doubt i ll ever put this on a record it s more of a letter to you i remember all them nights we spent together i remember every single i love you hell you re better off without me but i ll always have you in my heart and in my memory and i ll keep you there til my days are few so lay your head down on his pillow let him hold you tight cause he didn t hurt you the way i did and i ll just wish i was him tonight and i heard you took up drinkin i guess you learned that from me i was always gonna quit somehow when i started my family we were on the verge of that happiness why did it have to end so soon doubt i ll ever put this on a record but it ll sound just right in a smoke filled room so lay your head down on his pillow let him hold you tight cause he didn t hurt you the way i did and i ll just wish i was him tonight i wish i had a chance to go back and if i did i d make it right but i don t expect you to believe that after all you re twice shy and i m still standing on the fighting side of time so lay your head down on his pillow let him hold you tight cause he didn t hurt you the way i did and i ll just wish i was him tonight
