Waylon

You're not my same sweet baby lady

You're not the same baby I knew

The world is all wrong girl and I'm not the man

Who can change it for you

I'll just be packing my bags and silently go.

What's the good in pretending

And watching it drag on and on

The good is in ending it while there's the time left

To say that your mind is your own.

You're not my same sweet baby lady

Now the bright lights faded they've taken the baby from you

Girl I'm not saying my bubbles so great

That hard times won't break that too

I'll just be packing my bags and silently go.

--- Instrumental ---

What's the good in pretending

And watching it drag on and on

The good is in ending it while there's the time left

To say that your mind is your own.

You're not my same sweet baby lady

Girl I'm not saying I haven't done some changing too

So please stop your cryin' you know I'm not tryin'

To lay all the blame off on you

I'll just be packing my bags and silently go.

--- Instrumental ---

The world is all wrong girl and I'm not the man

Who can change it for you...
