Good Old Fashioned Cry
George Jones · A Good Year For The Roses
When I feel so lonesome and I think that I
Can't go on with out you there ain't no use to try
Then I tell my heart the things I mean to do
Run and hide and have a good old fashioned cry.
When my memory start talkin' back to me
And I almost feel the lips that said goodbye
Then I tell myself the thing for me to do
Is run and hide and have a good old fashioned cry.
--- Instrumental ---
Sometimes when I feel I've taken my last step
And I can't make one more move without your help
Then I tell my heart the thing I need to do
Is run and hide and have a good old fashioned cry.
When my memory start talkin' back to me
And I almost feel the lips that said goodbye
Then I tell myself the things for me to do
Is run and hide and have a good old fashioned cry.
Is run and hide and have a good old fashioned cry...
Can't go on with out you there ain't no use to try
Then I tell my heart the things I mean to do
Run and hide and have a good old fashioned cry.
When my memory start talkin' back to me
And I almost feel the lips that said goodbye
Then I tell myself the thing for me to do
Is run and hide and have a good old fashioned cry.
--- Instrumental ---
Sometimes when I feel I've taken my last step
And I can't make one more move without your help
Then I tell my heart the thing I need to do
Is run and hide and have a good old fashioned cry.
When my memory start talkin' back to me
And I almost feel the lips that said goodbye
Then I tell myself the things for me to do
Is run and hide and have a good old fashioned cry.
Is run and hide and have a good old fashioned cry...
