Gene Watson - The Great Divide Lyrics

It's time for us to settle up and go our separate ways
No one takes the blame but we both have to pay
Everything that once was ours now is yours or mine
I guess we finally made it across the great divide

And it sure hurts like hell to see you walk away
And there's nothin' I can do to make you want to stay
No one but you and I can know how hard we tried
There's no turnin' back, we've crossed the great divide

Now we're standing in the doorway of a house we made a home
And it seems so cold and empty now that all our love is gone
We take one last look together before we say goodbye
Since we finally made it across the great divide

And it sure hurts like hell to see you walk away

And there's nothin' I can do to make you want to stay
No one but you and I can know how hard we tried
There's no turnin' back, we've crossed the great divide
There's just no turnin' back, we've crossed the great divide

Is there a better singer on this planet.....i didn't think so...
Daniel Jones

That would be nice..for the old country..but I once was told by a guy when I was a kid I was with the guy that took care of be . growing up may he rest in peace. The guy came out the bar he was singing be in the bar before he came outside..he looked down at me and said who is going to feel thier shoes..then a short time later after I talked to him was just a kid..he said looking at me the outlaw In Jesse's dreams.good question WHO IS GOING TO FEEL THIER SHOES.because the country today sucks some of it anyway..and I'm a young man.

This is one of Gene Watson's greatest songs of all time. I'm surprised this was not a top 5 hit for him!
