We live in two different worlds dear that's why we're so far apart
You made your world out of vows that were broken I built the world in my heart
Everyone here tried to warn me you were just playing a game
I told them all we were meant for each other and our two worlds were the same
We live in two different worlds dear...
[ guitar - fiddle ]
We live in two different worlds dear...

I feel your gentle fingers reaching out to search the pockets of my mind
I watch your eyes to see what they will say to all the need you're gonna find
Will I be welcome when I reach for you
Will you grow soft and say you want me too
Baby walk unashamed with me out into the night
Don't be afraid to feel anything it's all right
Love is waiting there for us to take let's take it now I'll show you how
Pa pa pa pa pa pa...
Baby walk unashamed with me...
Pa pa pa pa pa pa...

[ instrumental ]

She is deliciously tall sort of a long girl
She is delightfully small sort of a song girl
She freely admits to the world that she was a wrong girl
That's nothing compare to the fact that she is a gone girl
Gone like a knock on the door gone with yesterday and before
Gone with the wind for ever more
She'd never laid claim to the fact that she was a strong girl
So why should I loudly proclaim she was a wrong girl
I'd rather think of her name as some sort of song girl
And think poetical things to think of my gone girl
Gone like a knock on the door...
La la la la la...

People say I'm acting kinda strange my friends all tell me how I've changed
I'm laughing and dancing singing happy songs just joking and carrying on
They say they see a change in me I'm not the guy I used to be
I carry a smile cause I'm not sad and lonely
I got someone who cares and she's calling me her honey
She's sweet she's kind and she's mine love comes from her eyes all the time
Her lips are as sweet as the cool red wine she's sweet and she's kind and she's mine
[ steel ]
My world is turning again loneliness is just a plave I've been
I've got a little lady who's soft as a baby
And we're so much in love it drives me half crazy
She's sweet she's kind and she's mine...
She's sweet and she's kind and she's mine

There's a jukebox in my ear playing so loud I can hardly hear
And it's a telling a story bout a girl like you
And each selection that I make tells me how my heart will break
For falling in love with a girl like you
Well it's just an old machine without a heart and oh so mean
Says I probably spend my whole life feeling blue
So I'll just put in one more dime and play that same song one more time
Cause I want to hear about a girl like you
[ steel ]
Well it's just an old machine without a heart and oh so mean
Says I probably spend my whole life feeling blue
I guess that I should go on home but I can't stand to be alone
Cause I'll always dream about a girl like you

A glamour of the gay night life has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquor flow
Where you wait to be anybody's baby and give off the only love you'll ever know
It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels
I might have known you'd never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you and went back to the wild side of life
[ dobro - guitar ]
I didn't know God made honky tonk angels...
And went back to the wild side of life

I wanna go back to the island where the shrimp boats tie up to the pilin'
Give me oysters and beer for dinner every day of the year
And I'll feel fine I'll feel fine
Cause I wanna be there I wanna go back down and lie beside the sea there
With a tin cup for a chalice fill it up with apple wine
And I'm chewin' on a honeysuckle vine
Oh the sun goes slidin' cross the water and sailboats are searchin' for the breeze
Yeah salt air it ain't thin I can stick right to your skin
And make you feel fine it makes you feel fine
I wanna be there I wanna go back down and get high by the sea there
With a tin cup for a chalice fill it up with apple wine
And I'm chewin' on a honeysuckle vine
And now you heard my strange proposal get that pack gear up and let's move
I wanna be there before the day tries to slip away
And leave us behind I've made up my mind
And I wanna be there I wanna go back down and die beside the sea there
With a tin cup for a chalice fill it up with apple wine
And I'm chewin' on a honeysuckle vine
Yeah w a tin cup for a chalice fill it up with apple wine
And I'm chewin' on a honeysuckle vine

There was a time when I thought of no other and we sang our own love's refrain
Our hearts beat as one while we had our fun but time changes everything
When you left me my poor heart was broken our romance seemed all in vain
I guess it was true for me and for you but time changes everything
[ guitar ]
You can change the words to an old song rearrange it and make it swing
I thought nothing could stop me from loving you but time changes everything
So goodluck to you may God bless you you'll go your way and I will go mine
I won't say that I will love again cause time changes everything
There was a time when I thought of no other and we sang our own love's refrain
Our hearts beat as one while we had our fun but time changes everything
[ fiddle - piano - guitar - mandolin ]
There was a time when I thought of no other...

This heart of mine belongs to you take care of it be kind
For I must go where you may lead the eyes of love are blind
I may not see the things that I should see the danger there might be in store
And I may do just what I shouldn't do because I'm looking through the eyes of love
My love is blind
It's true I know that eyes of love might dim the view for me
The eyes of love can see so much that other eyes don't see
A bluer sky the sparkle in your eyes all make me realize I'm yours
I see with you a world of dreams come true
Because I'm looking through the eyes of love
Don let me down

Ring ring telephone ring somebody says baby what you're doin'
I been wonderin' where you've been now and then I think about you and me
Now you swear about things I can't recall it don't matter now at all
Just come on in
Baby we laugh and sing we'll make love let the telephone ring
Ring ring doorbell ring baby come on in got my Haggard on stereo
I'm glad you come around I been feelin' down just talkin' by with Bill and Joe
You know they make good conversation still it ain't no consolation
Cause I've got love
Baby I hear that somebody comes listen doorbell ring
Ring ting golden ring around the sun around your pretty finger
Ring ring voices ring with a happy tune anybody could be a singer
The sun comes up across the city I swear you never looked so doggone pretty
Hand in hand we'll stand upon the sand with the preacher man
Let the wedding bells ring

She speaks with the voice of an angel she smiles a heavenly smile
Soft as the warm winds of April and pure as the heart of child
But that's just one of the moods of Mary one of her faces that I see
I know about the moods of Mary cause one of her moods is me
Mary will lie and decive me she can be fickle and cold
She'll offer her lips just to tease me and then give me heartaches untold
But that's just one of the moods of Mary part of her personality
I don't mind the moods of Mary when Mary's in the mood for me
Mary can change like the seasons she can be tender and kind
Then she hurts me without any reason and drives me out of my mind
But I can live with the moods of Mary if that's the way it has to be
I forget the other moods of Mary when Mary's in the mood for me

I tied my bandana I took my pack from the floor
And you were still sleeping as I stood at the door
Once more I was headed to God only knows where
That's when it hit me I was already there
I could ramble a thousand miles or more
I never find the light I've seen in your eyes before
You gave me the freedom to go on my own way
But you gave me much more you gave me the freedom to stay
So I keep on runnin' just to wish on a star
Searching for heaven when I know where you are
Cause life is just empty when you're walking alone
So wherever we're going it's good to be at home
I could ramble...
I could ramble...

I have seen the morning burning golden on the mountain in the skies
Aching with the feeling of the freedom of an eagle when she flies
Turning on the world the way she smiled upon my soul as I lay dying
Healing as the colors in the sunshine and the shadows of her eyes
Waking in the morning to the feeling of her fingers on my skin
Wiping out the traces of the people and the places that I've been
Teaching me that yesterday was something that I never thought of trying
Talking of tomorrow and the money love and time we have to spend
Loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again
Coming close together with that feeling that I've never known before in my time
She ain't ashamed to be a woman or afraid to be a friend
I don't know the answers to the easy way she's opened every door to my mind
But dreaming was as easy as believing it was never gonna end
And loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again

I don't know how to tell her I didn't get that raise in paytoday
And I know how much she wanted that dress in Baker's window
And it breaks my heart to see her have to wait
And cancel all the plans she made to celebrate
But I count on her today with a smile and not a frown
She knows that life has its little ups and downs like ponies on a merry-go-round
And no one grabs a brass ring every time but she don't mind
She wears a gold ring on her finger and it's mine
Those new house plans we've had so long I guess will gather dust another year
And the daffodils are bloomin' that she planted way last fall upon the hill
And over by the gate God knows I hate to say again we'll have to wait
Bet that she'll just take it with a smile and not a frown
She knows that life has its little ups and downs...
She wears a gold ring on her finger and I'm so glad that it's mine

If I'd only come and gone the way I've always done with summer girls before
Shared one night with you and never reached for more
Then we wouldn't face this long and painful rightin' of the wrong
If I'd just come and gone
If I hadn't stayed so long but merely parked my dusty boots oyutside your door
Traced no footprints cross your polished hardwood floor
I'd have left you in your doorway smiling drowsy at the dawn
If I'd just come and gone
And I'd be on a shining silver plane dippin' into Denver
Or a schooner blowing down the Biscayne Bay
And you'd be safely tucked away among the pleasures I'd remember
Stead of laying here beside me fearin' restless thoughts inside me
That might awaken with the breakin' of each new day
If you'd only stopped to read
Cold hard words I cavered on the other bedroom walls
Heard the morning coffee truths I told 'em all
I'd still be on your lips like some unfinished half remembered song
You'd have never loved me if I'd just come and gone

I can't remember what I used to do
Before I met you and before I loved you
I can't remember what I used to do without you
Seems that I loved you since time began
Now that I've lost you gotta learn to live again
But I can't remember what life was like without you
Wonder if I kiss somebody then a long long time ago
Was I happy then oh was I lonely then now I really don't know
I must've been lonely I must've been blue
That's all I've got now since you said we're through
Now I can't remember a thing about life without you
Wonder if I kiss somebody then...

They said in her younger days her beauty was enough to drive men wild
But the hunger in her body then was not the hunger of some lonely child
Like a butterfly in springtime searching every field for loving's sweetest rose
The embrace of many strangers still could not release her from the hold
In the backstreets and the bedrooms all she's found is disappointments bitterly
While the love that she's too often found was not enough to satisfy her needs
She's older than the years she holds and ageing fast with each day passing by
On a downhill run to nowhere cause the hunger never can be satisfied
The reflection in her mirror's not the image she remembers in her mind
Her beauty has been eaten by the hunger and the acid winds of time
She has danced the tune her demons play and payed the piper dearly for his song
Empty now of all her pride but still inside her hunger's just as strong
[ fiddle ]
The reflection in her mirror's...

A long time forgotten are dreams that just fell by the way
And the good life he promised ain't what she's living today
But she never complains of the bad times or the bad things he's done Lord
She just talks about the good times they've had and all the good times to come
Now she's a good hearted woman loves with a good timin' man
And she loves him in spite of his wicked ways that she don't understand
Through teardrops and laughter they'll pass through this world hand in hand Lord
She's a good hearted woman lovin' her good timin' man
[ guitar ]
He likes the night life and bright lights and good timin' friends
When the party's all over she welcomes him back home again
Lord she don't understand him but she does the best that she can Lord
She's a good hearted woman lovin' her good timin' man
She's a good hearted woman...
She's a good hearted woman lovin' her good timin' man

Someday I think I'll take up thinking and try my best to understand
How she could be loving me forever and leaving on the other hand
Last night I thought I'd see a movie to help me get my thoughts in hand
I think what I saw was the western preacher or James Bond on the other hand
I placed the ring upon one finger of her left hand
The one who said she'd stay forever is gone on the other hand
(This is Joe Talbott on the Hawaiian steel guitar)
[ steel ]
But today the world looks brighter I feel just like a brand new man
I love her no longer I don't miss her I'm lying on the other hand
She's gone I know I'm being foolish I should act like a grown up man
But things could get worse I could start crying I do on the other hand
I placed the ring upon one finger...
The one who said she'd stay forever is gone on the other hand

(You know folks started dance to the country music a long time ago
And it all started back in west Texas
When they gathered somebody's house on Saturday night and have a big dance
And the fellow that created the whole thing was Bob Wills
But Bob played the fiddle and fiddled along this time he did it all by himself
But he finally made enough money to hire a band ha ha one guitar
But he didn't stop there because he went on to create and organize
The biggest and most famous western dance band in the whole world
Bob Wills And The Texas Playboys)
[ fiddle ]
As I look at the letters that you wrote to me it's you that I am thinking of
As I read the lines that to me were so sweet I remember our faded love
I miss you darling more and more every day as heaven would miss the stars above
And with every heartbeat I still think of you and remember our faded love
I think of the past and all the treasures we've had
As we watch the mating of the dove
It was in the springtime when we said goodbye I remember our faded love
I miss you darling...
[ fiddle ]

When the princess and the peasants each look back at you the same
When a friend that you had known before can't quite recall your name
When each morning there's a cloudy sky to keep the sun from showin'
Then you know you are your own sometimes that's all that keeps ya goin' mhm
Neath the chimneys and the rooftops of a village safe and sound
No one sees the face nor hears the feet that walk the morning ground
And the stillness of the alleys and the highways keep a growin'
So you know you are your own and that alone will keep ya goin' mhm
[ ac.guitar ]
Through the dampness of the dawn now by the road you walk alone
And you think on days when you had laughed or of a love you'd known
But your head is low avoidin' thoughts of times you'll soon be knowin'
When to say you are your own ain't quite enough to keep ya goin' mhm

Well, T for Texas, T for Tennessee
T for Texas, T for Tennessee
T for Thelma, the gal that made a wreck out of me
If you don't want me mama, you sure don't have to stall, oh no
If you don't want me mama, you sure don't have to stall
‘Cause I can get more women than a passenger train can haul
But I'm going with a woman drinks like cherry wine
I'm going with water drinks like cherry wine
‘Cause its Georgia woman tastes like turpentine
If you don't want me woman sure don't have to stall
If you don't want me woman you sure don't have to stall
For I can get more women than a passenger train can haul
I'd rather drink muddy water and sleep in a hollow log
I'd rather drink muddy water and sleep in a hollow log
Than to be here in Atlanta, get treated like a dirty dog
Women make a fool out of me
If you're ever down in Mobile you can look me up
If you're ever down in Mobile be sure to look me up
And if you're ever in Atlanta tell Lucille to go to hell
Women make a fool out of me
T for Texas, T for Tennessee, lord, lord
T for Texas, T for Tennessee
T for Thelma, the gal that made a wreck out of me

Last night I had a little talk with myself
Just me and me man to man
I said self I think its time
I laid it on the line
And I tried my best to make me understand
Drinking them beers
Shedding them tears
Over a love that’s gone cold
Wasting time
Yours and mine
And wasted time can make a man grow old
I said self you'll ruin your health
They say alcohol will cook the brain
I answered me, that well may be
But ya know it sure works good to kill the pain
Last night I had a little talk with myself
'Bout an old love affair
I said self can't you see
She's killing you and me
And we both know that she don't even care
Drinking them beers
Shedding them tears
Over a love that’s gone cold
Wasting time
Yours and mine
And wasted time can make a man grow old
I said self you'll ruin your health
They say alcohol will cook the brain
I answered me, that well may be
But ya know it sure works good to kill the pain
Drinking them beers
Shedding them tears
Crocodile
Over a love that’s gone cold
Wasting time
Yours and mine
And wasted time can make a man grow old
