No Longer a Sweetheart of Mine

Lyrics: Reno, Smiley, Swift
Music: Reno, Smiley, Swift

Covered by the David Nelson Band in 2019

We are saying goodbye dear forever
I'm leaving your false love behind
Every promise that you made has been broken
You're no longer a sweetheart of mine

From a bottle to a ride out in the moonlight
In the arms of the first man you see
Another victim added to your list dear
You're no longer a sweetheart to me

Go back to the bar down the street dear
And stay with your honky tonk kind
Go back to the life you've been livin'
You're no longer a sweetheart of mine

From a bottle to a ride out in the moonlight
In the arms of the first man you see
Another victim added to your list dear
You're no longer a sweetheart to me

Go back to the bar down the street dear
And stay with your honky tonk kind
Go back to the life you've been livin'
You're no longer a sweetheart of mine

The original Dillard & Clark version has another verse:
I wanted someone true and faithful
For that's the way it had to be
You wanted your honky tonk love dear
You're no longer a sweetheart to me
