I haven't had a good night's sleep in weeks, now thanks to you. The ghost of broken promises you made, haunts every room. A hurtin' heart can't get no rest 'round here.
You think you're smart. You think you're smooth. You think that love can't get its hands on you. I'm living proof. . A man ain't that strong. You got no choice when the right one comes along.
She's twistin' the ring on her finger. She's watchin' the clock on the wall. She's hopin' when it finally hits him, he's wrong. He'll come to his senses an' give her a call.
When you're lyin' by her side. And your conscience just can't hide. A bitter taste flows from her skin. It's me again. . Restless nights you toss and turn.
I'm bouncin' off the wall like an ol' Jack Rabbitt. My heartbeats racin' outta control. Well I'm in to you like an old bad habit. Well I feel like a pris'ner just got paroled.
Today I drove through this ol' town. Took a real good look around. Saw a lot of things. That I'd never seen before. . An older couple holding hands. Young lovers picking out wedding bands.
If I could tell the truth, people just might see. Who I really am, not who I have to be. I get so damn tired of playing by the rules. Afraid of what I'd lose, if I could tell the truth.

I dug this hole I'm standing in. She made it clear she ain't coming back again. I'm dying here, it's dark and cold. Oh, I'm the only one to blame, I dug this hole.
Daddy had a chance to go. Take a factory jon in Ohio. The offered him a decent dime. To leave Kentucky far behind. . Well, I cussed him when he turned em down.
Well, the rumor is that you've been seen. Running like and old greyhound. Acting like you're over me. Out there painting the town. And it seems, no matter where I go.
My first mistake was thinking I knew where I stood. I thought I had a place here in your heart. If I can make your mind up, you know I would. But a girl can only chase a dream so far.
