Making Plans
Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · The Three Bells [Bear Family] [1993]
It's so hard for me to believe
I'm making plans for the heartaches
'Cause you're making plans to leave.
The tears for me will be falling
Like a tree shedding its leaves
I'm making plans for the teardrops
'Cause you're making plans to leave.
You're making plans to forget me
I'm making plans to miss you
I'm getting ready to grieve
I'm making plans to be lonesome
'Cause you're making plans to leave.
I'm making plans to be lonesome
'Cause you're making plans to leave...
