Album: Uptown Country Girl [Chart]
(Mickey Newbury - Doug Gilmore)
Morning comes and Lord my mind is aching
Sunshine standing quietly at my door
Just like the dawn my heart is silently breaking
With my tears it goes tumbling to the floor.
Once again the whole town will be talking
Lord, I've seen the pity that's in their eyes
They could never understand it's his sorrow not another woman
And no matter what they say I know he tried.
Baby's packed everything and he's left me he's left me
And I know he didn't mean to make me cry
It's not his heart Lord it's his mind he didn't mean to be unkind
Why he even woke me up to say goodbye.
It's not his heart Lord it's his mind he didn't mean to be unkind
Why he even woke me up to say goodbye, goodbye baby...
