If You Ever Stop Loving Me

(album: You Do Your Thing - 2004)

My old man's backhand used to land,
Hard on the side of my head.
I just learned to stay out of his way.
There's been street fights, blue lights,
Long nights with the world sitting on my chest:
It just showed me how much I could take.
Hard times, bad luck.
Sometimes, life sucks.

That's all right, I'm OK.
It ain't nothing but another day.
But only God knows where I'd be,
If you ever stopped loving me.

The bank man, the boss man, the lawman,
All trying to get their hands on me.
And I ain't even done a danged thing wrong.
I've been waylaid, freight-trained, short-changed,
By bigger an' badder men.
An' all I got to say is: "Bring it on."
Hard rain, rough road,
So my life goes.

That's all right, I'm OK.
It ain't nothing but another day.
But only God knows where I'd be,
If you ever stopped loving me.

I need you,
Gotta have you,
In my life, on my side,
Every day I'm alive,
Every night when I'm greedy an' needing,
You!

Instrumental break.

That's all right, I'm OK.
It ain't nothing but another day.
But only God knows where I'd be,
If you ever stopped loving me.

It ain't nothing but another day.
But only God knows where I'd be,
If you ever stopped loving me.

Baby, never stop loving me.

Ah, just see, what your loving does to me.
