Well, I just can't keep from crying sometimes
Well, I just can't keep from crying sometimes
When my heart is filled with sorrow and my eyes are filled with tears
I just can't keep from crying sometimes
My mother often told me, don’t you throw your life away
Nothing is your own, nothing’s here to stay
But I'm on the King's Highway, yes I'm on the King's Highway
I just can't keep from crying sometimes
No I just can't keep from crying sometimes
Well, I just can't keep from crying sometimes
When my heart is full of sorrow and my eyes are filled with tears
I just can't keep from crying sometimes
Well it hurt when she first left me, I grieved a little while
But I said it did not matter, and I hid behind a smile
But now that I am older, I’m ashamed of what I told her
I just can't keep from crying sometimes
No I just can't keep from crying sometimes
Well, I just can't keep from crying sometimes
When my heart is full of sorrow and my eyes are filled with tears
I just can't keep from crying sometimes
