Lyrics

YOU'VE NEVER SEEN ME CRY
(Butch Hancock)

The windmills and the water tanks
All stand on solid ground
The country mailman mutters
As he motors into town
The sunlight came, the sunlight went
The stars came out to see
The way I laughed and the way I cried
At the way you treated me

CHORUS
The ocean, babe, is watered down
And these plains are high and dry
And though you've seen your share of dreams
You've never seen me cry

The windshield and the radio
play sadly through the night
And a crazy blazin' falling star
Just passed me on the right
Tail lights down the highway
Fade low and out of sight
And that farmer's dog can only bark
But this cold north wind can bite

The ocean, babe, is watered down
But these plains are high and dry
And though you've seen your share of dreams
You've never seen me cry

Well, the windbreaks and the watersheds
They're growing old this year
And the moon breaks in a brand new song
As I break into tears
I heard that all good things must end
They say what's done is done
And I guess I should be flyin'
Cause it's killing me to run
