This Time

(dwight yoakam)

I walked in
There sat slim
Cleaning up his memory
With some sapphire gin
Mr. paine grabbed my arm
Pulled me aside
And said, kid are you ready for the wild ride

I looked up
There she stood
I said, if you didn't look so great
I'd say you look good
Ah, she took her hand
Ran it up my thigh
And said, cowboy you ready for the wild ride

Come on now junior take the wild ride
See can you make it on the wild ride
Don't try no shakin' on the wild ride
'cause things start breakin' on the wild ride

Layin' on the highway
I saw my mind
In tiny little pieces
Thrown from side to side
My heart was shattered
Along with my pride
Guess you can't keep 'em on the wild ride

Come on now junior take the wild ride
See can you make it on the wild ride
Don't try no shakin' on the wild ride
'cause things start breakin' on the wild ride

I was crawlin' 'cross the floor
I was tryin' to leave
When i felt something tuggin' what was
Left of my sleeve
I heard a little voice with a
Gold-plated vibe
Say, i bought a ticket for the wild ride

Come on now junior take the wild ride
See can you make it on the wild ride
Don't try no shakin' on the wild ride
We might just break it on the wild ride

Come on now junior take the wild ride
See can you make it on the wild ride
Don't try no shakin' on the wild ride
We might just break it on the wild ride

Come on, come
Take me on a wild ride
See can you make me on the wild ride
Come on and shake me on the wild ride
You might just break me on the wild ride

This time
Is the last time
That i'll ever call her name
This time
Is the last time
That i'll ever play her game
And this time
Is the last time
That i'll endure this pain
'cause this time
Is the last time
She'll ever hurt me again

I tell myself each morning
That we're through
But every night i see
That it's not true
I run out
And track her down
Just so i can hang around
And cry

This time
Is the last time
That i'll ever call her name
This time
Is the last time
That i'll ever play her game
And this time
Is the last time
That i'll endure this pain
'cause this time
Is the last time
She'll ever hurt me again

Come on heart let's make believe we're fine
We'll both agree the pain's just in our mind
I'll close my eyes and try not to hear
The things i'll say when she appears
To haunt me

This time
Is the last time
That i'll ever call her name
This time
Is the last time
That i'll ever play her game
And this time
Is the last time
That i'll endure this pain
'cause this time
Is the last time
She'll ever hurt me again

Two doors down there's a jukebox
That plays all night long
Real sad songs
All about me and you
Two doors down thee's a barmaid
That serves 'em real strong
Here lately
That's how i make it through
Two doors down there's a heartache
That once was my friend
Two doors down there's a memory
That won't ever end

Two doors down there's a barstool
That knows me by name
And we sit there together
And wait for you
Two doors down there's a bottle
Where i take out my shame
And hold it up
For the whole world to view
Two doors down there's a pay phone
But no calls come in
Two doors down there's a memory
That won't ever end

From the hotel to the barroom
Is just a stumble and a fall
And sometimes when it gets bad
I've been known to crawl
Freedom from sorrow
Is just two doors away
I'll escape for a short time
But i know i can't stay

Two doors down is where they'll find me
When you're finally through
Taking what's left of my life
Two doors down is where they'll leave me
When payment comes due
For the hours i've spent there each night
Two doors down i'll be forgotten
But until then
Two doors down there's a memory
That won't ever end.

Try not to look so pretty
The next time that we meet
Please don't look so pretty
And i won't act so weak

Please don't look so pretty
You're lovely but it's just cruel
Try not to look so pretty
And i'll try not to be your fool

You walk in and steal my mind
Oh, but who gave you the right
To treat me like some useless thought
You know away each night

Please don't look so pretty
You're lovely but it's just cruel
Try not to look so pretty
And i'll try not to be your fool

You make it hard on me
Oh, but i'll try to pretend
That you're jut a lovesick dream
That always has to end

Please don't look so pretty
You're lovely but it's just cruel
Try not to look so pretty
And i'll try not to be your fool

(dwight yoakam)

Where did i go wrong
You know i've never had a clue
I must have just been born no good
'cause bad's the best that i can do

Was it just my fate in life
To end up here this way
Lost and all alone
One more black lamb that's gone astray

Lonesome roads are the only kind i ever travel
Empty rooms are the only place i ever stay
I'm just a face out in the crowd that looks like trouble
Poor ol' worthless me is the only friend i ever made

Lonesome roads, the only kind i ever travel
Empty rooms, the only place i ever stay
I'm just a face out in the crowd that looks like trouble
Poor ol' worthless me's the only friend i ever made
Poor ol' worthless me's the only friend i ever made

Inside the pocket of a clown
Is a sad place to hang around
Just watching smiles turn into frowns
Inside the pocket of a clown

Inside the heartache of a fool
You'll learn things they don't teach in school
And lessons there can be real cruel
Inside the heartache of a fool

Hollow lies
Make a thin disguise
As little drops of truth
Fall from your eyes

Hollow lies
Make a thin disguise
As little drops of truth
Fall from your eyes

Inside a memory from the past
Lies every love that didn't last
And sweet dreams can start to fade real fast
Inside a memory from the past

Yeah, it's a real sad place to hang around
Inside the pocket of a clown
