I'm Only Losin' Everything I Threw Away

(John Schweers)



Mornin', lonely mornin',

I feel so lonesome raindrops fallin' down

Leavin' Lord, she's leavin'

She bought a oneway Greyhound ticket from this town.



Takin', she's been takin'

She's been a long time takin' all of my hurtin' away

Losin', I'm only losin'

I'm only losin' everything I threw away.



I'm only losin' someone special

Who never made me cry

That warm and tender someone

Who's lips just said goodbye.



I'm only losin' my tomorrow

My today and yesterday

I'm only losin'

Everything I threw away.



Beggin', Lord I'm beggin',

Askin' her please take me back again

Cryin' Lord, now she's cryin'

But with tearfull eyes she slowly shakes her head.



Footsteps, her fading footstep

Walking out the door now I'm alone

Dawnin', for me it's dawnin'

This time she's not foolin' she's gone.



I'm only losin' someone special

Who never made me cry

That warm and tender someone

Who's lips just said goodbye.



I'm only losin' my tomorrow

My today and yesterday

I'm only losin'

Everything I threw away.



I'm only losin'

Everything I threw away...
