Lock, Stock, And Teardrops

Roger Miller · Other Songs - Roger Miller

Someday, I won't come runnin'

When you call

The way you hurt me

It's a wonder, I'm still here at all

Someday, you'll wake up

And you'll find yourself alone

Lock, stock and teardrops

I'll be gone, I can't go on

The way you make me feel

You make me cry

And every time

Expect me to forgive

Someday, you'll wake up

To a cold and lonely dawn

Lock, stock and teardrops

I'll be gone

Oh someday, I'll wake up

Find my strength to carry on

And lock, stock and teardrops

I'll be gone

Lock, stock and teardrops

Lock, stock and teardrops

Lock, stock and teardrops

I'll be gone
