Oh, I used to wish I was a hard line taker ... and they`d say, "Six to one a half dozen`ll break her", `till I fell in love with a young man who sang the blues Oh, bless my daddy, he warned me well He`d whisper in my ear and say, "Now look out, gal ... there`s always a ne`er do well gonna call you the fool"
(chorus) He said, "you`ll never learn to fish on a borrowed line you`ll never learn to write if you`re walkin` `round cryin` and it`s a pity that you`re lover died young, but ... you`ll never get tired of livin` alone". So, now I dream of the lover that I don`t know It`s safer this way `cuz I don`t have to go ... oh, and he won`t come ... so nobody goes away Sometimes I wish for the warmth of his hand take a look in these eyes and understand I`m just a little too old to be a-learnin` the rules of the game
(repeat chorus)
Oh, maybe I could take him to Mexico We`d kick our heels in the warm cloudy gulf He`d sing a song about the weather in the Poconos; this lover that I don`t know Then two hearts would pound `stead of one in the night I`d learn to fish with my own line catch my dream and hope that line would hold
(repeat chorus)
No, I never get tired of livin` alone Sometimes my feet get cold ... when I`m livin` alone ...
