Every Time You Say Goodbye

(jack adkins/fort knox music & trio music, bmi)

Wind is blowin' 'round the cabin
I hate to hear that lonesome sound
I'm all alone and so downhearted
Since my true love she ain't around

I hate to see that sun a sinkin'
Another night to toss and turn
Another night to dream about her
Another night for her i yearn

She had no cause to go and leave me
For i had never done her wrong
She left our own little children
Now with another man she's gone

I hate to see that sun a sinkin'
Another night to toss and turn
Another night to dream about her
Another night for her i yearn

Children they are sound asleepin'
Oh they don't know that their mother's gone
What will i do when they awaken?
Can i tell them their mother's wrong?

I hate to see that sun a sinkin'
Another night to toss and turn
Another night to dream about her
Another night for her i yearn

Look at the sky baby
What do you see?
Looks like the tears that i cry
Fallin' down like rain on the ground
Every time you say goodbye

Take a look around now
Why don't you feel
The way that cold wind stings and bites
And your words just are like arrows through my heart
Every time you say goodbye

There's a restless feeling knocking at my door today
There's a shadow hanging 'round my garden gate
I read between the lines of words you can't disguise
Love has gone away, and put these tears in my eyes

Look at the sky baby, see how it cries?
Ain't it just like my tears
Fallin' down like rain on the ground
Every time you say goodbye

There's a restless feeling knocking at my door today
There's a shadow hanging 'round my garden gate
I read between the lines of words you can't disguise
Love has gone away, and put these tears in my eyes

There's a restless feeling knocking at my door today
There's a shadow hanging 'round my garden gate
I read between the lines of words you can't disguise
Love has gone away, and put these tears in my eyes

Way up north where the snow flies and the sun don't hardly shine
If it weren't for my true love, i'd long ago lost my mind
I'd long ago lost my mind

There's good folks here, good folks there, most everywhere i go
But the land of my heart is down where the snow white cotton grows
Where the snow white cotton grows

When the river runs over from the melting snow, we'll take to the higher ground
When the water goes down again we'll saddle our old paint
We'll be homeward bound
Me and my love will be homeward bound

Heartstrings hold tighter than the roots of a live oak tree
Holdin' through tornado winds
Tougher than timber, stronger than steel
They'll guide me back southward again
They'll guide me back southward again

When the river runs over from the melting snow, we'll take to the higher ground
And when the water goes down again we'll saddle our old paint
We'll be homeward bound
Me and my love will be homeward bound

Sometimes i'm battle weary
I forget to use my shield
The arrows pierce my armor
And i stumble in the filed

A shield won't do much good if it's hangin' by your side
Keep the shield of faith before you if you want to stay alive

I'll think my life is over
But the lord he comes to me
He heals my wounded spirit
And he sets me on my feet

A shield won't do much good if it's hangin' by your side
Keep the shield of faith before you if you want to stay alive

Sometimes your battle weary
But the war's already won
Keep your head and hold your shield high
'til your days of life are done

A shield won't do much good if it's hangin' by your side
Keep the shield of faith before you if you want to stay alive


Keep the shield of faith before you if you want to stay alive

Another day, another dollar
That's what i'm working for today
Another day, another dollar
Sure can't buy my blues away

I'm just trying to make a living
Working jobs that i enjoy
But it ain't easy finding something
For this lonesome-hearted boy

Another day, another dollar
That's what i'm working for today
Another day, another dollar
Sure can't buy my blues away

You know my life is like a highway
Just too many roads to take
You know i'll try to take the right one
Just gets harder every day

Another day, another dollar
That's what i'm working for today
Another day, another dollar
Sure can't buy my blues away

Another day, another dollar
That's what i'm working for today, hey
Another day, another dollar
Sure can't buy my blues away

Another day, another dollar
Sure can't buy my blues away

You walked up yesterday and you told me you were leavin'
Left a note sayin' momma won't be back
But you'll come back and i've got news for you dear
You won't have a home and that's a fact

Don't you come back on your knees asking my forgiveness
Pack your bags and move on down the line
Don't you roll them eyes at me, tellin' me your sorry
It's too late babe, and it won't work this time

I've always been around, lord when you needed someone
I played the role 'til i knew each line by heart
But now it's time to change, won't you find another playmate
Someone who'll be glad to play the part

Don't you come back on your knees asking my forgiveness
Pack your bags and move on down the line
Don't you roll them eyes at me, tellin' me your sorry
It's too late babe, and it won't work this time

Don't you come back on your knees asking my forgiveness
Pack your bags and move on down the line
Don't you roll them eyes at me, tellin' me your sorry
It's too late babe, and it won't work this time

Through trials, troubles and care
I know jesus my savior is there
Giving me faith through darkest days
Keeping me on the narrow way

Jesus savior, help me each day
Fill me with hope, fill me with faith
Darkness retreats at the touch of your hand
Jesus savior, help me to stand

Jesus lived through darkest pain
Rejected by men, despising the shame
Man of sorrows, acquainted with grief
He gave his life so we may be free

Jesus savior, help me each day
Fill me with hope, fill me with faith
Darkness retreats at the touch of your hand
Jesus savior, help me to stand

I know that jesus died for me
Cancelled my debt at calvary
Rose from the dead, unlocked heaven's door
Trust in his love and live evermore

Jesus savior, help me each day
Fill me with hope, fill me with faith
Darkness retreats at the touch of your hand
Jesus savior, help me to stand
