CAN YOU BE IN OHIO BY TOMORROW NIGHT
HANK YOU GOTTA GET UP ON THAT STAGE
YOU CANT LET ALL THOSE GOOD PEOPLE DOWN
NO IT JUST AINT RIGHT
TO BOOK A SHOW AND NOT SHOW UP TO PLAY

REPEAT CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL
WHEN HIS HANDS STARTED TREMBLIN AND HIS BODY TURNIN COLD
AND DEATH STARTED TUGGIN AT HIS SOUL
ID OF FOUND ONE OF HIS SONGS PLAYIN ON THAT A.M. RADIO
HELD HIM TIGHT AND BEGGED HIM NOT TO GO
ID OF HELD HIM TIGHT AND BEGGED HIM NOT TO GO

REPEAT CHORUS

HED OF LIVED TO PLAY MORE SONGS
OF I COULD OF KEPT HIM HANGIN ON
IF ID OF BEEN IN THE BACK
OF HANK’S CADILLAC

Old man looking at a photograph of a love thats long gone from his past
and his wife’s got a letter that she can’t read from a boy who never came back from the sea

All the secrets and lies we keep deep inside
Does it have to be wrong to make it feel right

Tell me why aint nobody satisfied
(instrumental)

See that man walking down the street yeah what are the odds he’s the one for me what if I pass him by and hes got the love
I need Yeah Yeah

Tell me why aint nobody satisfied

I want him but he don’t want me he wants somebody else that I can’t be and shes got a man that she wants to leave cause he
can’t seem to make her happy. See that man walking down the street yeah what are the odds he’s the one for me, What if I pass
him by and he’s got the love I need.

Its all repeated (the chorus has C instead of Am)

EVERYONE’S TALKIN ABOUT BEIN TIED DOWN
AND THEY’RE SO UNHAPPY
THEY SAY THIS MARRIED LIFE, IS JUST NOT FOR ME
THEY SAY THEY’D GIVE ANYTHING TO BE LIVIN WILD AND FREE
WELL I AM, YES I AM AND I DONT WANNA BE

THEY SAY THEIR HUSBAND’S DONT MOW THE LAWN
UNTIL HE’S ASKED
AND HE DOESNT EVER OFFER ANYMORE TO TAKE OUT THE TRASH
THEY SAY THEYD RATHER BE ALONE BUT IF THEY WERE THEYD SEE
CAUSE I AM, OH YES I AM AND I DON’T WANNA BE

CHORUS:
THEY SAY THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE
BUT IF I HAD SOMEONE TO LOVE THEN ID BE SATISFIED
I WOULD NEVER TAKE FOR GRANTED SOMETHIN SO HARD TO FIND
SOMEONE IN MY LIFE

SO IF YOU GOT A GOOD LOVE TONIGHT, PLEASE DONT LET HIM GO
UNLESS YOU ARE REALLY PREPARED TO LIVE LIFE ON YOUR OWN
CAUSE IT HURTS TO BE IN BED AT NIGHT
HOLDIN ON TO NOTHIN BUT A DREAM
CAUSE I AM, OH YES I AM AND I DONT WANNA BE

REPEAT CHORUS

IT HURTS TO BE IN BED AT NIGHT
HOLDIN ON TO NOTHIN BUT A DREAM
CAUSE I AM, OH YES I AM AND I DONT WANNA BE

[Verse 1]
I let your love in, I have the scar,
I felt the ra – zor …against my heart,
I thought[Gadd#11] we were …both in[Gadd#11] all the way,
But you caught it by the han – dle,
And I caught it by …the blade!

[Verse 2]
You said, “Good – bye, …it’s not the end,
And, if you need me, …I’m still your friend”
Well, that’s[Gadd#11] eas – y …for [Gadd#11] you to say,
‘Cause you caught it by the han – dle,
And I caught it by the blade!

[Verse 3]
That’s the risk you run when you love, when you love,
[D/C#] And you give it all you’ve ….got to give,

Knowing all a – long there’s a chance,
There’s a chance [D/C#] ….you’ll reach, and they won’t,
You’ll bleed, and they …don’t!

[Verse 4]
For you, it’s o – ver, ...for me, it’s not,
I kept try – ing, …and you just stopped,
Now I [Gadd#11] know how …you can[Gadd#11] sound so brave,
‘Cause you caught it by the handle, baby,
And I caught it by the blade!

[Verse 5]
That’s the risk you run when you love, when you love,
[D/C#] And you give it all you’ve ….got to give,

You’ll bleed, and they …don’t!

I thought[Gadd#11] we were …both in[Gadd#11] all the way,
But you caught it by the han – dle,
And I ...caught it by the blade, umm -umm,
You caught it by the handle, baby,
And I …caught it by ...the blade!

AND YOU CALLED ME FROM SANTA FE
AND SAID YOU NEEDED ONE MORE DAY
AND YOUD BE BACK TO [C/B]HOLD MY HAND
AH BUT YOU LET ME DOWN AGAIN

AND WINTER TURNED TO SPRING
AND YOU CALLED FROM TENNESSEE
AND YOU GOT THE BEST OF ME

YOU PROMISED ME YOU WOULDNT STAY
IN MEMPHIS MORE THAN ONE DAY
AND YOUD BE BACK TO HOLD MY HAND
AH BUT YOU LET ME DOWN AGAIN

AND YOU CALLED FROM THE COAST
SAYIN YOU WERE LOST
AND IT WAS ME YOU MISSED THE MOST

YOU PROMISED ME YOU WOULDNT STAY
IN MOBILE MORE THAN ONE DAY
AND YOUD BE BACK TO HOLD MY HAND
AND YOU CALLED ME FROM SANTA FE
AND SAID YOU NEEDED ONE MORE DAY
AND YOUD BE BACK HOME AGAIN
YOU PROMISED ME YOU WOULDNT STAY
IN DENVER MORE THAN ONE DAY
AND YOUD BE BACK TO HOLD MY HAND
AND YOU CALLED ME FROM SANTA FE
AND SAID YOU NEEDED ONE MORE DAY
AND YOUD BE BACK HOME AGAIN
AH BUT YOU LET ME DOWN AGAIN

[Verse 1]

The weight of the load
Brings everybody down
The rocks that they’ve thrown
Are killing me now

When fear and doubts
Are calling you out
Well, I’ll help you out
With the weight of the load

[Verse 2]

The hardest of hearts
Still can change
Alone in the dark
Broken and stained

When fear and doubts
Are calling you out
Well, I’ll help you out
With the weight of the load

When you’re at the end of your road
Thinking about giving up hope
True love’s gonna find you
This much I know
With the weight of the load

[Verse 3]

The weight of the load
Brings everybody down
The rocks that they’ve thrown
They’re killing you now

When fear and doubts
Start calling you out
Well, I’ll help you out
I’ll help you out
With the weight of the load
The weight of the load
The weight of the load
The weight of the load
I’ll help you out
With the weight of the load
I’ll help you out
