I had to get my choir off.
[B] [Bb]
[N] Randy Travis has been an inspiration on [F] me since I was a young [Gb] boy.
[B] [F] It taught me an awful lot about how I was going to sing.
When I got famous, [Bb] I ain't never got famous yet.
I'm working.
Rewinding [Eb] taught me when I was [Bb] young.

[E]
All the lies I know, they'll tell me.
And the time that they will sell me,
[Gb] For a while, I'll be the biggest man [B] in town.
[E] Back at home, in bed she's crying,
For her love for me is dying.
[A]
And she'll pray I make it safely through [E] the night.
[B] When the morning sun starts showing to [A] her bedside,
I'll be going, [E]
and I'm hoping,
While [B] I [Abm] face the [E] morning [A] light.
[E]
And I'll make promises, promises to change,
[Ab] I'll make her promises.
I swear I'll read her rage, [A] and I'll start giving.
All the love she needs, if [B] only she could stay.
[A] [B] [E] Once again, she'll reassure me,
And I [B] believe her [E] love will cure me.
[A] And I'll fall asleep
[A] with tears [E] on my face.
And I know she's just sad,
And her love can't last forever.
[Gb] Someday soon, I know she'll leave without [B] a kiss.
Her broken [E] promises will tear [B] her dreams apart.
Not just [Ab] token promises,
Someday break her heart, and [A] for the last time,
She'll hold me when I cry, and [B] while [Gb] I sleep,
[A] She'll quietly [Db] say, She'll say,
[B]
Good [C] night.
