1.Sorry You Asked
(dwight yoakam)
Chorus：
You'll be sorry you asked me the reason
That she's not here with me tonight
And i know you were probably just acting polite
But you'll be sorry you ever asked why
We started having problems in august last year
So things had been kinda rough for quite awhile
And you know how you think it'll work itself out
Well, mister that thought's wrong by a long, long mile
Chorus：
You'll be sorry you asked me the reason
That she's not here with me tonight
And i know you were probably just acting polite
But you'll be sorry you ever asked why
I mighta, shoulda seen that we were drifting apart
But i was in what i guess you'd call denial
And i always heard them say that you're the last one to know
Well buddy i was last by a long, long while
Chorus：
You'll be sorry you asked me the reason
That she's not here with me tonight
And i know you were probably just acting polite
But you'll be sorry you ever asked why
Okay we both have a tendency to overreact
So i can't really tell you who's at fault
But there were certain third parties, well her sister for one
That helped bring out reconciling to a drop-dead halt
Chorus：
Now aren't you sorry you asked me the reason
That she's not here with me tonight
And i know you were probably just acting polite
But i'm sure sorry you ever asked why
Aren't you sorry you ever asked why
I'm sure sorry you ever asked why
Did i tell you that she tried to have me locked out of the house
I had to go hire a lawyer and all
But i know that was mostly her family's idea
I could her them tell her what to say every time i called
2.Near You
(dwight yoakam)
Everywhere you go each day
I will be near you
Oh and dear you
Don't even have to say much
For me to hear you
Because it's clear you
Have a very simple way
To keep me near you
Oh yeah dear
Through the power of love
Through the power of love
Every morning, night and noon
I will be near you
Oh and dear you
Won't even have to do much
For me to feel you
Are sincere you
Like a magnet pull so strong
It keeps me near you
Oh yeah dear
Through the power of love
Through the power of love
I could try to just lie
And tell people i'm free
Like a wave tellin' sand
It won't go back to the sea
But what i say doesn't do no good
Like i ever thought it would
Everywhere you go each day
I will be near you
Oh and dear you
Don't even have to say much
For me to hear you
Because it's clear you
Have a very simple way
To keep me near you
Oh yeah dear
Through the power of love
Through the power of love
The power of love
The power of love
3.Don't Be Sad
(dwight yoakam)
Chorus：
Don't be sad 'cause you got what you wanted
You should be glad to know that i'm finally gone
Don't feel bad or be disappointed
'cause you got what you wanted all along
Wasn't it you who said a
Blinded fool could see the
Clear plain truth about how
Deeply cruel it is to
Live a lie here with each other
And mourn a life that won't recover
As i recall those were the very words i heard you use
Chorus：
So don't be sad 'cause you got what you wanted
You should be glad to know that i'm finally gone
Don't feel bad or be disappointed
'cause you got what you wanted all along
Wasn't it me who asked so
Stupidly if there were
Things that i could maybe
Do or try to somehow
Hold what feel apart together
But you just coldly told me never
To even entertain the though that our love would survive
Chorus：
So don't be sad 'cause you got what you wanted
You should be glad to know that i'm finally gone
Don't feel bad or be disappointed
'cause you got what you wanted all along
4.Gone(That'll Be Me)
(dwight yoakam)
Chorus：
That'll be me you'll see
Walking away
That'll be me you'll see
For the last time today
That'll be me you'll see
For not very long
'cause that'll be me
You'll see
That'll be gone
Remember how you warned me
'bout all your leavin' plans
Well i know this might seem unexpected
So prepare yourself
The best you can
Chorus：
That'll be me you'll see
Walking away
That'll be me you'll see
For the last time today
That'll be me you'll see
For not very long
'cause that'll be me
You'll see
That'll be gone
Think back on when you threatened
And never left no doubt
Although this could be kinds sudden
I'm sure you can
Figure it all out
Chorus：
That'll be me you'll see
Walking away
That'll be me you'll see
For the last time today
That'll be me you'll see
For not very long
'cause that'll be me
You'll see
That'll be gone
That'll be me you'll see
That'll be gone
5.Nothing
(dwight yoakam)
I couldn't change your heart
I couldn't change your mind
So i just had to learn to live with
This empty life you left behind
You didn't try to hear
You didn't try to see
No you just stared right through the teardrops
Like there was nothing left of me
Nothing but sorrow, nothing but pain
Nothing but memories that whisper your name
Nothing but sadness, nothing but fear
Nothing but silence is heard around here
Bridges were burned
Lessons were learned
Promises made that were broken
Tender lies so softly spoken
You didn't try to hear
You didn't try to see
You just stared right through the teardrops
Like there was nothing left of me
Nothing but sorrow, nothing but pain
Nothing but memories that whisper your name
Nothing but sadness, nothing but fear
Nothing but silence is heard around here
Nothing but sorrow, nothing but pain
Nothing but memories that whisper your name
Nothing but sadness, nothing but fear
Nothing but silence is heard around here
Nothing but sorrow, nothing but pain
Nothing but memories that whisper your name
Nothing but sadness, nothing but fear
Nothing but silence is heard around here
6.Never Hold You
(dwight yoakam)
I've seen 'em watch you and
Make plans what they'll do when
Someday you are no longer mine
I've heard 'em carry on about
How when i'm finally gone they're
Gonna treat you oh so fine
But i could have told them that
They'd never hold you if they tried
I could have told them
You bend and fold men who
Thought they would have you for a prize
I could have told them
Those foolish soul'd men that
They'd never hold you if they tried hey
I've been made real aware of
Pleasure that they'll share with
You soon as i slip your mind
I've listened to 'em boast how
I'll just be a ghost once
They start takin' up your time
But i could have told them that
They'd never hold you if they tried
I could have told them that
They'd never hold you if they tried hey
7.This Much I Know
(dwight yoakam)
This much i know
She'll never come back to me
This much i know
She meant what she said
＼this much i know
It's taught me all about misery
I just learn kinds slow
This much i know
This much i feel
I should have reached out to her
This much i fell
I tried it too late
This much i feel
How empty the world can be
And so painfully real
This much i fell
I've had second thoughts about
Every reason
We let love slip away
From our lives
And there's no place left to look
That i don't see some
Small reminder
Of all the chances
I just let go by
This much i need
To wake up once and find she's not gone
This much i need
Oh, but i'll never have
This much i need
Words to speak without missing her
Or just some new way to breathe
This much i need
8.Baby Why Not
(dwight yoakam)
Oh baby why not
Just take one more chance
And risk all we got
On this luckless romance
If someone asks why
We'll say we forgot
And went kinda crazy
Oh baby why not
If love needs a fool
For it to survive
It sure looks to me
Like we both qualify
And a pair of fools
Will always beat one
So let's play the cards
And get this deal done
Oh baby why not
Bet big on the bliss
And laugh in the face
Of what all odds insist
If someone asks why
We'll say we forgot
And both lost our minds
Oh baby why not
Oh baby please
You and i
Are exactly what we need
So let's throw away all care
Move out on the edge somewhere
Find a place and just swing there in the breeze
Oh baby why not
Just take one more chance
And risk all we got
On this luckless romance
If someone asks why
We'll say we forgot
And threw our lives away
Oh baby why not
And went kinda crazy
Oh baby why not
And both lost our minds
Oh baby why not
Oh baby, oh baby,
Oh baby, oh baby why not
Why not, why not
Why not, why not
Why not, why not
Why not, why not
Why not
Give me three good reasons, and i'll let you up
No, wait a minute, give me five good reasons and i'll let you up
Uh huh, uh huh
No, four don't count, 'cause that's your mother's reason
Hey, don't bite me
Oh baby why not
9.One More Night
(dwight yoakam)
One more night and i know
That i'll be over you
One more night and i know
Ah, that the worst is through
And if i can make this heart
Just believe it too
Then one more night and i know
That i'll be over you
One more night and i know
That i'll forget your voice
One more night and i know
That i can make that choice
And ignore the awful sounds
That come when love's destroyed
Because one more night and i know
That i'll forget your voice
I'll escape it
If i learn to take it
And just survive two or three
Of the next million thoughts
That i have about you and me
One more night
One more night
One more night
One more night
10.Heart Of Stone
(dwight yoakam)
Chorus：
This heart of stone sure is missing you
Sure is wishing you were back where love belongs
This heart of stone has not forgotten you
But broke while trying to pretend that it was strong
Memories have made its will grow tired and weak
Silently it turned from being bold to meek
'til finally it gave into a sad defeat
Aching more and more with every fragile beat
Chorus：
This heart of stone sure is missing you
Sure is wishing you were back where love belongs
This heart of stone has not forgotten you
But broke while trying to pretend that it was strong
Loneliness has slowly stripped it of its pride
Leaving just an empty well here behind
Without a hope of anyway it could survive
Stranded there alone and simply left to die
Chorus：
This heart of stone sure is missing you
Sure is wishing you were back where love belongs
This heart of stone has not forgotten you
But broke while trying to pretend that it was strong
