What is it that brings you to this part of town
Curiosity, conscience or fate?
I know it's not love, 'cause I once gave you love
And all you showed me was the gate
I got a feeling you've come back to just rub it in
And to really put me in my place
You've already put big old tears in my eyes
Must you throw dirt in my face?
Must you keep telling me that you've got a new love?
I don't need you to remind me
Must you keep telling me how I look so lonely
And my better days are behind me?
Must you keep showing me pictures of him
And boasting of his warm embrace?
You've already put big old tears in my eyes
Must you throw dirt in my face?
You've already left me and broken my heart
Told me how much you don't want me
Believe me, I'm happier when we're apart
Why must you come back now to haunt me?
Must you keep showing me pictures of him
And boasting of his warm embrace?
You've already put big old tears in my eyes
Must you throw dirt in my face?
Oh, you've already put big old tears in my eyes
Must you throw dirt in my face?
Oh...
Must you throw dirt in my face?

“"I knew of the Louvin Brothers through Gram Parsons and The Byrds, like Stones and Zeppelin fans checked out Howlin' Wolf. They're from Alabama and made these wonderful harmony records, high nasal harmonies straight out of bluegrass."” — Elvis writing in Q Magazine, June 1995.
