Ernest Tubb - I'll Step Aside Lyrics

I'll step aside for you if you don't want me I'll step aside for you if you don't care

I'm not the one to cling to a broken promise

I'll step aside for for someone else somewhere

I'll step aside for you if you don't want me I'll step aside for you and you alone

And when I'm gone just promise you'll remember

That I was once your darling all you own

Before you go please answer this last question

As you gave them too much tear dimmed eyes

Cannot be true you never cared about me

And all those words I treasured were just lie
