False-Hearted LoverIn the heat of the night 'neath the town hall light My love was seen in the arms of another Clutchin' at her coat and a sweetheart's note Life in secret, lies, and under covers When she made it back home She was only there alone I was already gone, gone, gone By the moon's dyin' bones And the wicked wind's moan If you see her tell my false-hearted lover That my love for her has turned to stone Under neon blue signs at the whiskey five and dime He was seen with another all the lay long night Drinkin' and carryin' on 'til the early, early dawn Vows broken by the dashboard light Then sneaking back home Thinkin' his cover wasn't blown But she's already gone, gone, gone By the moon's dyin' sight And the wicked wind's fright If you see him tell her false-hearted lover That her love for him has turned to stone False-Hearted lover Why you make it sad and blue? And leave 'em cryin' wonderin' what to do False-Hearted lover Why you do it that way, and all the games you play Make 'em pick it up on their way On the highways that I roam, I'm workin' all alone Sellin' on the overnight trail A lonely summer's night, Two people caught in each other's eyes No one pickin' up the phone or the email So I'm speedin' back home To make up for the time alone But she's already gone, gone, gone By the moon's dyin' veil And the wicked wind's wail I see that I'm a false-hearted lover And my foolish heart turns to stone |
