Faron Young performs "Crutches"live on Hee Haw 1979.

Faron Young (February 25, 1932 – December 10, 1996) was an American country music singer and songwriter from the early 1950s into the mid-1980s and one of its most successful and colorful stars. Hits including "If You Ain't Lovin' (You Ain't Livin')" and "Live Fast, Love Hard, Die Young" marked him as a honky-tonk singer in sound and personal style; and his chart-topping singles "Hello Walls" and "It's Four in the Morning" showed his versatility as a vocalist. Known as the Hillbilly Heartthrob, and following a movie role, the Young Sheriff, Young's singles reliably charted for more than 30 years. He committed suicide in 1996. Young is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Faron Young Crutches lyrics

Honey, I'm lonely.  I miss you so much!

I can hardly believe that you are gone

Bartender pour me a tall pair of crutches

And maybe, then I can go home

 

Each night I stopped in at the corner bar

The unhappy hour is on

A singer is singing sad songs with guitar

Two for the price of one.

 

 Bottles of courage wait back on the bar

To pour me a double or two

Crutches to lean on that's all that they are

While I learn to walk without you.

 

Honey, I'm lonely.  I miss you so much!

I can hardly believe that you are gone

Bartender pour me a tall pair of crutches

And maybe, then I can go home

 

There is love on the rock all around the bar

Of lonely face women and men

The whiskey talks lout while the sad guitar

Tells of what might have been

Still it is the happiest unhappy hour

I spend everday since she's gone

Outside that door there's still

Twenty Three more long unhappy hours alone.
