WAY THAT YOU'RE LIVING (IS BREAKING MY HEART)
(Jimmy Swan)

Ernest Tubb - 1963

Also recorded by: Jimmy Swan


In the evening at sundown is where I start to cry
When the sweet memories of you keep drifting by
I'm alone and forsaken you've torn me apart
For the way that you're livin’ is breakin’ my heart

I can't go on living your cruel wicked ways
Many times I have prayed Lord take me away
That’s why in the evening we seem so far apart
For the way that you're living is breaking my heart

Ah Buddy now…
INSTRUMENTALS – steel guitar

Night after night I cry myself to sleep
While you’re cheatin' like a tramp on the street
My head now is bowed you've torn me apart 
For the way that you're living is breakin’ my heart

There's a new day tomorrow but I can't plainly see
There'll be no sunshine for you and for me
T'would be better for us both to go ahead and part
For the way that you're living is breaking my heart
