cry night after night

i almost hate to go back home

somebody's died every time i've been gone

i ain't saying i don't want to know

just that it brings me down so low

i was needing more out of life

i forgot how to be your wife

everybody's settlin' for settlin' down

hear the jingle of the chains rattling around

i never really gave much thought

i'm sure its my own fault

i just figured after years gone by

all them tears would have run dry

i go out night after night

and i wonder if i'm treating myself right

and i think about the ones i left behind

when i cry night after night

here's to the ones who worked all along

living in fear of being alone

well i started out early in life

i made mine and i knew i

could never really go back home

that's the same as being alone

sure

i could always turn it around

that'd be the same as shooting me down
