Hold Her When She Cries

She's holdin tight to a bottle
 She sure is looking blue
 And all the angels who surround him
 Well, hell, that's nothin' new
 He don't give a damn
 How he does her wrong
 And her eyes are on the floor
 When he sings those cheatin' songs
 Well, it's the same old story everynight
 And, Lord, it's plain to see
 That the whiskey took the place
 Yeah, the whiskey took the place
 Where her pride used to be
 Oh, I wish she'd let me be the one
 To hold her when she cries
 And I'd pick up the pieces
 Lord, she's gonna fall apart tonight
 Oh, he don't give a damn
 He's gonna cheat and he's gonna lie
 And I wish she'd let me hold her
 Hold her when she cries
 Well, the years ain't been kind to him
 But, hell, he ain't changed his ways
 And she's a good hearted woman
 Don't even make the set these days
 Well, she finally up and left him
 Lord, after all this time
 And that good hearted woman
 I finally made her mine
 Oh, I wish she'd let me be the one
 To hold her when she cries
 And I'd pick up the pieces
 Lord, she's gonna fall apart tonight
 Oh, he don't give a damn
 He's still gonna cheat and he's gonna lie
 And I wish she'd let me hold her
 Hold her when she cries
 Hell, I wish she'd let me hold her
 Hold her tonight
