From the recording That'd Be Hank
Shocked by Hank’s sudden demise, Audrey doesn’t know if her strongest emotion is anger, guilt, grief or shame.
Lyrics
You tossed your ring upon our bed
Stroked Junior’s cheek and drove away
We screamed our hearts to shreds
And had to give up the charade
You warned me when you left
That without our love, you’d die
Pangs of guilt invade my chest
But it’s too late to cry
Whispers round the Nashville scene
A girl is heavy with your child
But you married Billie Jean
Younger, prettier and wild
Heard you hired yourself a shrink
To get you sobered up and dry
Now we’re drowning in spilled milk
But it’s too late to cry
Now I’m kneeling at the rail
With your momma and your bride
And the pregnant Bobby Jett
And thousands more beside
Slowly streaming past
The open casket where you lie
My tears are flowing free at last
But it’s too late to cry
My tears are flowing free at last
But it’s too late to cry
