Tears So Strong - Nashville Cast/Chris Carmack

Written by：Jim Lauderdale

Well some midnights

When the lightning strikes

And it wakes me

I hear the lover's cry

Coming from the sky

And it takes me

To where the culverts slide

And the gators crawl

They don't run from tears so strong

It's pouring down burnin' up the ground

As they're fallin'

Daddy told me once

You'd better listen son

Start believin'

You might think you're tough

But it ain't enough

When she's leavin'

Someday you're gonna cry

Then tears so strong

Gonna wash them tattoos off your arms

Gonna break it down it's a lonely sound

As they're fallin'

Tears so strong

What went wrong

What's done is done

I got a heavy one

As they're fallin'

Tears so strong

Can't hold on

Until the kingdom comes

I'm countin' every one

As they're fallin'

I'll never see you again

Or breathe her fire

Only she could dry

These tears of mine

Well I've gotta make sense

Of the time that's left

In a hurry

I'm going blind

'Cause I'm always cryin'

And it's blurry

Well there's nothin' worse

Than these tears so strong

It'd rust a knife through a voodoo doll

It's pourin' down burnin' up the ground

As they're fallin'

Tears so strong

What went wrong

What's done is done

I feel it everyone

As they're fallin'

Tears so strong

Can't hold on

Until the kingdom comes

I'm countin' every one

As they're fallin'

I'll never see her again

Or breathe her fire

Only she could dry

These tears of mine
