This Song Is For You Lyrics

Merle Haggard

This song is for you, you know who you are I won't embarrass you for callin' out your name You're here every night, several night of drinks Wearin' your superficial smile
You still wear the wedding band and you left hard work in hand For a memory of a man who's chain and bound Lord knows you need a man and an understandin' hand Before you run completely out of love
You can't stay in love with a memory You can't stay in love with a dream Yet you've fallen in love with the picture on the wall The sad part is that the picture is not of me
That cold December day, they took her man away Never dreamin' of a gentle heart they've grown Now she waits by the phone, she waits there all alone But the only one who ever calls is me
Now I'm a prisoner of a slave to one way love And I'd wish they let him go so I'd be free Break this chains that bind and release this heart of mine Before I run completely out of love
You can't stay in love with memory You can't fall in love with a dream Yet you've fallen in love with the picture on the wall The sad part is that the picture is not of me
