I just heard the saddest news somebody's back in town And I know just what he's gonna do He'll pick up what he left off his last time around Oh how it hurts to keep on losin' you Somebody's back in town to steal your love from me The fear I've had so long is now reality The only chance I have is when he throws you down My chance is gone somebody's back in town [ Steel - fiddle ] I know I can't change your ways we've been through that before His trap is set and you will walk right in He only wants a fly by night affair and nothing more And you're just fool enough to fall again Somebody's back in town why can't he stay away You should know he never loved you anyway He'll let you live a little then he'll throw you down Sad news today somebody's back in town My chance is gone somebody's back in town
