Chill Of An Early Fall

The years have been
So good to you and i my friend
They brought us to the autumn wind
And left the tears behind
And who'd have dreamed
That love could grow so endlessly
And you'd have meant so much to me
Is it already time

Chorus:
And i will always love you so
We'll hold each other close until it's time to go
And we believed we had forever on our side
Is it already time

Chorus

And we believed we had forever on our side
Is it already time

well her old friend, from her own end of town dropped by today,
And way down deep inside me something died
When he came 'round to see her that way.
Here it comes again, that same old chilly wind
Will blow like a cold winter squall.
And i'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall.

And i'll be drinking again and thinking whenever he calls,
There's a storm coming on, it won't be too long till the snow falls.
Oh i'll be sobersome,
But when october comes and goes and no time at all
I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall.

Oh how quick they slip away, here today and gone tomorrow.
Love and seasons never stay, bitter winds are sure to follow.
Now there's no doubt, it's gonna be cold out tonight;
I've shivered all day, and when i look in her eyes
Needing to hold her so tight, she just looks away.

Oh she'll swear that it's true, he's just someone she knew
Long ago, and i'll know that's not all,
And i'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall.
Oh i'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall.

Well i woke up this mornin'
Looked outdoors
I can tell my milk cow
I can tell by the way she lows
If you see my milk cow
Please drive her on home
Cause i ain't had no milk and butter
Since that cows been gone

Well you gotta treat me right honey
Day by day
Get out your little prayer book
Get down upon your knees and pray
Cause you're gonna need me
You're gonna need my help someday
Lord you're gonna be sorry
Ou, you treated me this a way
Aw, now take it away boys

Sail on, sail on, sail on little gal, sail on
Sail on, sail on, sail on little gal, sail on
You're gonna keep right on sailing
Till you lose your happy home

Well good evening
Don't that sun look good going down
I said well good evening
Don't that sun look good going down
Don't that ol' army cot look lonely
When your lover ain't no place around

Well i tried everything baby
To get along with you
Now i'm gonna tell you
What i'm gonna do
I'm gonna stop my cryinõ
Gonna leave you alone
And if you don't think i'm leavinõ big momma
Just count the days i'm gone
You ain't gonna see me
You ain't gonna see my sweet face no more

Lord you gonna be wondering honey
Where in this world i've gone
Milk cow blues

Baby since you left me i've found someone new
She thinks i'm perfect i swear
She likes my body, my class, and my charm
She says i've got a confident air
She respects my ambition, thinks i'm talented too
But she's in love with an image time is bound to see through

Chorus:
You know me better than that
You know the me that gets lazy an fat
How moody i can be
All my insecurities
You've seen me lose all my charm
You know i was raised on a farm
Oh she tells her i'm perfect
And that i love her cat
But you know me better than that

I miss picnics and blue jeans and buckets of beer
Now it's ballet and symphony hall
I'm in culture clean up to my ears
It's like wearn' a shoe that's too small
Oh i caught her with an issue of brides magazine
Starin' at dresses and pickin' out rings

Repeat chorus

Oh she tells her friends i'm perfect
And that i love that cat
Oh, but you know me better than that

If you have any left of her kisses
When you¹re through with your latest affair
Don¹t let them just waste, i know how they taste
I¹ll take anything you can spare

And if you have a few idle moments
If you¹re lonely and nobody¹s there
I¹ll gladly fill in Œtil you find a new friend
I¹ll take anything you can spare

Yes, i¹ll even take some heartaches from you
Though i¹ve already more than my share
I love you all the time, so baby keep me in mind
I¹ll take anything you can spare
