"You're Not My Same Sweet Baby" lyrics - WAYLON JENNINGS

You're not my same sweet baby lady
You're not the same baby I knew
The world is all wrong girl and I'm not the man
Who can change it for you
I'll just be packing my bags and silently go.

What's the good in pretending
And watching it drag on and on
The good is in ending it while there's the time left
To say that your mind is your own.

You're not my same sweet baby lady
Now the bright lights faded they've taken the baby from you
Girl I'm not saying my bubbles so great
That hard times won't break that too
I'll just be packing my bags and silently go.

[Instrumental]

What's the good in pretending
And watching it drag on and on
The good is in ending it while there's the time left
To say that your mind is your own.

You're not my same sweet baby lady
Girl I'm not saying I haven't done some changing too
So please stop your cryin' you know I'm not tryin'
To lay all the blame off on you
I'll just be packing my bags and silently go.

[Instrumental]

The world is all wrong girl and I'm not the man
Who can change it for you...
