Once She Loved Me That Much
Johnny Paycheck · Song and Dance Man [Epic] [1973]
(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice)
It only changes her touch to turn your world around
A kiss from her can start your life anew
I know it makes you happy to have her in your arms
How proud you are cause she belongs to you.
Once she loved me that much so I know how you feel
You thinks she's gone and loved you from now on
So love her while you can someday you'll understand
Her dreams are built of sand once she loved me that much.

I know she makes you happy when she is in your arms
How proud you are cause she belongs to you
So love her while you can someday you'll understand
Her dreams are built of sand once she loved me that much...
It only changes her touch to turn your world around
A kiss from her can start your life anew
I know it makes you happy to have her in your arms
How proud you are cause she belongs to you.
Once she loved me that much so I know how you feel
You thinks she's gone and loved you from now on
So love her while you can someday you'll understand
Her dreams are built of sand once she loved me that much.

I know she makes you happy when she is in your arms
How proud you are cause she belongs to you
So love her while you can someday you'll understand
Her dreams are built of sand once she loved me that much...
Once She Loved Me That Much
Johnny Paycheck delivers a gritty, country-rock anthem on the 1973 album *Song and Dance Man*. The track exemplifies his signature blend of honky-tonk storytelling and outlaw country swagger, featuring a driving rhythm section that underscores themes of heartbreak and resilience. Recorded during the height of his early career, the song captures the raw emotion and vernacular style that defined the genre's evolution in the early 1970s. Its enduring appeal lies in Paycheck's ability to craft a narrative that resonates with the struggles of the working class, delivered with a vocal performance that balances grit and melody.
