Hank Williams inspired breakup song which references Jim Reeves and Buck Owens....
lyrics
Your desperate eyes are sayin' things your darlin' lips can't say
They told me it was over girl..before they looked away
My heartache and my sorrow they grow more and more each day
Your desperate eyes are talkin' and they're givin' you away
Well every weekend I come here and taste the same sweet lies
I have to swallow hard each time I see your desperate eyes
I spend my weeknights wondering if you're there home alone
Your sweet lips they sound a little closer to the phone
Lord I'm just a workin' man...a simple man that's all
But it don't take no P.H.D. to see the writing on the wall
And so I'll tote this break-up note and post it in the mail
sayin' quote, "That's all she wrote"..let go this tiger's tail
Your desperate eyes are sayin' things your darlin' lips can't say
They told me it was over girl..before they looked away
My heartache and my sorrow they grow more and more each day
Your desperate eyes are talkin' and they're givin' you away
Your desperate eyes are talkin' and they're givin' you away
