I spent several days thinking of the ways I would say were through
But when I let you go I did not know that I still cared for you
But last Saturday night neath the barroom lights I saw you out with him
And in a matter of time I changed my mind I wanted you back again

Whod thought that Id be feeling sorry
Id have guessed that Id be doin well
Well I saw you and my peace of mind went to piece[D/F#]s
It goes to show with love you never can tell

Well I did not go to the rodeo but I heard you were there
Now the talk of the town is the love you found they say youre quite a pair
I thought wait and see youll be back with me its just a matter of time
But somethings changed they say youve got a different way of smiling since you were mine

Now its lonely nights and neon light everydays just the same
Since a churchroom crowd gathered round to hear you change your name
So I sit and drink and I something think about getting out of town
But I never go cause you know she just might come back around
