Swingin Doors - Merle Haggard

Right up to my heart

You come in for a while but you don’t stay

And I’ve come to realize

That your promises are lies

To buy you time when you want to get away

You must think my heart has swingin' doors

The way that you keep comin' back and forth

I can feel it’s getting close to closing time

And I won’t be leavin' my heart open any more

Well, I’ve heard you’re back in town

I suppose you’ll come around

When nights are cold and friends are hard to find

You always seem to wait’Til all the pieces are in place

Then you walk back in and rearrange my life

You must think my heart has swingin' doors

The way that you keep comin' back and forth

I can feel it’s getting close to closing time

And I won’t be leavin' my heart open any more

So if you’re walking down my street just keep on walking by

I’m hangin' out a sign sayin' this well has run dry

You must think my heart has swingin' doors

The way that you keep comin' back and forth

I can feel it’s getting close to closing time

And I won’t be leavin' my heart open any more
