Every night you go to bed crying
There's nothing left to do when love is dying
So before the whole world knows, how we're hurting
Don't you think it's time we pull the curtains'

So many times, I talked you out of leaving
And so many times you've tried to fight the feeling
I guess we've tried and failed once too often
Now the suitcase down the hallway does the talking

That just about does it, don't it
That'll just about kill it, won't it
Maybe we should call a truce
We could but what's the use
That just about does it, don't it

It's sad to think that words could come between us
And what I said, God knows I didn't mean it
It's time we realize this time it's over
It's tearing us apart to stay together

And that just about does it, don't it
That'll just about kill it, won't it
Maybe we should call a truce
We could, but what's the use
That just about does it, don't it

Maybe we should call a truce
We could, but what's the use
That just about does it, don't it, don't it

Vern Gosdin

Vern Gosdin (August 5, 1934 – April 28, 2009) was an American country music singer. He idolized The Louvin Brothers and The Blue Sky Boys as a young man and sang in a gospel quartet called The Gosdin Brothers. An inheritor of the soulful honky tonk style of Lefty Frizzell and Merle Haggard, Gosdin was nicknamed The Voice by his peers. He had 19 top-ten solo hits on the Country music charts from the late 1970s through the early 1990s. Three of these hits went to number one: "I Can Tell By the Way You Dance (You're Gonna Love Me Tonight)", "Set 'Em Up Joe" and "I'm Still Crazy". more »
