Hey man i'm glad you asked
'cause i know more about that than i want to
And i'll share it with you
If you don't work things out
And save your love somehow
You'll know it then
What it's like at the bitter end

First comes the downpour, an emotional uproar
Brought on by "don't love you anymore"
Followed by a slammin' door
Then ol' lonely moves in
And the hurt begins
That's what it's like my friend
If you let it come to a bitter end

If time were on my side
Then it would let me fly back to the night
Of our last fight
And i could hold my tongue
And hold on to the one i should've never let go
Then i wouldn't have to know everything about

The downpour, that emotional uproar
Brought on by "don't love you anymore"
Followed by a slammin' door
Then ol' lonely moves in
And the hurt begins
And that's what it's like my friend
If you let it come to a bitter end

First comes the downpour, an emotional uproar
Brought on by "don't love you anymore"
Followed by a slammin' door
Then ol' lonely moves in
And the hurt begins
That's what it's like my friend
If you let it come to a bitter end

Hey man i'm glad you asked
'cause i know more about that than i want to

Well i can't forget the day we met how i could clearly see
With picture perfect vision, she was the only one for me
My perception of a heavenly love was right there in my sight
I never saw the true writin' on the wall 'cause she was standin' in my light

Bought her a diamond ring, nearly everything this workin' man could not afford
A chevy, a house and the credit cards to her favorite department stores
Loved her all i could, i can't believe she would, run off with some ol' used to be
Guess ya never know what the future holds, 'cause for her it wasn't me

And they say lookin' back is a lesson and that's why i won't forget her
Through the smoke and haze of bein' burned i can see things a whole lot better
Lord i was blind, but now i find since she did me down and dirty
Hindsight's not twenty-twenty, it's more like a 30-30

Now i'm pickin' up the pieces of this shattered broken heart of mine
Been searchin' for the lovin' parts but the hurtin' ones are all i find
When she took her aim she wasn't playin' no games
Lord, she dropped me right to my knees
She untied our knot with a perfect shot and put me into my misery

And they say lookin' back is a lesson and that's why i won't forget her
Through the smoke and haze of bein' burned i can see things a whole lot better
Lord i was blind, but now i find since she did me low-down and dirty
Hindsight's not twenty-twenty, it's more like a 30-30
Lord, hindsight's not twenty-twenty, it's more like a 30-30

Well hello there, when did you get back in town
Pull up a chair, tell me why you look so down
I'll order us some coffee
We can talk about old times
When the world still turn our way
And you were mine

Those years with you were the best i ever had
Just seeing you brought those precious memories back
And we had some good times and we had some bad
But the worst times with you were still the best i ever had

Guess we should say good-bye it's time to go
Didn't mean to make you cry i just wanted you to know

Those years with you were the best i ever had
Just seeing you brought those precious memories back
And we had some good times and we had some bad
But the worst times with you were still the best i ever had
Yeah the worst times with you were still the best i ever had

Well i changed my ways to please that woman
But i could never be good enough
Yeah, i gave up drinkin' and took up churchin'
And for awhile it wasn't tough
But barkeep i've made a decision after doing the best i could
That for better or worse, i'm gonna be bad for good

So bring on the whiskey
Turn up the jukebox loud
These boots were made for tonkin'
Warn every woman around
I'm gonna wind it up tonight
A little tighter than i should
Yeah for better or worse, i'm gonna be bad for good

I really like my reputation
And how i'm known all over town
Of being the first in my generation
To close every single honky tonk down
I'm gonna be a tough act to follow
Doin' what i said i would
Yeah for better or worse, i'm gonna be bad for good

So bring on the whiskey
Turn up the jukebox loud
These boots were made for tonkin'
Warn every woman around
I'm gonna wind it up tonight
A little tighter than i should
Yeah for better or worse, i'm gonna be bad for good
Oh somebody be bad

I'm gonna wind it up tonight
A little tighter that i should
Yeah for better or worse, i'm gonna be bad for good
Yeah for better or worse, i'm gonna be bad for good

It's only 'cause you're lonely, that you're wanting me
I'm just a way to get you through your misery
You don't need my love, i know you'll let me down
It's only 'cause you're lonely that you're comin' 'round

Girl, you're telling me
That he set you free
But that's nothing new
To a heart that's never true
What makes you think you can come running back so easily

It's only 'cause you're lonely, that you're wanting me
I'm just a way to get you through your misery
You don't need my love, i know you'll let me down
It's only 'cause you're lonely that you're comin' 'round

You say it just ain't right
To sleep alone at night
And how much you have missed
A lover's tender kiss

When will you understand my heart is free at last

It's only 'cause you're lonely, that you're wanting me
I'm just a way to get you through your misery
You don't need my love, i know you'll let me down
It's only 'cause you're lonely that you're comin' 'round
It's only 'cause you're lonely that you're comin' 'round
