"Way of the Whippoorwill"
Ronnie Bowman, Jenee Fleenor

Verse1:
The morning breaks
Another heartbreak haze
A coffee cup of regrets
My last cigarette
Like the world goes round the sun goes down
I ain’t got no choice
It’s a melody in a summer breeze
Then I hear your voice

Chorus:
Ain’t it the way of the whippoorwill
Singing a song ‘bout the way I feel
Cryin’ lonesome all alone
Reminding me he’s gone
Fallin’ apart with a broken heart that’ll never heal
Ain’t it the way of the whippoorwill

Verse 2:
The pictures on the wall
Tell the story of it all
When time stood still
When love was really real
The memories the broken dreams make the teardrops start
A lonely tune and a risin’ moon’s just a prelude to the dark

Chorus:
Ain’t it the way of the whippoorwill
Singing a song ‘bout the way I feel
Cryin’ lonesome all alone
Reminding me he’s gone
Fallin’ apart with a broken heart that’ll never heal
Ain’t it the way of the whippoorwill
