He could never be you
He could never be you
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/r/rosanne_cash/never_be_you_crd.html )
I guess it all comes around, baby, please don’t cry
Love is gonna be a little reckless, oh, lovers all have to stand trial
Since you let me go there’s nothing going on
I don’t know what I’m gonna do

He could never be you
He could never be you
He could never be you

He knows the rules and he plays the part
But he only has me, he don’t have my heart

He could never be you

So take a look at my eyes, no you can’t hide the truth
No you don’t get by on pride it’ll run over you
Since you let me down I’m hard to be around
I don’t know what I’m gonna do

He could never be you…

The old man’s crying tonight
Cause it all happened so fast
He’s frightened by the future, embarrassed by the past
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/r/rosanne_cash/my_old_man_crd.html )
Chorus:
So let him be who he wants to be
Cause he ain’t ever gonna be young again
And let him see who he needs to see
Cause he never had too many friends
And ask him how he remembers me
Cause I want to know where I stand
How I love my old man

The old man’s restless tonight
Just trying to kill his pain
He believes what he says he believes but that don’t make him a saint

The old man’s lonesome tonight
And he just wants to go home
All those fools who stand in his way why can’t they leave him alone

Chorus

You tell me I got out of line and I did
You think I’ll never survive but I’ll live
Let’s break up that bound together
I’ll use all my drastic measures
And leave while I still feel clever
So you can’t hurt me anymore
It ain’t ever gonna hurt anymore

Well I think you’ve lost your youth
And you think I play too loose
But I’ll tell you what the truth is
You can’t hurt me anymore
So let go of old emotions
Get someone’s new devotion
You think I’m only jokin’
But you can’t hurt me anymore
It ain’t never gonna hurt anymore

I hear your name in slow conversation
I see your face in the crowd
My heart desires so many things
That my pride just can’t allow

Chorus:
I’d close down this heart tomorrow, leave without a fight
Say goodbye to your sweet memory
If I can lie in your arms tonight
If I can lie in your arms tonight

Was I the fool to think you would see me
When all I wanted was you
Then I saw your eyes go through those changes
And wondered how you knew

I hear your name in slow conversation
I close my eyes and knew
I’d never find a way to deceive you
I just can’t let you go

Chorus

I was a fool to say it was over
