Girl, when I look at you
You look through me like I'm not even there
I’m tryin’ not to give up, to be strong but
I'm afraid to say I'm scared
I can't find the place your heart is hidin’
I'm no quitter but I'm tired of fightin’

Baby, I love you
Don't want to lose you
Don't make me let you go
Took such a long time
For me to find you
Don't make me let you go
Baby, I'm begging, please
And I'm down here on my knees
I don't want to have to set you free
Don't make me

What if when I'm long gone
It dawns on you you just might want me back
Let me make myself clear, if I leave here
It's done; I'm gone, that's that
You carry my love around like it's a heavy burden
Well, I'm about to take it back
Are you sure it's worth it

Baby, I love you
Don't want to lose you
Don't make me let you go
Took such a long time
For me to find you
Don't make me let you go
Baby, I'm begging, please
And I'm down here on my knees
I don't want to have to set you free
Don't make me
Don't make me

(Don't make me)

Baby, I'm begging, please
And I'm down here on my knees
I don't want to have to set you free
Don't make me

(Baby, I love you
Don't want to lose you
Don't make me let you go)

Don't make me
Stop loving you

(Don't make me)

Stop needing you

He was sittin’ at the bar, sippin’ on a regular Coke
We were drinkin’ and smokin’ and makin’ him the butt of our jokes
We all said, "Man, what happened to you? Why can't you just have a few?"
He said, "I would if I could, but it's probably best that I don't"

‘Cause the more I drink, the more I drink
Yeah, I'm the world's greatest lover and a dancin’ machine
I get loud, I get proud, and it gets worse
Well, if I have one, I'll have thirteen
Now there ain’t no in-between
‘Cause the more I drink, the more I drink

A couple of cold ones, and somebody hands me a shot
Hell, even buck-tooth and bow-legged women start lookin’ hot
And pretty soon I'm bummin’ cigarettes and sweet talkin’ some big brunette
Yeah, once I get on a roll, there aren’t no tellin’ where I'll stop

'Cause the more I drink, the more I drink
Yeah, I'm the world's greatest lover and a dancin’ machine
I get loud, I get proud, and it gets worse
Yeah, if I have one, I'll have thirteen
Now there ain’t no in-between
Cause the more I drink, the more I drink

Yep, yep
Hmm, that’s what I'm talking about

Man, if I have one, I'll have thirteen
And they can't get me off the karaoke machine
The more I drink, the more I drink
Yeah, the more I drink, the more I drink, the more I drink

You know if I'd seen her comin’
I’d've probably tried to hide
But I came around the corner
And she caught me by surprise
There was no ice cold shoulder
There was no ugly scene
She just smiled and didn't say
The things I thought she'd say to me

Well, it was nothing like that rainy night
She left and slammed the door
Not only she don't love me
She don't hate me anymore

Yeah, I felt like some old neighbor
Just some guy she once knew
You'd never know she loved me
And I broke her heart in two
Was she hiding her emotions
Or did she really get that strong
Right then she turned and
Introduced me to her new friend John

I could tell the way he shook my hand
He'd never heard of me before
Not only she don't love me
She don't hate me anymore

There was no ice cold shoulder
There was no ugly scene
She just smiled and didn't say
The things I just knew she'd say to me

Guess she got so caught up in him
My memory's gone ignored
Not only she don't love me
She don't hate me anymore

Now I know it might sound crazy
But I don't know what hurts me more
Is it the fact that she don't love me
Or she don’t hate me anymore
Not only she don’t love me
She don’t hate me anymore

Well I caught my wife with another man
And it cost me ninety nine
On a prison farm in Georgia
Close to the Florida line
Well I'd been here for two long years
I finally made the warden my friend
And so he sentenced me to a life of ease
Taking care of Ol’ Red

Now Ol' Red he's the damnedest dog that I've ever seen
Got a nose that can smell a two day trail
He's a four legged tracking machine
You can consider yourself mighty lucky
To get past the gators and the quicksand beds
But all these years that I've been here
Ain’t nobody got past Red

And the warden sang
Come on somebody
Why don't you run
Ol' Red's itching to have a little fun
Get my lantern
Get my gun
Red will have you treed before the mornin’ comes

Well I paid off the guard and I slipped out a letter
To my cousin up in Tennessee
Oh, and he brought down a blue tick hound
She was pretty as she could be
Well they penned her up in the swampland
'Bout a mile just south of the gate
And I'd take Ol' Red for his evening run
I'd just drop him off and wait

And the warden sang
Come on somebody
Why don't you run
Ol' Red's itching to have a little fun
Get my lantern
Get my gun
Red will have you treed before the mornin’ comes

Now Ol' Red got real used to seeing
His lady every night
And so I kept him away for three or four days
And waited till the time got right
Well I made my run with the evening sun
And I smiled when I heard them let Red out
Cause I was headed north to Tennessee
And Ol' Red was headed south

And the warden sang
Come on somebody
Why don't you run
Ol' Red's itching to have a little fun
Get my lantern
Get my gun
Red will have you treed before the mornin’ comes

Now there's red haired blue ticks all in the South
Love got me in here and love got me out
