Lyrics

The first good look I got of you It stopped me in my tracks With curly hair and eyes so blue There weren’t no looking back There weren’t no looking back You courted me in summer time When heat filled up the sky You promised you’d be loving me Until the day you died Until the day you died You’re the reason I’m aching You’re the reason I can’t go home You glittered like a diamond in that two-bit town You’re the reason I’m all alone You’re the reason I’m all alone My back upon the piney groundI laid my secrets bareYou took everything I had to giveThen laughing left me thereYou left me lying thereI gathered up my scattered clothesAnd vowed I would not weepI swore to meet you face to faceAnd your promise you would keepThat promise you would keep You’re the reason I’m achingYou’re the reason I can’t go homeYou glittered like a diamond in that two-bit townYou’re the reason I’m all aloneYou’re the reason I’m all alone The revolver from my father’s deskI took it into townYou were betting on a losing handWhen I aimed and shot you downI aimed and shot you downThe prison doors will open soonAnd the noose will hold me tightBut the day you threw away my loveWas the day you had to dieThe day you had to die You’re the reason I’m achingYou’re the reason I can’t go homeYou glittered like a diamond in that two-bit townYou’re the reason I’m all aloneYou’re the reason I’m all alone
