I feel like a stranger in this home I share with you
I can't understand this awful change you're going through
But lately I've been watchin' you grow colder every day
And I'd rather be gone than in your way
I'd rather be gone than in your way I'd rather have someone else here in my place
And if I decide on leavin' my world will end today
But I'd rather be gone than in your way
[ piano ]
I'd rather be gone...
Oh how far can we go you and me doin' this
We're doin' the things that only sinners do but I can't keep my mind off of you
We made a mistake one night and didn't quit
So how far can we go you and me doin' this
We're strangers by day and lovers by night
And I feel like a thief when I hold you tight
The ring on my finger shows that I'm still his
So how far can we go you and me doin' this
Lovin' like there's no tomorrow or past we're takin' the backroad go and go out fast
The ring on my finger shows that I'm still his
So how far can we go you and me doin' this
So how far can we go you and me me and you everyday all the time doin' this
How I love to be around you when the lonely night surrounds you
How I love to be alone with you
How I love to have the power to read your mind one hour
How I love to be alone with you
Just to be with you one night you and me alone
Kiss your lips and hold you tight have you for my own
This would be a joy unending could be a real beginning
How I love to be alone with you
[ ac.guitar ]
How I'd love to be around you when the lonely night surrounds you
How I love to be alone with you
If I only knew for certain I'd cut out all my flirtin'
How I love to be alone with you
Just to be with you one night...
How I love to be alone with you how I love to be alone with you
Why not tell me that I'm really losing you
It's no secret that you've found somebody new
I just hope that she'll love you the way I do
Go on and go if you need her like I need you
Go on and go if you want her I understand
Between your passion and your pride you're half a man
I don't want your kiss without your sweet love too
Go on and go if you need her like I need you
[ piano - guitar ]
Go on and go if you want her...
Well I like my lovin' done country style and this little girl would walk a country mile
To find her a good ole slow talkin' country boy I said a country boy
I'm about as old fashioned as I can be and I hope you're likin' what you see
Cause if you're lookin' at me you're lookin' at country
You don't see no city when you look at me cause country's all I am
I love runnin' barefoot through the old cornfields and I love that country ham
Well you say I'm made just to fit your plans
But there's a barnyad shavel pick your hands
If your eyes are on me you're lookin' at country
[ dobro ]
This here country is a little green and there's a lotta country that you ain't seen
I'll show you around if you'll show me a weddin' band I said a weddin' band
When it comes to love well I know about that country folks all know where it's at
If you're lookin' at me you're lookin' at country
You don't see no city...
If your eyes are on me you're lookin' at country
Don't you think it's a little too late to show those tears
Just look out the way you're treatin' me all these years
I'm a full grown woman but you're treatin' me like a kid
You didn't like my lovin' so I found someone that did
You didn't like my lovin' so I found someone that did
And the one I found really made me flip my lid
After all that past I'm learnin' to live at last
You didn't like my lovin' so I found someone that did
[ steel - dobro ]
Far as I'm concerned you can turn and walk out that door
Cause the way we'd made it don't make it with me no more
Where your head used to lay there's another head there instead
You didn't like my lovin' so I found someone that did
You didn't like my lovin'...
You didn't like my lovin' so I found someone that did
I make my way through every day just because it's there
I've learned to live without your love but I can't learn not to care
And all the hurt I left for you won't make my wrong turn right
Oh yesterday will come again tonight
Little bits and pieces that once made up our home
Come back to visit with my mind each night when I'm alone
Oh round and round my mem'ries go they're never out of sight
Oh yesterday will come again tonight
Yesterday will come again tonight just as soon as I turn out the lights
(Ah think about it baby)
My mama said the seed you sow is surely what you'll reap
Every night I find it's harvest time when I lay me down to sleep
[ guitar - piano ]
Oh yesterday will come again tonight...
I've been living a new way of life that I love so
But I can see the clouds are gathering and the storm will wreck our home
For last night she hugged you tightly and you didn't even shove
This is true for I've been watching from the window up above
You must have thought that I was sleeping oh Lord I wish that I had been
But it's best to get to know you and the way your heart can sin
I thought we belonged together and our hearts fit like a glove
But I was wrong for I've been watching from the window up above
[ piano ]
From my eyes the teardrops started as I listened on and on
Heard you whisper to her softly that our marriage was all wrong
But I hope she makes you happy and you'll never lose her love
I lost mine while I was watching from the window up above
How I wished I could be dreaming wake up to the love that's true
But I can't for I was watching from the window up above
In our little one room country school it's where I learned to pray
A church without a steeple that's where I learned to pray
Every Sunday morning about the hour of ten
The door would open to our school the preacher did walk in
He'd smile and say good morning how everything today
We'd bow our heads and close our eyes and then he'd say let's pray
In our little one room country school it's where I learned to pray
Our church that had no steeple is no longer there today
From Monday until Friday at school we'd learn and play
Then back at school on Sunday that's where I learned to pray
[ piano ]
Our clothes were clean but faded sometimes our feet were bare
But no one noticed anything except the Lord was there
We'd come from all directions searching for the way
Harmonizes at school on Sunday that's where I learned to pray
In our little one room...
Let's forget unpleasent memories let them lie there in the past
Make believe here in my arms is where you belong
Yes I need you to love me each night when I'm alone
When I turn off my light your mem'ry turns on
I return the love she gives me till you mem'ry gets so strong
I exist in a house where I don't feel at home
How can love feel so right and still feel so wrong
When I turn off my light your mem'ry turns on
When I turn off my light your mem'ry turns on
Then I turn and reach for you and again find you're gone
But you stay with her she loves you and she's never done you wrong
When I turn off my light your mem'ry turns on
Still when I turn off my light your mem'ry turns on
Today for her it's only been thirteen years of livin'
And for me it's been a wonderful thirteen years of givin'
She grows taller every day and farther from my world
God help me reach this stranger my little girl
Music I can't understand replaced her nursery rhymes
No longer can I even guess what's running through her mind
Her long straight hair has forgotten ribbons and soft curles
God please protect this stranger my little girl
Can she hear the worried sound in her mom's conversation
Can she see the anquish in my look of desperation
Can she feel my love for her pulling against her world
I love her so this stranger my little girl
Has she so soon forgotten just how closed we used to be
And how went something troubled her she'd always run to me
But mom can't solve her problems she keeps locked inside her world
God help me reach this stranger my little girl
Can she hear the worried sound...
THE THIRD MAN
(Bobby Helms - Teddy Wilburn - Frances Heighton)
« © '65 Tree Publishing »
Last night I dreamed I took a walk up Calvary's lonely hill
The things I saw with my own eyes could not have been more real
I saw upon three crosses three men in agony
Two cried out for mercy and the third man he looked at me
And oh the hurt in this man's eyes that just broke my heart in two
It seemed I could hear him say son I'm doing this for you
I knelt beneath the third mean's cross and slowly bowed my head
I reached out to touch his feet and it stained my hand's with red
And when I heard him cry in pain I raised my eyes to see
The blood spilled from the third man's side and some of it spilled on me
The third man wore a crown of thorns spikes held him to the tree
And I heard him say oh my God my God why hast Thou forsaken me
And there within a mighty crowd the ones who mocked him cried
King save Thyself if thou art King and then the third man died
Suddenly I heard the thunder roll I saw the lightening pierce the sky
The third man was still hanging there and I began to cry
I saw the boulders fall and heard the breaking of the ground
Then I awoke and though I dreamed I touched my cheek and found
My eyes were wet where I had cried a dream I wished I knew
I still can hear the third man say I'm doing this for you
There's a built-in trouble maker in every man
It's always been that way since time began
He lie to you make you think you're the only oneY**ou'd better know how to keep him out of your mind
His words so sweet that he whispers in you ear
You'd better not believe everything you hear
So watch him close than love him all you can
Cause there's a built-in trouble maker in every man
Oh let me tell you somethin' here's what you gotta do
You'd better give him lovin' but he ain't been used to
Hild him in the morning squeeze him tight at night
Do the little things he loves and he would treat you right
There's a built-in trouble maker in every man
It's always been that way since time began
He lie to you make you think you're the only one
Cause there's a built-in trouble maker in every man
[ guitar + steel ]
Oh let me tell you somethin'...
In your haste you left and said you'd be returnin'
In my sorrow I forgot to ask you when
In my lonely room I sit and count the hours
Every minute hopin' I'll look up and you'll come walkin' in
For then and only then will I stop cryin'
And this aching breaking heart of mine will mend
Not until I feel your arms around me will I be happy and I live for then and only then
[ steel ]
All that's left inside my heart is just your echo
And the tiny thread of hope to which I cling
But if I keep holding on maybe some day
You'll remember where you left me and come back for me again
For then and only then...
Almost heaven West Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains Shenandoah River
Life is old there older than the trees
Younger than the mountains blowin' like the breeze
Country roads take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia mountain mama take me home country roads
All my mem'ries gather round her miner's lady stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty painted on the sky misty taste of moonshine teardrops in my eye
Country roads take me home...
I hear her voice in the mornin' as she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road I get a feelin' that I should have been
Home yesterday yesterday
Country roads take me home...
La da da da da in the mornin' as she calls me
La da da da da da da da home far away mhm
I just heard the saddest news somebody's back in town
And I know just what she's gonna do
She'll pick up what she left off her last time around
Oh how it hurts to keep on losin' you
Somebody's back in town to steal your love from me
The fear I've had so long is now reality
The only chance I have is when she throws you down
My chance is gone somebody's back in town
[ steel ]
I know that I can't change your way we've been through that before
Her trap is set and you will walk right in
She only wants of love an up-affair and nothing more
And you're just fool enough to fall again
Somebody's back in town why can't she stay away
You should know she never loved you anyway
She'll let you live a little then she'll throw you down
Sad news today somebody's back in town
See that mountain I'm gonna have to climb
Well there's a river waitin' on the other side
And the road leading nowhere I'll take it for I must
He's somewhere tomorrow or I'll bust
You can go along with me and be my friend
Or you can stay and wish you'd gone alone
And you can follow me in postcard that I'll send
But by the time you enter I'll be gone
Life is a circle spinning round searching for what you haven't found
I leave today to look for my tomorrow
Tomorrow I'll come searching for today
[ ac.guitar ]
See that mountain I'm gonna have to climb...
I don't know that I'd be coming back this way
But if you stay and I'd come back someday
Then I'll teach you the lessons that I've learned
And I'll build back the bridges that I've burned
Life is a circle spinning round...
Yeah tomorrow I'll come searching for today
How many times have you heard someone say
If I had his money I could do things my way
But little they know that it's so hard to find one rich man in ten with a satisfied mind
Once I was winning in fortune and fame
Everything that I dreamed for to get a start in life's game
But suddenly it happened I lost every dime but I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind
[ steel ]
Money can't buy back your youth when you're old
Or a friend when you're lonely or a love that's grown cold
The wealthiest person is a proper at time compared to the man with a satisfied mind
When life has ended and time has run out
My friends and my loved ones I'll leave there's no doubt
But there's one thing for certain when it comes my time
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind
Red comes from my Grandpa, he's an all American Brave.
White come from my Grandma, she's a red-headed Irish maid.
The blue come from the man I love, 'cause this boy said I do.
That leaves me a mixed-up with the red, white and blue.
I'm red, white and blue, ah ooh ah ooh ah ooh, ah ooh ah ooh ah ooh
And proud of it too.
I'm a blue-eyed Indian squaw, everybody calls me a half-breed.
That's what you get when you sow a little red and a white seed.
The white man said he'd marry me, he liked cold turkey too.
That leaves me a mixed-up with the red, white and blue.
I'm Red White and Blue, ah ooh ah ooh ah ooh, ah ooh ah ooh ah ooh
And proud of it too.
The great white powers had a plan to take the red man's land.
Well, I bet you think I'm petulant, but I'd never lie to you.
There's warrior's blood runs through my veins, an' I wish my skin was true.
Wish my skin was true.
I'm Red White and Blue. ah ooh ah ooh ah ooh, ah ooh ah ooh ah ooh
I'm Red White and Blue. ah ooh ah ooh ah ooh, ah ooh ah ooh ah ooh
I'm Red White and Blue. ah ooh ah ooh ah ooh, ah ooh ah ooh ah ooh
Well if you've been a married woman and things didn't seem to work out
Divorce is the key to bein' loose and free so you're gonna be talked about
Everybody knows that you've loved once so they think you'll love again
You can't have a male friend when you're a has been of a woman you're rated X
And if you're rated X you're some kind of goal every man might try to make
But I think it's wrong to judge every picture if a cheap camera makes a mistake
And when your best friend's husband says to you you've sure started lookin' good
You should've known he would and he would if he could and he will if you're rated X
[ steel ]
Well nobody knows where you're goin' but they sure know where you've been
All their thinkin' of is your experience of love their minds eat up with sin
The women all look at you like you're bad and the men all hope you are
But if you go too far you're gonna wear the scar of a woman rated X
And if you're rated X...
Ah your warm lips are inviting as they tremble with desire
And everytime I see you it adds more fuel to the fire
And again we'll share the love that's shouldn't be
Just between the three of us our conscience you and me
But our patiences are stronger then the will to do what's right
While someone else waits at home we'll meet again tonight
Then I'll hold you close and love you tenderly
Just between the three of us our conscience you and me
[ steel ]
While hiding in the shadows our love blooms at night
Though we know it's wrong we still go on we've lost control of all that's right
But if the love's so strong this wrong why should it be
Just between the three of us our conscience you and me
If I had counted one two three before I made you cry
If I had counted four and five and made another try
If we had counted six seven eight and made a brand new start
If we had counted nine and ten we wouldn't be apart
One two three come back to me and let bygones go by
Four and five I know that I've been a foolish guy
Six seven eight give me a date and I'll be as good as pie
Nine and ten kiss me again who wants to say goodbye
[ steel - guitar ]
If I had counted one two three before I walked away
If I had counted four and five well I'd whispered darling stay
If we had counted six seven eight and turned on all our charms
If we had counted nine and ten we'd be in each other's arms
One two three come back to me...
One to ten kiss me again who wants to say goodbye
The sun goes down and you come around with evening
Saying that you love ah but I know
That it really isn't tenderness you're feelin'
You're here cause you've got no place else to go
You'll ask how I've been doin' and you'll smile that same old smile
You'll touch my cheek and turn the lights down low
We'll kiss and I'll forget for just a while
That you're here cause you've got no place else to go
Ah no place else to go and no place else to be
No one else to take you in but good old easy me
When morning comes I tell myself I'll never
Do this again but deep iseide I know
I'm here because I'm bound to you forever
And you're here cause you've got no place else to go
[ fiddle - steel ]
I'm here because I'm bound to you forever
And you're here cause you've got no place else to go
(Oh mama why did God take my daddy cause I'd been good just like he said to be
I heard daddy pray dear Lord don't take me from them
Oh mama why did God take him from me)
Come here son you've asked mama somethin' that's even hard for me to understand
For there's one thing I do know
Daddy wouldn't gonna see those tears in the eyes of this big man
So stop cryin' now and listen real careful to every word mama has to say
You see son God picks the sweetest most beautiful flowers that grow
And he makes them the brightest shiniest stars that glow
Now daddy talk with the Lord every day and daddy and God'll be real close
So let's just say it seems that God takes the ones he loves the most
(Oh mama why did God take my daddy)
Son you haven't heard a word that mama said
So come on now let's say your prayers and mama tuck you in bed
And we must have questioned God cause he already has everything planned
And honey daddy can't ever come back to us though we can go to him
(Oh mama why did God take him from me)
I've been in and out of every honky tonk in town
And I'm almost drunk from the drinks
That I've turned down
Well, you told me you'd be happy
Bouncin' babies on your knee
While I sit at home alone
And i've been bouncin three
Yeah, and I'm tired of it too
[Chorus:]
I'm gonna call myself a long pick limousine
Yeah, believe it or not it's the prettiest thing
I think I've ever seen
There's a big bar in the corner, and a TV on the side
This baby's 60 feet long and 40 feet wide
Hey driver pull this car, buddy, right inside the bar
Take it on back to the big ol' blonde
That thinks she's amovie star
I'm gonna grab her by her phony ponytail
I'm gonna sling her around and around
When she wakes up she'll know she met up
With Mad Mrs. Leroy Brown
Well the smokes so dog gone thick
You could cut it with a knife
And the music so loud
You can hear the same line twice
Hey Leroy Brown, how do you like my big old pink limo
I just drawed all your money outta the bank today
Honey, you don't have no mo'
[Chorus]
Love's been here and gone but the mem'ry keeps holding on
Now I know how I'd be if I can leave through this love's been here and gone
When there's love your heart is strong but it weakens when love goes wrong
Now I've known that power dealt the parting hour love's been here and gone
I've loved once but never again a closed heart just won't let love in
Hopin' only to you oh what can I do love's been here and gone
[ piano ]
I've loved once but never again...
I can't believe the life we live or the love that we can't give to each other
I only know my dreams are gone and that you've been carrying on with another
That won't let us stop it we're too blind to drop it
So we still go on living together alone
[ steel ]
Oh I don't know how long we'll survive living here where love has died it's a wonder
Loneliness surrounds this house now we'll get by I don't how we're together
A house that's dividing will tumble to the ground
And yet we still go on living together alone
And yet we still go on living together alone
I was 11 months old, I was just startin' to walk
And daddy always kept, a big stick behind the door
Just in case somebody was to come in
That was drunk on moonshine
You know and daddy had to do something about it
Anyway, this woman, we called her old Aunt Boyd
She come in and she was telling mommy about her
Uh, husband, she thinks is going out with this woman in Paintsville
So she reared back with that big stick
Showing mommy how she was going
To hit this woman in the head with it
And when she went back with it, she hit me in the head
And Mommy said, I cried for 5 days
And she said I, that fifth night
I had a great big knot that show up
Right in the middle of my forehead
And, you know, the only thing I remember
I don?t remember no pain, but I just remember mommy
And daddy carrying me in this old quilt
That Mommy had made out of overhalls
The knots kept getting bigger and bigger
And she took me to the doctor
And that stuff called mesitor, something like that
Mommy said it made both ears
Flat to my face and I ain?t got very big ears
And them, told Mommy
That I would that I was going to die
And that happened like four times
So I didn?t walk till I was almost 5
It was, it was kind of a mess
Oh, I forgot about the shoes
Well, shoot, I hadn?t, I?d never had a pair of shoes
And Mommy had went, took me to the hospital
You know, to see what that was
If they couldn?t do something, but they wouldn?t keep me
Because Mommy and Daddy didn?t have no money
They just tell ?em to take me home and let me die, you know
Because there wasn?t nothing they could do about
That kind of disease, I guess
And, um, mommy told daddy, says, ?Ted, you take her
Down the street, you carry her down the street"
And said, ?Let me try this store here?
And Mommy went in and told them the story that I was dying
That she had to carry me twelve miles to town
And twelve miles back and that I had no shoes
That place, I think it was Murphy?s 5 and 10
And they?re still there in Paintsville, Kentucky
And I think that they told Mommy
That they wasn?t in business to give shoes away
Mommy told daddy, says, ?Carry Loretta on down a little farther?
Said, ?And let me stop in another store"
And Mommy went right back to the same store
When the guy?s back was turned she stole these little red shoes
And I remember on the big?old bridge that went across the river
It went way up high and was
I?ve always been scared of that bridge
That took me across the big Sandy River
Mommy pulled them out from under
That yellow jacket that she was wearing
And she was putting them red shoes on me
And I thought them was the prettiest things I ever saw in my life
And daddy started crying and I wondered why
And he said, ?Clerie, we?re not going to make it home?
And mommy put the shoes on me and daddy took off running
And run all the way ahead t?Butcher Holler with me
And Mommy never had a chance to carry me any farther
And that?s almost twelve miles that daddy run with me
But daddy knew that the cops was going to get us
He left Mommy standing and he took off in a dead run
I remember him running but I didn?t know what for
And I remember asking mommy, ?Mommy, why is Daddy running??
I remember her hollering, ?To put your little red shoes away
Honey, when you get home? Can you believe that?
So I wrote a song called ?Put My Little Red Shoes Away?
You know, they?re my little red shoes
Many heartaches have passed since we met there's a kind that a heart can't forget
And the sweet memories are too few while I'm living my lifetime for you
I'm living my life for you you're living to break me in two
I'd die while you're being untrue still I'm living my lifetime for you
[ guitar ]
If ever there should come a time when you feel that you'd like to die
Well you've made me feel that way too but I'm living my lifetime for you
I'm living my life for you...
I can see you are not happy the way you've been acting
And I think you'd like to be free
I know he's a good man but I know that you can be a whole lot happier with me
In your eyes there's a yearning and inside you're a burning
And I'd like to put out the flame
So let's get together like birds of a feather and we let the love take the blame
But right now I don't think that I can leave him for lately he's been so good to me
And there might be once more chance that things might work out
So let's wait a little longer then we'll see
But the way I can make you forget him cause I'll take you
To places that you've never been
We'll may call the night spots the dim and the bright spots
And then we'll forget where we've been
We'll walk sunny beaches and taste Georgia peaches and swing from Maine to Mexico
If you'll come along we can make life a song and you won't be tied down anymore
But still I don't think that I can leave him for lately he's been so good to me
And there might be once more chance that things might work out
So let's wait a little longer then we'll see yes let's wait a little longer then we'll see
Well this ol' world is a gettin' worse and worse every day
People livin' up above their heads and makin' bills that they can't pay
They're jealous of their neighbors and it's been like that since birth
So come on down and get your feet on the ground let's get back down to earth
Let's get back down to earth and live with the common people
Then we won't be meserable when we get old and feeble
Let's all be honest with ourselves we all know what we're worth
So come on down and get your feet on the ground let's get back down to earth
[ dobro ]
When we all come to this ol' world we didn't bring a thing
And when we all leave this ol' world we're gonna take the same
You'll be no better than I am when the man says dirt to dirt
So come on down and get your feet on the ground let's get back down to earth
Let's get back down to earth...
Come on down and get your feet on the ground let's get back down to earth
You need a change of scenery that's all I ever heard
And when you left and you said goodbye I never said a word
You're back but I don't want you back to you that might seem strange
But I ain't find what she bought so honey keep your change
Yeah honey keep your change and the trouble that she brings
You've worked real hard for what you got so honey keep your change
[ steel - ac.guitar ]
What happened to the scenery that look so good to you
Did you get hard of the change you made or did she get hard of you
You're like a travelin' salesman and I hear they're all the same
So travel right on back to her yeah honey keep your change
Yeah honey keep your change...
Yeah honey keep your change...
Yeah honey keep your change yeah honey keep your change
So he told you you're the dream that he's been searching for
And he told you that he'd never met anyone like you before
And I can hear him telling you
your lips taste just like sherry wine
But did he tell you that he's known as Johnny one time
So he told you that he'd never lead your heart astray
And he told you that he'd love you forever and a day
And I can hear him telling you that he's the shy and bashful kind
But did he tell you that he's known as Johnny one time
Did he tell you that your heart will soon become
Another trinket on his bracelets of broken hearts
Did he tell you that the morning sun will find you
Patching up your shattered pride and searching for the missing parts
Did he tell you that the special love you're savin'
Will disappear in shame and flames like mine
Did he tell you that he's known as Johnny one time
Did he tell you that your heart...
Did he tell you that your heart...
How sweet and happy seem those days of which I dream
When memory recalls them now and then
And with what rapture sweet my weary heart would beat
If I could hear my mother pray again
If I could only hear my mother pray again if I could only hear her tender voice as then
How happy I would be with who means so much to me
If I could hear my mother pray again

She used to pray that I on Jesus would rely and always walk the shining gospel way
So trusting still his love I'll seek that home above
For I shall meet my mother some glad day
Well it's time to pay the fiddler and it's sad to know we've danced it all away
But the one night's disappearing leaving nothin' but the cold hard light of day
And it's time to start erasin' all the rainbows we've been chasing in our minds
We know there's no way of making other ties on us unravel and unwind
Yes it's time to pay the fiddler and today's the day the thirsty someones do
For the rest of all my days I wonder why the maker mismatched me and you
But there's so much to consider like my man and little baby
Will need and want my love just like you do
Now it's time to pay the fiddler but before we pay the fiddler
Let's say to him please play one last final tune
[ fiddle ]
Well it's time to pay the fiddler now there's naked sorrow drippin' from my eyes
On'ry stranded and unshamed we've loved each other now we've got to leave it lie
But I can feel my hands a trembling and I search to find a handle on the door
So let's let the fiddler pull his magic bow across our heart strings just once more
Yes it's time to pay the fiddler...
It's another world when I'm with you
Roses everywhere blue skies up above everybody is in love
It's another world when I'm with you and that's where I wanna be
Never a day goes by when I'm blue there's no tears in my eyes when I'm with you
It's another world when I'm with you
Nights are made for love days are never long nothing nothing can go wrong
It's another world when I'm with you and that's where I wanna be
[ steel ]
Never a day goes by when I'm blue there's no tears in my eyes when I'm with you
It's another world when I'm with you
And it's here right now let me hold you close love you know just grows and grows
It's another world when I'm with you and that's where I wanna be
I'm gonna wipe these teardrops from my eyes there ain't no use for me to cry
And there's some things I think I need to say
I'll think about you every day every day while you're away
I'll be true to you honey while you're gone if you're not gone too long
But if you're gone for a year or two it may be too long for me to be true
I might find somebody else cause I get lonesome by myself
I'll be the truest love you've known and for a while I'll stay at home
I'll be true to you honey while you're gone if you're not gone too long
[ guitar - steel ]
Tomorrow you'll be gone I know so love me now before you go
We don't know what's farther down the road
There may be a detour sign to upset plans of yours and mine
I'll be true to you honey while you're gone if you're not gone too long
But if you're gone for a year or two...
Oh yeah if you're not gone too long
I can almost hear the stillness
As it yelds to the sound of my heart beating
And I can almost hear the echo
Of the thoughts that I know you must be thinking
You can feel my body tremble
As I wonder what this moment holds in store
And as you put my arms around me
You can tell I've never been this far before
I can hear you say you love me
As your trembling fingers touch forbidden places (pum pum pum)
But you don't know how I've waited
So long for the chance that we're finally takin' (pum pum pum)
I don't know and I don't care
What made you tell her you don't love her anymore
As I taste your tender kisses
You can tell I've never been this far before (pum pum pum)
And as you take the love I'm givin'
I can feel the tension buildin' in my mind (pum pum pum pum pum pum)
Now I wonder if tomorrow
Will you still love me like you're lovin' me tonight (pum pum pum pum pum pum)
Oh you have no way of knowin'
But tonight will only make me want you more
And I hope that you'll believe me
Cause you know I've never been this far before (pum pum pum pum pum pum)
(Pum pum pum)
I'll just call you darling and I'll call you the same
And if we ever cry out in the night we won't call each other's name
I'm afraid that I'm falling and I'm falling too
But we both belong to others we're not free
I know I'll dream about you but if you'll call my name
We'll both hurt someone who shouldn't be
So I'll just call you darling...
[ steel ]
I didn't mean for it to happen and we can't turn back time
But it just happened we can't help it now
I have no right to hurt her and he's still in love with me
Why we're the ones who broke our wedding vows
So I'll just call you darling...
I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold I'd rather be his than have riches untold
I'd rather have Jesus than houses or land I'd rather be led by his nail pierced hands
Than to be the queen of the best domain and beheld in sin's dreads way
I'd rather have Jesus than anything this world affords today
[ steel ]
I'd rather have Jesus than men's applause I'd rather be faithful to his dear cause
I'd rather have Jesus then world wide things I'd rather be true to his holy name
Than to be the queen...
He packed his few belongings left a note and now he's gone
It's hard for me to know he's left me here so all alone
As soon as he's gone for enough and I know he's out of sight
Oh I'll go all to pieces and I'll cry
Yes I need someone to hold me when I cry
Someone who really understand the way I feel inside
When my heart breaks the tears won't stop no matter how I try
And I need someone to hold me when I cry
I don't know why he left me or what his leavin's for
I guess he didn't need me or love me anymore
He drove me into a world as dark and cold as ice
With no one here to hold me when I cry
Yes I need someone to hold me....
Hello oh hello fancy me and you the girl you have with you sure looks sweet
But she don't know I'm talking to my old used to be
And I wonder if you told her yes I wonder if you told her about me
It sure is good to see you it's been a long long time don't think I'm foolish if I cry
But I just can't hide the power of so many memories
And I wonder if you told her yes I wonder if you told her about me
But I can see she loves you and you can see it too
She's got you on her mind constantly
But she don't know the reason why you set me free
And I wonder if you told her yes I wonder if you told her about me
The party's almost over but let me say before I'd go
I'm glad at last you found your destiny
I told her that I love her and held her tenderly
And I wonder if you told her yes I wonder if you told her about me
My eyes are perfect but now I see I'm blind
Because I didn't notice all those danger signs
I tried and tried to tell you oh so many times
You should reach for your baby but I reached for the wine
Remember I told you that someday you would find
Just you and your bottle at the end of the line
You'd still be here in my arms and not just on my mind
If you'd reach for your baby like I reached for the wine
If I could reach you just one more time
I'd show you I love you much more than the wine
Many nights my pillow feels these arms of mine
For they couldn't reach you cause I reached for the wine
[ steel ]
I'm sure you'll find someone who will be kind and true
That's the things I wanted but I wanted them from you
Our love could have lasted until the end of time
If I'd reach for you baby like I reached for the wine
If I could reach you...
My arms couldn't reach you cause I reached for the wine
I chased you till you caught me you had plans of your own
It didn't come as no surpise and you knew it all alone
Now I guess you think you're a pretty cheek but I've got news for you
It don't really matter to me just who caught who
Well it was a long hard race I thought I've finally won
I thought I really played it smart but brother was I dumb
You thought you'd pull to figure out and won my heart and hand
But things were only workin' out accordin' to my plans
I chased you till you caught me...
[ guitar ]
Now you were playin' hard to get just danglin' on a string
I was only holdin' out for a pretty weddin' ring
So you went to the jewelry's to get my big surprise
But you done been there a month before and given them your size
I chased you till you caught me...
It don't really matter to me just who caught who
By your side each minute's where I wanna be
Can't get you off my mind and let it rest in peace
So every step you make I wanna make it too oh I can't keep away from you
Well I don't care where you are as long as you're with me
You're every dream I dream you're every breath I breathe
My shadow follows you loves everything you do why I can't keep away from you
Oh I can't keep away from you I couldn't if I wanted to
No matter how hard I try or what I do
You've got my heart and soul that's why I need you so
You're holding on to me I know I can't let go
But all what I go through to prove my love is true oh I can't keep away from you
[ steel ]
Baby I can't keep away from you
Oh I burnt the little roadside tavern down the only one for miles and miles around
Now it's pile of ashes on the ground
Yeah I burnt the little roadside tavern down
Oh I warned my man just stay away from that tavern or I'll burn it down someday
I think he thought it was a joke until he smelled the smoke
Then he screaned that woman finally got her way
Oh I burnt the little roadside...
[ steel ]
He acted like a man who'd lost its mind after he bought all those bottles of wine
You should have heard him talk and should as he tried to put it out
Drowin' water on the bucket at a time
Oh I burnt the little roadside...
Yes I burnt the little roadside tavern down
I've got a hundred proof heartache and a case of the blues
My baby's gone and left me I've lost all I can lose
I've got a hundred proof heartache my world keeps turnin' round
This hundred proof heartache's got me down
You waded through my tears and said goobye
You didn't seem to care how much I'd cry
You made your home the tavern down the street
And this old heart cries out with every beat
I've got a hundred proof heartache and a case of the blues
You're holdin' someone else tonight I just got the news
You left a hundred proof heartache for a love that's second hand
This hundred proof heartache I can't stand
[ piano - steel ]
I've got a hundred proof heartache my world keeps turnin' round
This hundred proof heartache's got me down
Oh Lord my God when I in all some wonder
Considered all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars I hear the roaring thunder Thy art throughout the universe displayed
Then sings my soul Thy save dear God to Thee
How great Thou art how great Thou art
Then sings my soul...
[ ac.guitar ]
When Christ shall come with shouts of acclamation
To take me home what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow in humble adoration and there proclaim my God how great Thou art
Then sings my soul...
I don't know the location he's usin' he's so close and still I can't see
But I know all the heartache he's bringin' sure he's somewhere between you and me
When you say that you love me I don't doubt it
But he tells me the same things you see
All I know he's on my mind much too often cause he's somewhere between you and me
Yes he's somewhere between you and me give me time to erase his memory
Cause my heart has to be free completely and he's somewhere between you and me
[ guitar - steel ]
Yes he's somewhere...
Yes he's somewhere between you and me
Have mercy on me, baby
I'm down upon my knees
Have mercy on me, baby
I'll do just as you please
Well, you know that I love you
I'll put no one else above you
Have mercy on me, baby, have mercy
Have mercy on me, baby
Please have a little heart
Have mercy on me, baby
You're tearin' me apart
The way that you do me
You know you done got to me
Have mercy on me, baby, have mercy
She's got you hypnotized
And your brain is paralyzed
You know she's only playing with you
Like a puppet on a string
Remember just one thing
She can't love you like I do, no
Have mercy on me, baby
Please give this heart a break
Have mercy on me, baby
I'll do just what it takes
You know you won't regret it
So hey there now I said it
Have mercy on me, baby, have mercy
Have mercy
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on me, baby
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on me, baby
Please have mercy on me
I love to hear those good old songs they sing unto the Lord
I love to play my old guitar with them and I wanna choir
I'm looking forward to the day when I'll reach glory land
I'll have a harp with golden strings to play with the angel band
I'm gonna trade my old guitar for a harp with golden strings
I'm gonna play like David did unto my Lord and pain
We'll gather round the great white throne and make the heaven's ring
I'm gonna trade my old guitar for a harp with golden strings
[ ac.guitar ]
I hear songs of every time that gives my heart a trill
Songs of love and happiness and songs about the hills
But of all the songs I've ever heard there's none that can compare
To the songs that helps the angels sing when I get over there
I'm gonna trade my old guitar...
I'm gonna trade my old guitar for a harp with golden strings
A pretty boy Charlie's the name that you've been a given
And you act like the whole wide world all you were livin'
You tell me you can get any girl you know
You say it got what it takes to me you're just a heartache
So get what'cha got and go
You think you're the greatest thing in this whole town
Oh number one but everyone no one can put you down
Every night you go downtown where the go-gos go
Oh well you think you're so hot and you tell me you're not
So get what'cha got and go
[ steel ]
You better watch that sneaky smile right off of your face
For I just might to knock it off and put it in your place
Just like the wild wild wind all you do is blow
Just say I'm holdin' you back but baby I'll have to pack
So get what'cha got and go
You think you're the greatest thing...
It wasn't very long ago that he held me so close
But the little love he had has died for me who loved him most
He left me for another and didn't say goodbye
And if you're next to love him then you'll be next to cry
Get set for a heartache that's all I can say get set for a heartache on its way
[ fiddle - steel ]
He'll make you think he loves you too but you'll find it's not true
You'll learn that when you need him most he'll be with someone new
Your love will all be wasted that's how it was with me
And soon heartaches will tell you you're just his used to be
Get set for a heartache that's all I can say get set for a heartache on its way
You've been makin' your brags around town that you've been a lovin' with my man
But the man I love when he picks up trash he puts it in a garbage can
And that's what you look like to me and what I see is a pitty
You'd better close your face and stay out of my way
If you don't wanta go to Fist City
If you don't wanna go to Fist City you'd better detour round my town
Cause I'll grab you by the hair of the head and I'll lift you off of the ground
I'm not a sayin' my baby is a saint cause he ain't
And that he won't cat around with a kitty
I'm here to tell you gal to lay off of my man if you don't wanna go to Fist City
[ steel ]
Come on and tell me what you told my friends if you think you're brave enough
And I'll show you what a real woman is since you think you're hot stuff
You'll bite off more than you can chew if you get too cute or witty
You better move your feet if you don't wanna eat a meal that's called Fist City
If you don't wanna go to Fist City...
I'm here to tell you gal to lay off of my man if you don't wanna go to Fist City
I'm sorry honey that you walked in and caught her in my lap
But it's not what you're thinking so think before you slap
I suppose you're weighin' that little blonde that walked here in this bar
Ah don't tell me you're sory cause I know how sorry you are
I'm sorry that you think I'm drunk I ain't had a drink today
Would you believe I held her just to see how much she'd weight
That cheatin' look that's on your face is lit up like a star
So don't tell me you're sorry cause I know how sorry you are
Don't tell me you're sorry but I'm as sorry as I can be
Well you'd better move fast and don't give me no sass cause you belong to me
Now honey we ain't done nothing wrong but I'm sorry it's gone this far
But don't tell me you're sorry cause I know how sorry you are
[ guitar ]
Don't tell me you're sorry...
Now wait a minute Loretta you know how sorry I am
Conway you better believe I know how sorry you are
I'm through the place where I don't know my name
It's a world for the lonely go insane
I've brought along the little pieces of me he left behind
Got no place to go but crazy out of my mind
I've got no place to go but crazy out of my mind over baby
He's the last thing I remember that I won't forget in time
Got no place to go but crazy out of my mind
I've watched him leave with hurt clear out of sight
And from that day on my mind just don't work right
What a little sence left in me I'll leave here in this wine
Got no place to go but crazy out of my mind
I've got no place to go...
I'm having daydreams about night things in the middle of the afternoon
While my hands make a living my mind's home loving you
I'm having daydreams about night things in the middle of the afternoon
And every night you make my dreams come true
All day long while I'm working in town time slows down to a crawl
When I'm not thinking about you I'm checking the clock on the wall
Then it's goodbye factory and hello love and there's a smile across my face
Cause I'm back in the arms of your sweet love where my thoughts have been all day
I'm having daydreams...
[ steel ]
I'm having daydreams...
Dark moon a way up high up in the sky
Oh tell me why oh tell me why you've lost your splendor
Dark moon why is the cause your light withdraws
Is it because is it because I've lost my love
Mortals have dreams of love's perfect schemes
But they don't realize that love can sometimes bring
Dark moon a way up high...
[ ac.guitar ]
Mortals have dreams...
Dark moon a way up high...
My baby makes me proud Lord don't he makes me proud
He never makes a scene by hanging onto me in a crowd
Cause people like to talk Lord
don't they love to talk
But when they turn out the lights I know he'll be leavin' with me
And when we get behind closed doors and I let my hair hang down
And he makes me glad that I'm a woman
Oh no one knows what goes on behind closed doors
[ steel ]
My baby makes me smile Lord don't he make me smile
He's never far away or too tired to say ah honey I want you
I'm always a lady just like a lady should be
But when they turn out the lights I show 'em what a woman I can be
And when we get behind closed doors...
Behind closed doors
Well I was born the coal miner's daughter in a cabin on a hill in Butcher Holler
We were poor but we had love that's the one thing that daddy made sure of
He shovel coal to make a poor man's dollar
My daddy worked all night in the Vanleer coal mine all day long in the field hoein' corn
Mommie rocked the baby that night and read the Bible by the coal oil light
And everything would start all over come break of morn
Daddy loved and raised eight kids on a miner's pay
Mommie scrubbed our clothes on a washboard everyday
Why I've seen her fingers bleed to complain there was no need
She's smiled in mommie's understanding way
In the summertime we didn't have shoes to wear
But in the wintertime we'd all get a brand new pair
From a mail order catalog money made by selling a hog
Daddy always managed to get the money somewhere
Yeah I'm proud to be a coal miner's daughter
I remember well the well where I drew water
The work we done was hard at night we'd sleep cause we were tired
I never thought I'd ever leave the Butcher Holler
But a lots of things have changed since the way back then
And it's so good to be back home again
Not much left but the floor nothing lives there anymore
Just the mem'ries of a coal miner's daughter
His eyes may be a deeper blue but they remind me so much of you
He may even comb his hair a little different
And when he's walkin' by my side and tells me his love will never die
Then it's plain to see I found me another you
I never wanted it this way but there's one thing I can say
He's givin' all the love I wanted you to
When we're alone each night and day he speaks the same words you once say
Oh can it really be I found me another you
He looks like you he talks like you and when he whispers my name
It sounds so much like you're talkin' I feel you're holdin' me again
There's a feeling with him I found that makes your mem'ry stay around
Yes it just might be I found me another you
Oh yes it just might be I found me another you
Always wanting you but never having you
Makes it hard to face tomorrow cause I know I'll wake up wanting you again
Always loving you ah but never touching you
Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand
I'd been better off if I turned away and never looked at you the second time
Cause I really had my life all together till your eyes met mine
And there I saw you yearning and the feeling frost the room that you felt for me
Wish I'd had a way of knowin' that the things we had in mind could never be
Always wanting you...
[ steel ]
Always loving you ah but never touching you
Sometimes hurts me almost more than I can stand
Is it day is it night am I losin' my sight is it over or we're really through
I can't see you in my arms anymore and I can't see me without you
I can't see me without you to lean on and I can't see you leavin' or gone
I could never see anything you wanted me to and I can't see me without you
I see the house you once called your own and I see the door you walked through
I see the road you're leavin' me on and I can't see me without you
I can't see me...
Easy lovin' so sexy lookin' I know from the feelin' it comes from the heart
Easy lovin' everyday's things givin'
To count on my blessin's I would know where to start
Everytime I look you over so real to life it seems
Mhm upon your pretty shoulders there's a pair of angel wings
Easy lovin' seein's believin' life with you is like livin' in a beautiful dream
Everytime I look you over...
Easy lovin'
I keep leaning on your love
[ steel ]
It's funny how someone depends so heavily on someone else's love to survive
Ah but that's the way I feel deep down inside of me
And you're the only reason I'm alive
Baby I'm leaning on your love the secret of happiness I found
And I'll keep leaning on your love oh on your love that makes my world go round
The flowers couldn't grow without a falling rain
Without the sun the world could not go on
And without your precious love it would all be in vain
For nothing else would matter with you gone
Baby I'm leaning...
L-o-v-e l-o-v-e love
There couldn't be a bad word I haven't heard you say
Don't you know the needs of any woman
You speak words my ears have never heard of
The only four letter word that you don't know is l-o-v-e love
L-o-v-e a word you never use l-o-v-e your lips never choose
It's enough to make a woman want to give of
The only four letter word that you don't know is l-o-v-e love
[ guitar ]
It would tear me all to pieces if you ever came to me
With more to give than one robbed kiss at nighttime
You'll never know the longing that my heart does
The only four letter word that you don't know is l-o-v-e love
L-o-v-e a word you never use...
I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear falling on my ear
The son of God discloses
And he walks with me and he talks with me
And he tells me, I am his own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
He speaks and the sound of his voice
Is so sweet that the birds hush their singing
And the melody that he gave to me
Within my heart is ringing
And he walks with me and he talks with me
And he tells me, I am his own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
Why me Lord what have I ever done to deserve even one of the pleasures I've known
Tell me Lord what did I ever do that was worth loving you
Or the kindness you've shown
Lord help me Jesus I've wasted it so help me Jesus I know what I am
Now that I know that I've needed you so help me Jesus my soul's in your hand
Try me Lord if you think there's a way I can try to repay all I've taken from you
Maybe Lord I can show someone else what I've been through myself
On my way back to you
Lord help me Jesus...
Jesus my soul's in your hand
Release me darling let me go I don't love you anymore
To live together is a sin release and let me love again
Oh I have found a new love dear and I'll always want her near
Her lips are warm while yours are cold release me darling let me go
Please release me let me go I don't love you anymore
To live together is a sin release and let me love again
Please release me let me go...
We've lived more in a short time together than we've lived in a lifetime before
And this feeling that's burning inside me is a thing of the future in store
The short time we've spent together oh the love we give each other
Is more than most people see in the lifetime
You're all I ever live for oh no one could ever give more
I can't see me without you nowhere in my mind
We've lived more...
You're just across the room but we're still a world apart
It's as though we built a wall of ice around our hearts
We should speak because there's so much to be talk
But we're locked in a silence just two in the cold
We had two hearts that beat in perfect kind
One broke the pattern was it yours or was it mine
We need command to break but pride has its hold
So we set the world apart just two in the cold
[ steel ]
We let our silly quarrel devide our hearts
And it has left us more than just a room apart
We need to talk because there's so much to be talk
But we're locked in a silence just two in the cold
We had two hearts...
Once I stood in the night with my head bowed low
In the darkness as black as the sea
And my heart was afraid and I
cried oh Lord don't hide your face from me
Hold my hand all the way every hour every day from here to the great unknown
Take my hand let me stand where no one stands alone
[ steel ]
Like a king I may live in a palace so tall with great riches to call my own
But I don't know a thing in this whole wide world that's worse than being alone
Hold my hand all the way...
I've seen you walkin' through the door a thousand times before
But you're still here with me
And each time my tears began this could really be the end oh I just know you're gone
But each time you start to leave you turn around and look at me
And my love is there to see
I run into your arms once more like so many times before
And you're still loving me
With all the hurt that I have shown it's a wonder you're not gone
But you're still here with me
All the mean things that I say it must be hard for you to stay
It's made me love you more
I'm gonna make it up to you love you like you want me to anything you ask I'll do
We must be doing something right cause you're here with me tonight
And you're still loving me
And I thank God for sending you to me you're the understanding love that I need
And everything I took away I gave it back to yesterday
And I thank God that you're still loving me
Well I like my lovin' done country style and this little girl would walk a country mile
To find her a good ole slow talkin' country boy I said a country boy
I'm about as old fashioned as I can be and I hope you're likin' what you see
Cause if you're lookin' at me you're lookin' at country
You don't see no city when you look at me cause country's all I am
I love runnin' barefoot through the old cornfields and I love that country ham
Well you say I'm made just to fit your plans
But there's a barnyad shavel pick your hands
If your eyes are on me you're lookin' at country
[ dobro ]
This here country is a little green and there's a lotta country that you ain't seen
I'll show you around if you'll show me a weddin' band I said a weddin' band
When it comes to love well I know about that country folks all know where it's at
If you're lookin' at me you're lookin' at country
You don't see no city...
If your eyes are on me you're lookin' at country
I came home last night about a quarter past four without a worry on my mind
I slowly slipped through the kitchen door I thought I was doing right fine
But when I sneaked into my room and started to slip in the bed
I found the note into the wall and this is what it said
You done lost your baby lost your baby lost your baby tonight
You done lost your baby honey baby you just ain't been treatin' your baby right
You come home every night about a quarter past four
And then you come a sneakin' through the kitchen door
You done lost your baby lost your baby lost your baby tonight
Well my knees started shakin' and my stomach was achin'
And my head went into a spin
I said this just couldn't happened to me this must be a dream that I'm in
So I stood there a shakin' for a minute or two and then I sat down on the bed
But when I opened her note once more still it plainly read
You done lost your baby lost your baby lost your baby tonight
You done lost your baby honey baby you just ain't been treatin' your baby right
Oh well you trifled on your bed so many times before
But you ain't gonna trifle on your baby no more
You done lost your baby lost my baby lost your baby tonight yeah
Today I started loving you again I'm right back where I've really always been
I've got over you just long enough
to let my heartaches mend
Today I started loving you again
What a fool I was to think I could get by with only these few million tears I've cried
I should have known the worst was yet to come and cryin' time for me had just begun
So today I started loving...
Yes today I started loving you again
Are you thinking that I don't care for you
Could it be you believe that I've been untrue
Oh listen sweetheart it just cannot be
For you're the only good thing that happened to me
We've had our ups and downs like all lovers do
But you know in your heart that I worship you
So don't ever think of setting me free
For you're the only good thing that happened to me
[ steel ]
If you ever should think that I don't love you
That I'm not satisfied with the things that you do
I want you to know and please understand
There's nothing in this world worth the touch of your hand
We've had our ups and downs...
You've just stepped in from steppin' out on me
And bragged that you've been on another spree
If you don't settle down and change your ways
I'll wound up steppin' out on you someday
I can't hold your love by force I wouldn't if I could
And I can't bring myself to leave though I know I should
You've just stepped in from steppin' out on me
You're not the faithful man I thought you'd be
Many nights I've wondered what you'd do
If you caught me a steppin' out on you
[ piano ]
I can't hold your love by force I wouldn't if I could
And I can't bring myself to leave though I know I should
You've just stepped in from steppin' out on me
I'll bet your conscience hurts you constantly
Oh time and time again you've been untrue
So I'll just step in from steppin' out on you
I know we shouldn't be here together doin' the things we do
But I can't help the way I feel I've just got to be with you
When our bodies touch each other there's a feeling I can't fight
And you take me to heaven every night
You smile and whisper I want you and we're makin' love again
By the way we call each other and it seems we're more than friends
I tremble while we're lovin' oh Lord I hold on tight
And you take me to heaven every night
It's so easy to see while you're lovin' me you're turnin' up to blame
I won't another man touch me I know it wouldn't be the same
So baby lock the door walk to the bed and then turbn out the light
And take me to heaven again tonight
[ steel ]
Oh take me to heaven again tonight
It's late almost morning you just walk in the door
Don't bother explaining I've heard it all before
Just turn around and leave me I've made up my mind
That I'll never lose you for you never were mine
I'll hurt if you leave me but I'll hurt if you'd stay
My heart knows no difference it would break either way
They all say I've lost you but someday they'll find
That I didn't lose you for you never were mine
I can't say that's over it never did start guess I lose my mind after losin' my heart
Oh no I'm not cryin' I've had too much wine
How can I lose you when you never were mine
Oh no I'm not cryin'...
God was right giving you the gift of love
Yes you've used your gift of love so willingly
God was good giving you the hands to help
You've done well and I know he must be pleaded
I know you're lonely I don't know what I can do
I know you're unhappy you love everybody but you
God was wise giving you a warming smile
You have warmed so many hearts unselfishly
God was great giving you the settling touch God is great God is good endlessly
I know you're lonely...
You love everybody but you
You've come to tell me something you say I ought to know
That he don't love me anymore and I'll have to let him go
You say you're gonna take him oh but I don't think you can
Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man
Women like you they're a dime a dozen you can buy 'em anywhere
For you to get to him I'd have to move over and I'm gonna stand right here
It'll be over my dead body so get out while you can
Cause you ain't woman enough to take my man
[ dobro ]
Sometimes a man start lookin' at things that he don't need
He took a second look at you but he's in love with me
Well I don't know where they leave you oh but I know where I'll stand
And you ain't woman enough to take my man
Women like you they're a dime...
No you ain't woman enough to take my man
I can't seem to learn not to love you you get to me every time
You're someone I just can't say no to you're so good at changin' my mind
Here I go down that wrong road again goin' back where I've already been
Even knowing where it will end here I go down that wrong road again
[ steel ]
Though I see the web that you're weavin' you and your soft easy line
Before I stop to think I'm believin' and I'm fallin' for you one more time
Here I go down that wrong road again...
Here I go down that wrong road again...
Here I go down that wrong road again...
Have you found since you turned me down the one that you've been searching for
Are you glad that you made me sad
for you know you vowed to love me ever more
What did you have in mind when you broke this heart of mine
Are you laughing in my face
Tell me what can I do when you say that we are through
You've left a wound time can't erase
[ piano - guitar ]
Tell me dear are you satisfied to be foot loose and fancy free
Is it power you want for the things that you have done
What you've gained I guess I'll never see
What did you have in mind...
I live in the world world of forgotten people
Who've loved and lost their hearts so many times
I'm here in the world world of forgotten people
Where every heart is aching just like mine
Well I've loved and I'd been loved but I had the reckless heart
And the many dreams I had are torn apart
Now I find out I was loved too late I'm all alone alone in the world of broken heart
I live in the world...
[ with Ernest Ray ]
Well I'm at home a workin' and a slavin' this way
You're out of misbehavin' spendin' all of your pay on wine women and song
Well I'm a makin' bed you're out a makin' time
You robbed my piggy bank and spent my last thin dime on wine woman and song
Well one of these nights you gonna come home you find it's comin' home to you
You see what you've done and what's good for one it's also good for two
When you in the doghouse with the mingy ole pup
You may start to thinkin' and a givin' up your wine women and song
[ piano ]
Well one of these nights...
I've got my angel on my mind that's why I'm walkin'
There's such an ache in this old heart well I ain't talkin'
The hand that held mine tight just
waved goodbye tonight
I've got my angel on my mind that's why I'm walkin'
With an old love in your heart life's not worth livin'
I breathe his name with every breath I'm breathin'
Why can't he ever see how much he means to me
I've got my angel on my mind that's why I'm walkin'
[ steel ]
When I pass you on the street and I miss speakin'
Just blame it on this memory I'm keepin'
My head is bowed down low the hurt is bound to show
I've got my angel on my mind that's why I'm walkin'
(Who says God is dead who says God is dead)
Who says God is dead I'm a talkin' to him now
Who says God is dead he's with us all right now
He knows every move that you make he knows every time you make a mistake
The rumor has been spread who says God is dead
Who says God is dead that's stooped and mighty low
I like to meet 'em face to face and tell 'em it's not so
I've got my Saviour by the hand he's leadin' me to the Promised Land
No I'm not out of my head who says God is dead
[ guitar ]
Who says God is dead he's a watchin' you right now
Who says God is dead he's a reachin' for you now
If I were you I'd kneel and pray cause we're not promised one more day
Remember blood was shed who says God is dead
Who says God is dead...
Who says God is dead who says God is dead who says God is dead
Just a honey haired girl in a paper doll world, thats what you are
You're only six, believe magic tricks and wishing on a star
Today I can hold you, tomorrow who knows what you'll do, ooh ooh
When you leave my world what will the world do to you?
Chorus:
Will you win the hand of a man who will make your life gay
Or love many times only to find you loose every game that you play.
When you learn theres no majic and dreams are just things that fall through.
When you leave my world what will the world do to you?
She plays in the sand and don't understand the words I say
Or the fear mommy feels the wrong man will steal my baby someday
Today I can hold you kiss and console you, tomorrow who knows what you'll do
When you leave my world what will the world do to you.
Chorus:
Will you win the hand of a man who will make your life gay
Or love many times only to find you loose every game that you play.
When you learn theres no majic and dreams are just things that fall through.
When you leave my world what will the world do to you?
Today I'm like a leaf in autumn never again to know the spring
Today my heart is at rock bottom
sorrow nothing else could bring
But the words you told me just today you said I'm only in your way
You left me and what could I say for my world ended today
[ steel ]
All the words you told me just today you said I'm only in your way
I'm lost I'll never find my way for my world ended today
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen to hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas with every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright and may all your Christmases be white
[ mandolin ]
May your days be merry and bright and may all your Christmases be white
Here I am a doing things I said I'd never do
But that's before my baby said we're through
It was on that tragic day the hurtin' got its start
That's how it is when lonely hits your heart
I've become a fallen girl for the love of a man
The same old thing goes on and on it's more than I can stand
To him it just don't matter but it's tearing me apart
That's how it is when lonely hits your heart
[ guitar - piano ]
I spent my nights a crying while he was running round
My heart was the first place lonely found
I don't think I'll forget him I can't begin to start
That's how it is when lonely hits your heart
I've become a fallen girl...
You want me to come down to your level you know that's pretty low
That looks like I will soon be there cause I don't have very far to go
You turn my feet in your direction and I follow everywhere
So when I reach the bottom you'd better be there
I'm going down the ladder one step at a time
I'm going down the ladder that I'll never climb
You keep a saying come on down like a fool I ask you where
So when I reach the bottom you'd better be there
[ steel ]
The road we're on is a going down the hill and I'm turning where you turn
You're teaching me your way of life and it didn't take me very long to learn
I'll do anything you want me to I've got to where I don't care
But when I reach the bottom you'd better be there
I'm going down the ladder...
So when I reach the bottom you'd better be there
If it's over between us what now can't forget you cause I don't know how
Oh what will I do where do I go from you if it's over between us what now
If my heart's been deserted what now can't I stop it from beating somehow
If there's no more you and I that I'll want to die if it's over between us what now
I keep asking where did our love go you won't tell me and I sure don't know
All I know is what's left is our love worse and dead if it's over between us what now
If it's over between us what now
Gonna have my head examin' cause my mind's in bad shape
The way that you've been actin' I think that you've gone ape
The way I let you treat me it's enough to make me sick
I'm gonna have my head examin' and find out what makes me tick
If I had the brains of a dummy I'd be smart
Cause there ain't no feelin' in a poor dummy's heart
And when it comes to cheatin' honey you know every trick
I'm gonna have my head examin' and find out what makes me tick
[ guitar ]
Gonna have my head examin' cause I know my mind is broke
Tonight I saw you kiss her you said can't you take a joke
Now I won't be your monkey you'd better change in quick
I'm gonna have my head examin' and find out what makes me tick
If I had the brains...
I'm gonna have my head examin' and find out what makes me tick
You want me to prove my love for you
I'm surprised that's the way you're askin' me to
You've known me so long I can't
understand what kind of a girl do you think I am
What kind of a girl do you want for a wife
Do you want a girl who knows that much about life
Well if that's what you want take me out of your plans
What kind of a girl do you think I am
[ steel ]
What kind of a girl would do the things you're askin' me to without wedding rings
Is it what you must do to prove you're a man what kind of a girl do you think I am
What kind of a girl...
Well you come home most every night as grouchy as can be
And start right in a pickin' on our little kids and me
I'm sick and tired of hearin' are you worth keep you a trigon
Cause you seem to forget big boy that two mules pull this wagon
Yeah two mules pull this wagon you don't do it by yourself
I know you've got a heavy load but it give you lots of hell
I do my share of pullin' and I don't mean to be bridled
But you seem to forget big boy that two mules pull this wagon
[ guitar - steel ]
Well I guess you think while you're at work I sit and watch TV
But you'd learn different honey if you'd spent one day with me
I'm washin' ironin' cookin' so and find out for your nigher
But you seem to forget big boy that two mules pull this wagon
Yeah two mules pull this wagon...
Yeah you seem to forget big boy that two mules pull this wagon
Darlin' where did all the time go it's two a.m. again
It's time to leave each other's arms and the lyin' to begin
The love would fill you and me with them we'll never find
We're just two lonely people in a loving frame of mind
We're just two lonely people that need the love we found
I'm not man enough to let you go but I just can't put her down
Two lonely people the same need the same time
We're just two lonely people in a loving frame of mind
Two lonely people with too much love too late
Too much to lose anyway we choosed to ever separate
So we'll pretend we'll love and then love would plan another time
We're just two lonely people in a loving frame of mind
[ steel ]
Two lonely people...
I feel like a stranger in this home I share with you
I can't understand this awful change you're going through
But lately I've been watchin' you grow colder every day
And I'd rather be gone than in your way
I'd rather be gone than in your way I'd rather have someone else here in my place
And if I decide on leavin' my world will end today
But I'd rather be gone than in your way
[ piano ]
I'd rather be gone...
