Tear drops fell on mama’s note
When I read the things she wrote
She said, we miss you girl
We love you come on home
Well I didn’t have to pack
I had it all right on my back
Now I’m five hundred miles away from home
Chorus:
Away from home, away from home
Cold and tired and all alone
Yes, I’m five hundred miles away from home
It’s hard to tell the state I’m in
Where I’m going, where I’ve been
But there’s a dream I’ve been following so long
If mama knew the things I’ve done
She’d forgive them everyone
But I’m still five hundred miles away from home
Repeat chorus
Can’t remember when I ate it’s just thumb and walk and wait
And I’m still five hundred miles away from home
If my luck had been just right I’d be with them all tonight
But I’m still five hundred miles away from home
Repeat chorus
Lord, I’m still five hundred miles away from home

Times are tough on an honest heart
People don't follow through with what they start
Pryin' eyes looking at me up and down
Makin' talk that's only cheap
Makin' promises they never keep
But I keep lookin' for what I still haven't found
One honest heart
That I can believe in
Two lovin' arms that will never let me go
One good man that I can count on
It shouldn't be so hard
Finding one honest heart
Now I've been close a time or two
I thought I saw my dream comin' true
But I was just livin' in a fairy tale
I won't play the fool again [echo]
I won't play a game that I can't win
But I still have faith and I keep tellin' myself
There's one honest heart
That I can believe in
Two lovin' arms that will never let me go
One good man that I can count on
It shouldn't be so hard
Finding one honest heart
I don't think I'm asking too much
Just once in my life, I wanna be touched by...
One honest heart
That I can believe in
Two lovin' arms that will never let me go
One good man that I can count on
It shouldn't be so hard [echo]
It shouldn't be so hard
Finding one honest heart
One good man
One honest heart
One good man
One honest heart [echo]

I remember the first time I held you all night long.
Well we're still here now.
But where have all the years gone?
Holding yu this way tonight.
It's easy to see why.
CHORUS
All this time.
We held on to each other.
We knew we had to be strong.
All this time.
Through the tears and the laughter.
It's still forever after all this time.
In the fast movin' world.
Love is made and just thrown away.
But we've always kept the promises that we made.
Who would of thought you and me?
Would still be here where we said we would be.
Repeat CHORUS Twice
. . .

My world revolved around you
Every word was a promise I was hanging on
Swept up inside a whirlwind
I just couldn't see the end
'Till you were gone
Oh, I thought I would fall apart
With shattered dreams and a broken heart
Scrambling in the dark
How was I to know
That I'd be okay
Thought I'd lose it all when you walked away
How was I to know
I would be this strong
I had what it takes all along
How was I to know
What I was so afraid of
Turned out to be my freedom in disguise
Now I know what I'm made of
Guess it just took some time to realize
Oh, I was blind, I couldn't tell
Put too much faith in someone else
I gave up on myself
[Repeat Chorus]

The sound of your voice, the touch of your skin
If we go there, it will start all over again
So don't even call, there's no need for checking in
If it's really over, let it just be over
No, we won't be sharing coffee
Or having lunch from time to time
I won't ask about your family
Please don't ask me about mine
This is never what I wanted
And it's killing me to say
It just has to be this way
We gave all we could, we fought the good fight
But no matter how we loved, we just couldn't get it right
It hurts to let go, but it's harder hangin' on
I don't want it to be over, we know that it's over
No, we won't be sharing coffe
Or having lunch from time to time
I won't ask about your family
Please don't ask me about mine
This is never what I wanted
And it's killing me to say
It just has to be this way
And even if I change my mind
Don't let me hurt me one more time
Stay away from me, be as cold as you can be
No, we won't be sharing coffe
Or having lunch from time to time
I won't ask about your family
Please don't ask me about mine
This is never what I wanted
And it's killing me to say
It just has to be this way
Oh, it just has to be this way
. . .

I fed the children
And I kissed them goodnight
You fed the jukebox
Till they turn out the lights
I bought the bacon
While you bought the booze
I've sacrificed more than you'll ever lose
Needing new clothes with the money you spent
On barbills and motels and women you met
But I stood the heartache that you put me through
I've sacrificed more than you'll ever lose
I gave up so much
And now I'm giving up you
It's too late to make up for
The love that you used
I've had enough
I don't want you around
Don't look at me
Like I let you down
You say I'm to blame
But who's fooling who
I've sacrificed more than you'll ever lose
Yeah I sacrificed more than you'll ever lose
. . .

Sweet dreams of you
Every night I go through
Why can't I forget the past
And start loving someone new
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
You don't love me it's plain
I should have known I'ld never wear your ring
Oh I should hate you the whole night through
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
Oh instead of having sweet dreams about you
. . .

White light shadows gather around my door
They find me dreaming all alone once more
Memories come around to haunt my sleepless sounds
Now's the time I must be strong
I believe it won't be long
Chorus:
Till love comes again
To end these lonely nights
Till love comes again
To drive these tears I cry
It's darkest just before the dawn
And I'll just keep holding on
Till then
Till love comes again
Somewhere someone feels the way I do
And like me they dream of the love that's true
One day I'll look into his eyes I know the moment's right
Until then I'll just wait
No matter how long it might take
Repeat Chorus
Oh until then
Till love comes again
. . .

Why Can't He Be You
(Hank Cochran)
He takes me to the places you and I use to go
He tells me over and over that he loves me so
He gives me love that I never got from you
He loves me too
His love is true
But why can't he be you
He never fails to call and tell me I'm on his mind
And I'm lucky to have such a guy I hear it all the time
And he does all the things that you would never do
He loves me too
His love is true
But why can't he be you
Oh he's not the one who dominates my mind and my soul
And I should love him so cuz he loves me I know
But his kisses leave me cold
He sends me flowers
Calls on the hour
Just to prove his love
And my friends say that when he's around
I'm all he speaks of
And he does all the things that you would never do
He loves me too
His love is true
But why can't he be you
. . .

If I had only known
It was our last walk in the rain
I'd keep you out for hours in the storm
I would hold your hand
Like a lifeline to my heart
Underneath the thunder we'd be warm
If I had only known
It was our last walk in the rain
If I had only known
I'd never hear your voice again
I'd memorize each thing you ever said
And on those lonely nights
I could think of them once more
And keep your words alive inside my head
If I had only known
I'd never hear your voice again
You were the treasure in my hand
You were the one who always stood beside me
So unaware I foolishly believed
That you would always be there
And then there came a day when I
Turned my head, and you slipped away.
If I had only known
It was my last night by your side
I pray a miracle to stop the dawn
And when you smiled at me
I would look into your eyes
And my sure you know my love for you
Goes on and on...
If I had only known.
If I had only known.
The love I would have shown,
If I had only known.
. . .

A penny for my thoughts you say
You want to know what I could be thinking
But as I speak the music starts to play
And the words just somehow slip away
Chorus:
Read my mind
It will tell you that I love you and
You're all I ever wanted in a man
You'd see how I feel
What my head won't let my heart reveal
If only you could read my mind
One look from you and look at me
I'm trembling like a little girl
I tell myself if I can just believe
Any day now you'll fall in love with me
Repeat Chorus
Tell me if you feel the same way I do
And tell me that I'm not mistakenly taken with you
You're all I ever wanted in a man
You see, all I need is everything you are to me
If you could somehow read my mind
You would see what I can't seem to say
If only you could, if you would read my mind
Read my mind
