What Am I Doing There

George Jones · Walls Can Fall [1992]

(Buddy Brock & Zack Turner)



I no longer know what's real any more

In the back of my mind I have opened the door

That leads to the past and the love we once shared

I keep asking myself, what am I doing there?



Chorus:

What am I doing there holding you tight

Taking down your hair, lying close by your side

Making believe that you still care

My new life is here, what am I doing there



I don't get much rest with this secret I keep

And I'm afraid that some night, oh, I'll talk in my sleep

How could I explain to the one lying here

She's loving me now, what am I doing there?



Chorus:

What am I doing there holding you tight

Taking down your hair lying close by your side

Making believe that you still care

My new life is here, what am I doing there?



My new life is here, what am I doing there?...
