~Favorite Breakup Song~

Don't Think Twice, It's Alright - Bob Dylan

Well, it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe

If you don't know by now
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe

It'll never do, somehow

When your rooster crows at the break of dawn

Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on

But don't think twice, it's all right

And it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
That light I never knowed

An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road

But I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay

We never did too much talkin' anyway
But don't think twice, it's all right

So it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal

Like you never did before
And it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal

I can't hear you anymore

I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin', walkin' down the road,

I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul

But don't think twice, it's all right

So long, honey, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell

Goodbye's too good a word, babe
So I'll just say fare thee well

I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You coulda done better but I don't mind

You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right

Hit the road Jack!

Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more. (What you say?)
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.

Oh! Woman, oh woman, don't treat me so mean,
You're the meanest old woman that I've ever seen.

I guess if you said so
I'd have to pack my things and go. (That's right)

Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.

Now baby, listen baby, don't-a treat me this-a way
Cause I'll be back on my feet some day.

Don't care if you do 'cause it's understood

You ain't got no money you just ain't no good.

Well, I guess if you say so
I have to pack my things and go. (That's right)

Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more.
Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more.

Don't you come back no more.
(What you say)

Don't you come back no more
(Come on baby)
Don't you come back no more

Amarillo by morning George Strait

Amarillo by morning, up from San Antone.
Everything that I've got is just what I've got on.
When that sun is high in that Texas sky

I'll be bucking it to county fair.
Amarillo by morning, Amarillo I'll be there.

They took my saddle in Houston, broke my leg in Santa Fe.
Lost my wife and a girlfriend somewhere along the way.
Well I'll be looking for eight when they pull that gate,
And I'm hoping that judge ain't blind.
Amarillo by morning, Amarillo's on my mind.

Amarillo by morning, up from San Antone.

Everything that I've got is just what I've got on.
I ain't got a dime, but what I got is mine.
I ain't rich, but Lord I'm free.
Amarillo by morning, Amarillo's where I'll be.
Amarillo by morning, Amarillo's where I'll be.

Sunspot Baby - Bob Seger

She packed up her bags and she took off down the road
Left me here stranded with the bills she owed
She gave me a false address
Took off with my American Express
Sunspot Baby
She sure had me way outguessed

She left me here stranded like a dog out in the yard
Charged up a fortune on my credit card
She used my address and my name
Man that was sure unkind
Sunspot Baby
She sure has a real good time

I looked in Miami
I looked in Negril
The closest I came was a month old bill
I checked the Bahamas and they said she was gone
I can’t understand why she did me so wrong

But she packed up her bags
And she took off down the road
Said she was going to visit sister Flo
She used my address and my name
And man that was sure unkind
Sunspot Baby
I’m gonna catch up sometime
Sure had a real good time

George Jones - LIVE “He Stopped Loving Her Today”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1R2F9f2Cl6Y

[The Duke]

All by myself

Just the song I was about the post, but then I looked up the lyrics and decided it wasn't "breakupy" enough. A personal favorite from forever, though! (BTW, the entire Gold Album is *excellent*)

[2111USMC]

Good one!

[HopeandGlory]

You’re very welcome Miss Fatima . . . fun thread as usual, thank you.

[Redcitizen]

It just says it all doesn’t it. :) Thanks for the hugs.

For those who love R&R, nothing can top (IMHO)

Heart Of Stone

by an obscure 60's group, i think they called themselves 'The Rolling Stones'. Hard-bitten yet moving, it's the one of the best 'breaking up' songs in the R&R genre. I'm gonna look for it on U-Tube right now.

someone busted an isotoner ball

What did they think would happen?

[The Duke]

“I Go Crazy” by Paul Davis comes to mind.

Thanks FortWorthPatriot (((((Hugs)))))

Oops. That’s not a breakup song.

He said I’ll love you ‘til I die
She told him you’ll forget in time
As the years went slowly by
She still preyed upon his mind

He kept her picture on his wall
Went half crazy now and then
He still loved her through it all
Hoping she’d come back again

Kept some letters by his bed
Dated 1962
He had underlined in red
Every single I love you

I went to see him just today
Oh but I didn’t see no tears
All dressed up to go away
First time I’d seen him smile in years

(Chorus)
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they’ll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

(Spoken)
You know she came to see him one last time
Oh and we all wondered if she would
And it kept running through my mind
This time he’s over her for good

(Repeat Chorus)

[Erasmus]

“They caught my baby makin’ booze but you know I love her still.”

[Erasmus]

“I left her behind
behind me.”
