Artist: Billy Burnette Album: Coming Home (1993) Title: This Love (ain't Long For This World)
Lyrics This Love (ain't Long For This World)You know I love my jukebox
And I love my country songs
And I love to dance to a honky tonk band
All night long
But lately we've been doin' it every night
Seen the sun come up too many times
And that ain't right
Baby all I'm tryin' to tell you
If we're not careful
This love ain't long for this world
If we don't get it back on the right track
And get on outta here girl
'Cause in this old honky tonk lucky bar
Got to get away from where the whiskey flows
Or this love ain't long for this world
You know I ain't no angel
I never said I was
But lately I hear those devil's footsteps
Gettin' too close to us
Can't you see the lightning can't you hear the thunder
When your nights are crazy and your days are numbered
So read the signs
Baby all I'm tryin' to tell you
If we're not careful
This love ain't long for this world
If we don't get it back on the right track
And get on outta here girl
'Cause in this old honky tonk lucky bar
Got to get away from where the whiskey flows
Or this love ain't long for this world
We gotta get on out to the country
I'll take you to Uncle Jessie's farm
Where it's just clean livin' no smoke filled breathin'
No neon sign on the bar
Baby all I'm tryin' to tell you
If we're not careful
This love ain't long for this world
If we don't get it back on the right track
And get on outta here girl
'Cause in this old honky tonk lucky bar
Got to get away from where the whiskey flows
Or this love ain't long for this world
This love ain't got long for this world |
