Ev'rything I say ev'ything that's happening

You don't care if it rains or shines
Long as you know what's in goin' down at the local rodeo

Well, I'm brown as brown can be.
Don't let it get on me.
You talk about money, honey
And then you pray child.
But I don't wanna be alone no more.

Don't let it break so fast.
Think about all you have
And let it last.
I can't take no more teardrops from you,
But that don't give you no right to shout

Hardache to hard-ache (hardache to hardache)
Lover to lover (lover to lover)
Woman to woman (woman to woman)
