You Love The Ground I Walk On Lyrics - Harlan Howard

YOU LOVE THE GROUND I WALK ON 

(Harlan Howard - Don McHan) 

'67 Tree Publishing, BMI 

RECORDED BY WAYLON JENNINGS 

I work so hard to win myself a place in life 

And leave behind the slums and poverty 

Now I have wealth a fancy home a pretty wife 

She loves the ground I walk on but she don't love me 

You like the places that I take you don't you girl 

At last you're where you've always longed to be 

You're very much at home here in this kind of world 

You love the ground I walk on but you don't love me 

And I know just what would happen if there came a dawn 

That I was broken down and out I'd reach and you'd be gone 

Don't worry girl that kind of dawn will never come 

You'll always have the things you want from me 

But it's so sad to know that when we're all alone 

You love the ground I walk on but she don't love me 

You love the ground I walk on but she don't love me
