Texty: Porter Wagoner. Be Glad You Ain't Me.

If you've never laid awake at night and prayed to be set free
From the chains that bind a broken heart, be glad that you ain't me
If you've never walked the lonely streets in search for company
Someone to tell your troubles to, be glad that you ain't me

Be glad your heart has never known the pain that I've been through
The pain of loving someone who never will love you
If the devil never haunts your sleep till you beg to be set free
Just put yourself in my place friend, be glad that you ain't me

If you think that you've got troubles and you're wantin' sympathy
Just listen my story friend and be glad that you ain't me
If you've never laid awake at night and prayed to be set free
From the chains that bind a broken heart, be glad that you ain't me

If you never saw a love go wrong because of jealousy
Just put yourself in my place friend, be glad that you ain't me
Be glad your eyes have never cried until they couldn't see
Be glad that your heart has never wanted a love that couldn't be

If you never saw a love go wrong because of jealousy
Just put yourself in my place friend, be glad that you ain't me
