Put Me On


 
I know that we won't ride off in the sunset
And you know something better waits for you
I shoulda turned away the day that we met
When they all said you'd never be true
 
Tonight I see you're in the dress I bought you
You know I'm here but you won't look my way
I hate to say I never had it better
Than when you put me on a summer day
 
Put me on, one more evening
Put me on, you sure know just how to
And I'll be strong when you're leaving
And I promise I won't say I love you
 
I know I should find another barroom
Staying here is keeping me blue
But every now and then you come up empty
And I just want to be there when you do
 
Put me on, one more evening
Put me on, you sure know just how to
And I'll be strong when you're leaving
And I promise I won't say I love you 
And I promise I won't say I love you
