Well I saw a man today and he looked like you And I found myself staring like a fool   'Til he turned and I had to look away 'Cause he was just a statue made of clay   Statues made of clay so pretty and so cheaply made But they don't weather well Like the strong granite stone They crumble and they leave you all alone          Now I've been on the road a country singer with a band Playing all the honky-tonks and the one-night stands But I think about you when you're far away And this road seems like a statue made of clay   Statues made of clay so pretty and so cheaply made But they don't weather well Like the strong granite stone They crumble and they leave you all alone Now you and I we've been through the hardest times There've been lonely nights and days without a dime But my love for you grows stronger day by day 'Cause you're not just a statue made of clay   Statues made of clay so pretty and so cheaply made But they don't weather well Like the strong granite stone They crumble and they leave you all alone Outro:
