(Willie Nelson/Hank Craig)
Each night I make the rounds
To every spot in town
A lonely man with lonely time to kill
All I can say is what a way to live
The paths my memories take
Just make my poor heart ache
I think of her I guess I always will
All I can say is what a way to live
I'd rather lay me down tonight
And never wake again
Than to face another day the shape my life is in
The jukebox playing loud
A face among the crowd
So much like hers it makes my heart stand still
All I can say is what a way to live
I'd rather lay me down tonight
And never wake again
Than to face another day the shape my life is in
The jukebox playing loud
A face among the crowd
So much like hers it makes my heart stand still
All I can say is what a way to live
All I can say is what a way to liveI don't care about your man's reputation
I don't care what you say about him
All I know is you're some kinda woman
And it won't be tonight, but you're gonna give in
Go and give him his walking papers
Tell him things that he never knew
Don't you hear what your new man's saying
Now you know what you've gotta do now
Chorus:
Go and tell him you can't see him again
Go and tell him you can't see him again
You can't say that you don't think about me
Late at night lying in your bed
Stirring the soup and you start to dreamin' 'bout
The times we had and the times that I said now
Chorus
I don't care about your man's reputation
I don't care what your man's gonna do
You can tell that you're gonna come runnin'
Baby, I can tell that your gonna come soon
Chorus
Go and tell him that you're gone
Go and tell him that you're gone
Go and tell him that you're gone
Go and tell him that you're gone
You can tell him,
Let him know that you're coming home with me tonight
