(Feat. Patty Loveless)

I've been a hard man, been a lonely man
Been around the world and back again
My kind of freedom was always leavin'
And I thought hearts were just for stealin'

Then I saw the light in your eyes this mornin'
And somehow, I knew
I was gonna take a chance with you
Try to see this through
So I'll be hopin' you

Don't let me down
Love, don't let me down

Been on the bad side on a lot of goodbyes
Sometimes, it felt like I was out of tears to cry
So for my own sake, I put my heart away
Thought I'd try again some sunny day

Then I saw the light in your eyes this mornin'
And somehow, I knew
I was gonna take a chance with you
Try to see this through
So I'll be hopin' you

Don't let me down
Love, don't let me down

Let's make a promise we can believe in tonight
Give me your heart, and I'll give you mine

Don't let me down

Love, don't let me down

Love, don't let me down
(Been a hard man, been a lonely man
Been around the world and back again)
Don't let me down
(Been on the bad side on a lot of goodbyes)
Oh, love, don't let me down
No, love, don't let me down
