YOU LOVE THE GROUND I WALK ON

RECORDED BY WAYLON JENNINGS



I work so hard to win myself a place in life

And leave behind the slums and poverty

Now I have wealth a fancy home a pretty wife

She loves the ground I walk on but she don't love me

You like the places that I take you don't you girl

At last you're where you've always longed to be

You're very much at home here in this kind of world

You love the ground I walk on but you don't love me

And I know just what would happen if there came a dawn

That I was broken down and out I'd reach and you'd be gone

Don't worry girl that kind of dawn will never come

You'll always have the things you want from me

But it's so sad to know that when we're all alone

You love the ground I walk on but she don't love me

You love the ground I walk on but she don't love me
