JUST BEFORE YOU..

by Ruth Ann Christopher - Not entered

You think you have yourself a winner...
  well gal.. you got that right...
but if you're thinking.. of holding on to him...
  then.. you better be holding on tight...

because I went down that road you're going down...
  and it's a rough road to go...
and you're going to go through hell trying to make it...
  and I ought to know...

because.. I stood in those shoes you're standing in...
  and what I'm saying is true...
I went down that road you're going down.. 
  just before you...

You say he treats you like a queen...
  well.. that's about the way it starts...
but time is going to be changing that...
  leaving you a broken heart...

and I know what I'm talking about...
  because.. I been through it all...
so you better be hanging on real tight...
  because you're going to take a hell of a fall...

because I've been down that road you're going down...
  and it's a rough road to go...
and you're going to go through hell trying to make it...
  I ought to know...

because I walked in those shoes you're walking in...
  and what I'm saying is true...
I went down that road you're going down...
   just before you...
