Amarillo by morning, Amarillo I'll be there.

They took my saddle in Houston, broke my leg in Santa Fe.
Lost my wife and a girlfriend somewhere along the way.
Well I'll be looking for eight when they pull that gate,
And I'm hoping that judge ain't blind.
Amarillo by morning, Amarillo's on my mind.

Amarillo by morning, up from San Antone.
Everything that I've got is just what I've got on.
I ain't got a dime, but what I got is mine.
I ain't rich, but Lord I'm free.
Amarillo by morning, Amarillo's where I'll be.
Amarillo by morning, Amarillo's where I'll be.

I'm finding out how hot an old flame can burn
You're a feeling I haven't forgot, the love I can't unlearn
You've become a memory I can't live without
You'll always be a fire I can't put out

I don't know how to handle the dream you left behind
It's like a lighted candle, burning up my mind
At least I'm happy knowing what love is all about
You'll always be a fire I can't put out

Embers to ashes, that's how it should be
You'd think by know my heart would know and it could set you free
The things I've tried, the tears I've cried and I guess there's no doubt
You'll always be a fire I can't put out

I don't know how to handle the dream you left behind
It's like a lighted candle, burning up my mind
At least I'm happy knowing what love is all about
You'll always be a fire I can't put out
You'll always be a fire I can't put out

Oh how you sparkle, and oh how you shine.
That flush on your cheeks is more than the wine.
And he must do something that I didn't do.
Whatever he's doing, it looks good on you.

You look so good in love.
You want him, that's easy to see.
You look so good in love.
And I wish you still wanted me.

He must have stolen some stars from the sky,
And gave them to you to wear in your eyes.
I had my chances, but I set you free.
And now I wonder why I couldn't see.

You look so good in love.
You want him, that's easy to see.
You look so good in love.
And I wish you still wanted me.

Darling I've wasted a lot of years not seeing the real you,
But tonight your beauty is shining through.
And I never took the time to let you know,
So before he takes you away please let me say.

You look so good in love.
You want him, that's easy to see.
You look so good in love.
And I wish you still wanted me.

You look so good in love.

- Glen Ballard, Rory Michael Bourke, Kerry Chater

Right or wrong, I'll always love you
Though you're gone I can't forget
Right or wrong, I'll keep on dreaming
Still I wake with that same old regret

All along I knew I'd lose you
Though I prayed that you'd be true
In your heart please just remember
Right or wrong, I'm still in love with you

Right or wrong, I'll always love you
Though you're gone I can't forget
Right or wrong, I'll keep on dreaming
Still I wake with that same old regret

All along I knew I'd lose you
Though I prayed that you'd be true, oh Lord
In your heart please just remember
Right or wrong, I'm still in love with you

Pardon me, you left your tears on the jukebox,
And I'm afraid they got mixed up with mine.
I don't mean to pry,
It's just that I noticed you going out of your mind.
Looks like we're two of a kind.

Let's fall to pieces together.
Why should we both fall apart?
Let's fall to pieces together
Right here in each other's arms.

Alone is much better together,
And the worst is still yet to come.
So let's share the rest of the tears
That are left from two hearts that just came undone.
Why should we go crazy alone?

Let's fall to pieces together
Right here in each other's arms.

Pardon me, you left your tears on the jukebox,
And I'm afraid they got mixed up with mine.

Let's fall to pieces together.
Why should we both fall apart?
Let's fall to pieces together
Right here in each other's arms.

Alone is much better together,
And the worst is still yet to come.
So let's share the rest of the tears
That are left from two hearts that just came undone.
Why should we go crazy alone?

Let's fall to pieces together
Right here in each other's arms.
