(Merle Haggard)

Always wanting you but never having you

Makes it hard to face tomorrow cause I know I'll wake up wanting you again

Always loving you ah but never touching you

Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand



I'd been better off if I turned away and never looked at you the second time

Cause I really had my life all together till your eyes met mine

And there I saw you yearning and the feeling frost the room that you felt for me

Wish I'd had a way of knowin' that the things we had in mind could never be

Always wanting you...

[ steel ]

Always loving you ah but never touching you

Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand
