The Lovin Cup

verse 1 N.C. I got all night to remember you by, I got a half-packed bag and a wonderin' eye N.C. Gonna love you baby till the day I die, don't worry It's just sometimes people get a little fed up, tired of not drinkin' from the lovin' cup Gotta walk on my own like a little bitty pup and hurry Yeah, it seem like every time I give my heart, a couple good years and the bullshit starts I did my best honey, played my part, it's over Now I'm sittin' cross-legged in a heartache tree, knowin' damn well you ain't a' thinking about me Just a sad reminder of a used to be, I'm gone And we go down, down, down, down, down Love just left this town verse 2 If I had a dream, I guess I sold it, if I had a secret, Lord, I told it This here hand I never thought I'd fold it darlin' Well, I paid my dues and I served my time, we had a good time but we never could rhyme Put up a buck just to get back a dime, it's gone I remember a time when the mood was right, and you'd say go and we'd go all night Now's it a bitch, and moan, and fuss, and fight, I'm tired babe If you're ever in trouble, honey, I'll be there, but I'd rather be one than a mournful pair The blind can see that you don't care, I'm gone And we go down, down, down, down, down Love just left this town solo spoken Oh, what have I done?...... I can't believe these things I said I let a couple of bad years go to my head Without your love, I'd be old and dead, I'm sorry It's getting hard to handle that lonesome sound, it's goodbye trouble, I'm homeward bound You're the only good thing this old boy's found, I'm home Final Chorus And we go down, down, down, down, down Love is back in town And we go down, down, down, down, down The one good thing I found Instrumental to end
