Hungry Again

I couldn't believe it the day that you left
Cleaned out your closet, cleared off your shelves
Loaded your car and you drove out of sight
But i never said goodbye
I'll never say goodbye
The door's always open, i leave on a light
I'm always waiting in case you drop by
I'll never say goodbye
People have told me you have a new love
My heart's not willing to give up on us
I've convinced myself they're just telling me lies
And i'll never say goodbye

I'll never say goodbye
The door's always open, i leave on a light
I never wanted you out of my life
And i'll never say goodbye

I'll never say goodbye
The door's always open, i leave on a light
I'll be loving you till the day that i die
And i'll never say goodbye

If you'll just come back, i won't even ask why
I'll never say goodbye, no i'll never say goodbye

Bartender won't you pour me a very strong drink
Just keep it coming till i don't have to think
And point out some cowboy that might want to dance
And make sure i get home if you see that i can't
You see i loved him, he left me for a girl half my age
I relate to each sad song that ole jukebox has played
I listen to haggard, ole hank, and george jones
But why don't more women sing honky tonk songs?
Chorus:

Why don't more women sing honky-tonk songs?
About the heartaches and the tough breaks
And the men that's done 'em wrong
There are others just like me that are hurtin' to the bone
So why don't more women sing honky-tonk songs

Why don't more women sing honky tonk songs
Honky tonk angels are just queens without thrones
Judge not lest you be judged, who can cast the first stone
Why don't more women sing honky-tonk songs

Repeat 1st verse

(all you lonely women sing)
Why don't more women sing honky tonk songs
About the heartaches and the tough breaks
And all the men that's done us wrong
There's a whole lotta women i know would sing along
So why don't more women sing honky tonk songs

Why don't more women sing honky tonk songs

The thrill, the desire, the excitement is gone
We seem to have found a safe comfort zone
We worked so hard to get where we are
That romance got lost on the way
It used to be never enough
We'd melt with each look and each burning touch
We laughed and we loved and we just ate it up
Back when we were hungry that way
Chorus:

Let's love like we're hungry again
Bring back the passion we had back then
The time has gone by, we forgot what it meant
Lets love like we're hungry again

Don't you miss those feelings we had at the start
And that fire that got started from each little spark
Oh it's good where we are, but i miss where we've been
Lets love like we're hungry again, now and then

Lets love like we're hungry again
Bring back the passion we had back then
The time has gone by, now we've grown too content
Lets love like we're hungry again, now and then
Lets love like we're hungry again

She was born in a place called blue valley
At the foot of the tennessee hills
With the blue birds and blue bells
And blue mountain water
And the sound of the blue whippoorwill
But there was no peace in the valley
Her daddy, a cruel, ruthless man
Used and abused her mind and her body
So her mama said run while you can
So at fifteen she took to the highway
Belongings and guitar in hand
And she buried herself in her music
The one thing she did understand
And she sings like a bird and she writes like a poet
Her voice has that high, lonesome sound
She hurts, and her songs are the best way to show it
So the blue valley songbird keeps traveling around
She hopes someday she will make it
And everyone says that she will
When she comes to town, crowds flock around
To see the girl from the tennessee hills
She writes her letter back home to her mama
In care of the preacher in town
They're sacred to her so she reads them at church
And so her daddy cannot track her down

And she sings like a bird and she cries like a baby
Whenever she turns off the lights
She's a whole lot lonesome and a little bit crazy
From mem'ries and miseries and dreams gone awry

Blue dress, blue shoes, a blue cadillac
A band dressed in blue by her side
Instruments tied to the top and the back
'cause the blue valley songbird is singing tonight

One nighters, honky tonks, years flying by
She never made it, but lord knows she tries
Expressing the feelings she holds inside
And the blue valley songbird is singing tonight
Oh the blue valley songbird is singing tonight

And she sings like a bird and she writes like a poet

When i was a child i recall and old man; everybody loved old zeke
He was all alone, his family was gone; one day he said to me
I'm just sittin' here thinkin' about jesus, rockin' as my old chair creaks
Some glad day i'll fly away when jesus comes calling for me
It might be today, it might be tomorrow, maybe one day next week
I'll soon be done with trouble and sorrow when he comes calling for me
When jesus comes calling for me
When i die don't grieve and cry
Lordy, don't feel sorry for me
Oh what a day, what a mighty fine day
When jesus comes calling for me
When he comes calling for me

I might be in the graveyard walking talking to my family
Or i might be plowing in the field down yonder, just old muley and me
Wherever i am, whatever i'm a doing, some sweet day i'll see
And band of angels in a cloud of glory when jesus comes calling for me
When he comes calling for me

When i die just close my eyes
And lay me 'neath the willow tree
Oh what a day, what a mighty fine day
When jesus comes calling for me
When jesus comes calling for me

I'm just sittin' here watchin' for jesus, rockin' as my old chair creaks
Some sweet day i'll fly away when jesus comes calling for me
When he comes calling for me

I've tried and i've tried for so long to please you
Gave you every bit of my time
Gave you everything i could possibly give you
My body, my heart, and my mind
I turned my family and good friends against me
Listened to my own heart break
And i did it all in the name of love
Gave up myself for your sake
And you never cared about me
You only hurt and deceive
I realize after all of these years
That you ain't worth the salt in my tears
You've cheated, you've lied and you've hurt me
Over and over again
You promised to love me forever
But forever reached a bitter sweet end
Been blinded by love to your actions
But at last i can see my way clear
I've cried and i've tried, and i've tried and i've cried
But you, you've never shed one tear

'cause you never cared about me
You only hurt and deceive
I realize after all of these years
That you ain't worth the salt in my tears

You ain't worth, you ain't worth the salt in my tears
Treated like dirt, i'm hurt, i ain't hangin' 'round here
You've left me crying, left me crying for years
But you ain't worth the salt in my tears

You never cared about me
You only hurt and decieve
I realize after all of these years
That you ain't worth the salt in my tears
No you ain't worth the salt in my tears
