Tommy Cash, (born April 5, 1940), is a singer-songwriter and younger brother of Johnny Cash.
Cash was born in Dyess, Arkansas, youngest of four sons and three daughters of Ray and Carrie (Rivers) Cash, and eight years after his brother, Johnny Cash. He formed his first band in high school. After high school graduation, he enlisted into the Army. While in the army, he was a disc jockey for the American Forces Radio Network.
After the Army, Cash played with Hank Williams, Jr., and later gained a record deal from Musicor Records in 1965. A year later, he joined United Artists Records and just missed the Country Top 40 in 1968 with “The Sounds of Goodbye.”
In late 1969, while on Epic Records, he delivered his biggest hit, a tune dedicated to John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, entitled, "Six White Horses.” 1970 saw a pair of Top Ten singles, “One Song Away” and "Rise and Shine", written by Carl Perkins. Cash's final Top 20 hit, “I Recall a Gypsy Woman,” was released in 1973.
John R. "Johnny" Cash (February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003), was an American singer-songwriter, actor, and author, who has been called one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Although he is primarily remembered as a country music icon, his songs and sound spanned many other genres including rockabilly and rock and roll—especially early in his career—as well as blues, folk, and gospel. This crossover appeal led to Cash being inducted in the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Gospel Music Hall of Fame.
Cash was known for his deep, distinctive bass-baritone voice; for the "boom-chicka-boom" sound of his Tennessee Three backing band; for his rebelliousness, coupled with an increasingly somber and humble demeanor; for providing free concerts inside prison walls; and for his dark performance clothing, which earned him the nickname "The Man in Black". He traditionally started his concerts by saying, "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash." and usually following it up with his standard "Folsom Prison Blues".

Tommy Cash & George Jones - Some Kind Of A Woman
I was resting the other evening by the side of the road
When I saw an old farmer in the field that he just hold
Oh his face was all brown from the sun and the wind
And he was talking to the Lord just like he'd be talking to a friend
Lord he said with his voice calm and quiet
Them corn tassels need suckin' but I got no strenght to tie it
We had no rain in so long that the fields are mighty dusty
And it's been so unbearable hot the kids were even gettin' fussy
Oh that grass and the pasture it should be knee high
If we could just have a little shower Lord it might keep the calf from going dry
Oh but listen to me talking you'd think I wasn't grateful
If you didn't know me so well Lord you'd think I was down right hateful
I guess you'd think I frogot about that new calf that you sent
And the money in the mail took care of the rent
Mama's cough's better and Billy's home from the navy
And oh that good Sunday dinner of hot biscuits and chicken and gravy
And that new preacher you sent us my Lord he's sure a fine young man
Why he's just convertin' them sinners to beat the band
Well I guess I'll mosey on home now Lord I won't take no more your time
I know there's plenty folks here bout waitin' to ring your line
Evening to you Lord and watch us over tonight
But don't you worry bout us none Lord cause everything is gonna be all right
(Precious sacred seems unfold)
I hear people talkin' bad about the way they have to live here in this country
Runnin' down the wars we fight gripin' about the way things oughta be
I don't mind 'em switchin' sides and standin' up for things that they believe in
When you're runnin' down my country man you're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
Runnin' down a way of life our fightin' men have fought and died to keep
If you don't love it leave it let this song that I'm singin' be a warnin'
When you're runnin' down my country hoss you're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
[ guitar ]
I read about some squirrely guy who claims that he just don't believe in fightin'
And I wonder just how long the rest of us can count on bein' free
They love our milk and honey but they preach about some other way of livin'
When you're runnin' down my country you're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me...
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me...
I swung down from an early freight trying to get my head on straight this morning
I didn't sleep too well last night and every bone and muscle aches today
I can't believe this hungry man with wrinkled clothes and dirty hands is me
You'd never known to look at me that I used to be a family man
Somewhere the woman who once loved me is gettin' up to dress my kids for school
Maybe they won't grow up to hate me or ever know their daddy was a fool
[ ac.guitar ]
It seems I've lost all tracks of time
And the only thoughts to cross my mind're homeward
The thing I dread more than today is to face another cold and grey tomorrow
I've lost my pride and sanity and no one stops or takes the time to know me
I can't say I blame 'em though cause I don't look much like a family man
Somewhere the little girl who needs me is beginning to forget he daddy's face
Somewhere the woman who once loved me
Has turned to kiss the man who's taking my place
Life is just a lonesome road we all must travel down
And each day brings us closer to the end
The average man who walks this road makes no lasting mark
And leaves no tracks to show where he has been
The farmer spends his lifetime working with the land
To feed and clothe the nation that he loves
But he almost goes unnoticed in this busy world today
But he's a man that we should be proud of
You won't see his likeness carved in stone just a little marker's all there'll be
His closest friends and nearest kin will miss him when he's gone
When they forget who'll remember him
[ ac.guitar ]
You'll find him in the wheat fields of our great mid western states
Or picking cotton somewhere in the south
But the working man with calloused hands is just another name
So when he's gone who'll remember him
You won't see his likeness...
When they forget who'll remember him
The old hometown looks the same as I step down from the train
There to meet me is my mama and my papa
Down the road I look and there runs Mary hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green green grass of home
The old house is still standing though the paint is cracked and dry
There's the old oak tree the one that I used to play on
And down the lane I'd walk with my sweet Mary hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green green grass of home
And they'll all come to meet me arms areaching smiling sweetly
It's so good to touch the green green grass of home
Then I awake and I look around me to the four grey walls that surround me
And I realize that well I was I was only dreaming
For there's a guard and there's that sad old padre
Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak
And again I'll touch the green green grass of home
And they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me neath the green green grass of home
As they lay me neath the green green grass of home
Well you won't believe what happened last night on my way home
I stopped at Joe's to have a drink and to call you on the phone
Then I met Bill and Harry and both of them bought a round
Before I knew what happened my head was spinnin' round
From a booth back in a corner this blonde gave me a glance
And I don't know why I did it but I asked her to dance
Then Harry played the jukebox and we all sang along
We were having so much fun how could I think of home
Think of home think of home we were having so much fun how could I think of home
[ ac.guitar ]
Then I said something awful to a stranger at the bar
The next thing I remember they'd carried me to the car
But I know it sounds ridiculous and you think I'm just talkin' smooth
But that's exactly how it happened and honey that's the honest truth
Honey now honey it's the truth really honest baby put down that gun
I'm not lyin' ask Harry ask Bill ask anybody
(bang bang bang bang bang bang)
The king of the jungle is a lion but you kill his freedom once he's in a cage
A man needs a woman he can lean on not one to turn his life page by page
If you don't believe a lemon's bitter try one
If it doesn't soothe your taste throw it away
If you only want a puppet then go by one if that's how it is then I can't stay
Cause every man wants to be a free man not one that's tied to bonds of jealousy
So if you're afraid of losin' me you'll lose me
But not to love but to fear the fear that I might be the man I really want to be
[ guitar ]
I know you don't understand my every move and at times I wish you wouldn't even try
All you need to know is that I love you and I will until the day I die
But every man wants to be a free man...
The fear that I might be the man I really want to be
Here I go ridin' up and down the road with a gang
I bought me a bus and I got me a four piece band
Tonight we played Chicago then travel North Ontario
But I got me a guitar and I'm gonna be a star
Well it's ninety degrees and the airconditioner is broke
This keeps up and we're all levelled a choke
I don't know of John had to go through this
But boy if he did he sure earned his I got me a guitar and I'm gonna be a star
I got me a guitar and I'm gonna be a star
Mighty to learn to play on my own lead guitar
Don't wanna tell jokes to try to be funny
Just sing a little song and make a little money
I got me a guitar and I'm gonna be a star
[ guitar ]
Played the show in Alabama but I was two hours late
And I wrecked the bus when I drove to the gate
The man didn't wanna give me all of my dough but ke said OK when I said oh no
I got me a guitar and I'm gonna be a star
Well we're runnin' late for a show in Abilene
The bus is hard and the boys are sure actin' mean
We're gonna get there bet you a dollar when we come on they'll scream and holler
I got me a guitar and I'm gonna be a star
Yeah I got me a guitar...
Yeah I got me a guitar and I'm gonna be a star
I got me a guitar and I'm gonna be a star
Dear mama I'm coming home tomorrow
If you don't mind would you meet me at the train
Dear mama my wandering days are over and it's so good to be coming home again
Dear mama we'll walk the fields together
And through the valley we'll stroll hand in hand
And I just can't wait to see you and touch the soil of home so clean
But mama I'm not the boy I used to be
For I've been gone away too long I've done everything that's wrong
But I think I've finally found myself at last
And just you wait and see another chance is all I need
Oh but mama I'm not the boy I used to be
For you see mama I've spent some time in prison
For a crime that's so bad I'm just too ashamed to tell
And when you meet me there tomorrow don't be surprised at what you'll see
Oh mama I'm not the boy I used to be
For I've been gone away too long...
I heard you call my name dear Lord thank you for forgivin' me my shame dear Lord
But I'm still not the man that you want me to be
But please Lortd just don't give up on me
Draw me closer to your side each day oh lead me and guide me along my way
Reveal to me the things I must see but please Lortd just don't give up on me
Oh oh oh the devil knows he knows I'm weak
And he's always in the talkin' Lord when you're trying to speak
Help me carry a word across this great land
I need the strenght and power I get from the touch of your precious hand
Help me break the devil's chains and set my wicked soul free
But please Lortd just don't give up on me
Oh no no no no please Lortd just don't give up on me
Play your piano pick your guitar sing me a song while I sat at the bar
Soon there'll be smiles replacing my frowns
Play a song pick me up while I go down down down
I come here to drink most every night cause I've got a heartache to lose
If there was another way to forget that other way I would choose
Play your piano pick your guitar...
While I go down down down
Oh I'm packin' all the loneliness I'm not leavin' any sad regrets
I'll wash my mem'ries from hallways of your mind
And the way you should remember me is like a page of history
Cause I'm leaving your world a better place to live
Walk through the roses in the garden before the morning sun is shining
Where you gave me every reason I had to live
That ain't dew on the petal it's the tears I lost while leaving
While leaving your world a better place to love
If you see a shodow along the highway that's just me a going my way
Cause I'm too proud to show my face in the sun
And when evening coming on like a shadow I'll soon be gone
Cause I'm leaving your world a better place to live
Walk through the roses in the garden...
So you're tired of America
You're tired of having clothes to wear and shoes on your feet and enough to eat
You're fed up with the unpretendity to find a job and make at last a decent living
You wanna change it all revolutionize demonstrate march fight in the streets
And you want me to join you
Well we'd better stand upon our feet we'd better think before we speak
These are the things that make the nation weak
So you're sick of our flag to you the Red White and Blue no longer stands
Old Glory the symbol of freedom has lost its meaning
Bring old Glory down stop it burn it turn your back on it bring it down to stay
And while you're making a fireburn and growing long hair
Your brother has died in Vietnam you forgot that you are an American
Well we'd better stand upon our feet...
Oh have we thought about what we can do for our country
Instead of trying to make it weak
Have we thought about what the black men and the white men
Can do together I don't mean in the streets
Have we thought about those who have no arms and legs to fight with
And those who can't speak what would been done for them
Have we thought about what we can do them prove our schools
Instead of trying to degrade them
Whom we're trying them press anyway ourselves or our friends
What difference would it make fifty years from now to us
But what about the child you're wearing
Or is the hammer and sickle more pealing to you than the symbol of freedom
Well we'd better stand upon our feet...
So grow long hair wear dirty clothes curse the police
Burn your draftcard destroy our flag dishonor our nation
Hedgehop an airplane march in the streets
Forger that you're an American destroy yourself and I'll see you in hell
Cause that's what it's gonna be like after we're through
The great eagle no longer flies but lies dead in the south
And the great nation that wing falls with it
No I love America and so do you if you'll admit it
But we'd better stand upon our feet...
No you're not tired of America because you're not tired of being free
Your sweet love has made me the man that I am
Your smiles and your kisses are my helping hand
And as long as you love me I'll always be true I owe the world to you
Yes I owe the world to you yes I do my weakness draws carriage from you
And I'm no longer down on the wrong side of town yes I owe the world to you
[ piano ]
There were times when my dreams and my goals seemed to be
I hope in the prayer with no reality
Then you came along to help me get through and I owe the world to you
Yes I owe the world to you...
Yes I owe the world to you
I always thought if I'd lost you I'd die
Well now that time has come we've said goodbye
I know I won't forget but I'll forgive and if the world don't end I guess I'll live
I know now losing you's not gonna kill me although at times I guess I wish it would
And I know I'll miss the lips that used to thrill me
But the lesson that I've learned will do me good
Any heart could sometimes go astray and I know that I should look at this that way
And I know that I gave all I could give so if the world don't end I guess I'll live
[ ac.guitar ]
I know now losing you's not gonna kill me...
So if the world don't end I guess I'll live
So this is love I've never been here before
And when I leave I won't come back anymore
For everything I've met since I've been here has only brought me pain
So when I leave I won't come back again
Well here I am on the corner of Heart and Mind
And the citizens of love are running blind
Reckon one another's hearts and cryin' all the while
Just like pain was goin' out of style
So this is love...
[ trumpet - ac.guitar ]
Where shoud I go from the corner of Heart and Mind
Love is in the state of confusion all the time
Heartaches are always present makes no difference where you turn
And the taxes take what happiness you earn
So this is love...
So when I leave I won't come back again
So when I leave I won't come back again
Well hey hey workin' man workin' man like me
Never been on welfare that's the place I'll never be
I'll keep on workin' as long as my two hands are fit to use
I'll drink a little beer in a tavern sing a little bit of them workin' man blues yeah
Well it's a big job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wife
I've been a workin' man dang near all my life
And I'll keep on workin' as long as my two hands are fit to use (fit to use)
I'll drink a little beer in a tavern sing a little bit of them workin' man blues
(Now play me a little workin' man that guitar son pick it)
[ guitar ]
I'll keep my nose in the grindstone I'll work hard everyday
Get a little tired on the weekend after I draw my pay
But I'm right back workin' come Monday morning I'm right back with that crew
(Right back with that crew)
I'll drink a little beer in a tavern sing a little bit of them workin' man blues yeah
Sometimes I think about leaving do a little bummin' around
Throw my bills out the window catch a train to another town
But I go back workin' I gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes
I'll drink a little beer in a tavern sing a little bit of them workin' man blues yeah
Little children do not worry cause you still got lots of time
There's no need in walking backwards turn around and rise and shine
If your load always seems heavy and you're always left behind
Pick yourself up from the ground and jump right back and rise and shine
Rise and shine in the early morning shine your light off through the day
Makes no difference what they tell you stand right up and have your say
Cause the good Lord said he loved you and through him you're strict you're fine
Even though the world may use you turn around and rise and shine
[ ac.guitar - trumpet ]
Look at how they did for Jesus while they nailed him to a cross
But he died up there on calvary so the world would not be lost
So don't matter how they treat you if they slap you in the face
Just remember Jesus loves you and on the cross he took your place
Rise and shine in the early morning...
Rise and shine in the early morning...
Love is a burning thing and it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire I fell into a ring of fire
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down down down the flames went higher
And it burns burns burns the ring of fire the ring of fire
The taste of love is sweet when hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child oh but the fire went wild
I fell into a burning ring of fire...
[ steel ]
Oh the taste of love is sweet...
And it burns burns burns the ring of fire the ring of fire
She's got my love and gone again got my love and gone again
Got my love and gone again that woman's as wild as wild wild wind
I woke up and placed my hand where she oughta be
But there was just an empty pillow looking back at me
I know I love that woman more than anybody can
But it's so hard to love someone with a doorknob in her hand
She's got my love and gone again...
[ guitar ]
I looked out my window and what did I see
Nothing but my baby's footprints a walkin' away from me
She said she was sorry and she'd come home to stay
And we'd make up our lost time loss but that was yesterday
She's got my love and gone again...
I'm going down to Feather River Canyon gotta go down Donner Summit is closed
Another eighty miles and I sure am lonesome cause I'll be late gettin' home
Roll truck roll take me to my baby I'm tired of bein' alone
Roll truck roll I wanna see my baby roll me truck roll me on home
One of these days I'm gonna quit this old road when I've saved enough money
Gonna buy me a place back home and live a little just me and my kids and my honey
Mama said that little Tom is not doing too well in school
Said he keeps talking about his daddy that he hardly knows
The teacher said that he just sits at his desk all day and draws the pictures of trucks
I guess I know what that means and what it shows
Why I'm not home three months out of the year
And here lately it's showing on me too
Oh I saw a lot of the country at first and I really like it then
But anymore there's just none of it new
Oh what a long old haul this has been and that rain most of the way
And now it's beginning to pour
Sure looks cold that wind blowing up through that canyon
But I gotta keep my spirits up so I guess I'll just sing a little more
I'm going down to Feather River Canyon...
Lady I love you I really love you I want you to spend your life with me
Lady I love you no one's above you I need your love to make my life complete
Life's too short to live it lonely the road of life's too hard to walk alone
To take my hand and walk it with me don't look back and just be movin' on
Lady I love you I really love you...
[ steel ]
We find true love peace and happiness we wouldn't trade that for all the best
A wordly pleasures gold and treasures so stand beside me your sweet love guides me
Lady I love you I really love you...
I need your love to make my life complete
Oh what I'd give to be with my Mary
To hold her close and walk again through meadows green
To see again the tender love light shining from her eyes
To walk among the ones I love but jailbirds can't fly
Oh what I'd give to see my old dad and mom
It seems that I can hear them saying hurry home my son
I can feel the soft lips of my Mary as we kissed goodbye
I long to fly straight to her arms but jailbirds can't fly
No it can't be no not for me these walls are too high and jailbirds can't fly
Tomorrow when dawn comes and they sat me in that chair
Soon I'll be with my Mary but I'll no longer care
Then they'll place me on that big silver plane that sails the homeward skies
But from the walls of that pinebox jailbirds can't fly
No it can't be no not for me these walls are too high and jailbirds can't fly
I'd love to shout my feelings from a mountain high
To tell the world I love her and I will till I die
But we're livin' in a world that don't know love is colorblind
And that's why Irma Jackson can't be mine
I remember no one cared about us being friends
We were only children and it really didn't matter then
But we grew up too quickly in a world that draws a line
That tells me Irma Jackson can't be mine
If lovin' Irma Jackson is a sin then I don't understand this crazy world we're livin' in
There's a mighty wall between us standing high but I'll love Irma Jackson till I die
[ dobro ]
She tells me she's decided that she'll go away
I guess it's right that she alone should have the final say
But in spite of her decision forcin' us to say goodbye
I'll still love Irma Jackson till I die
Yes lovin' Irma Jackson is a sin...
I'll love Irma Jackson till I die
I won't go searching for a new love I know I could never find
Cause since you walked into my would you've been the ruler of my life
When you hold me I can feel your love so true and real
And in your arms is still the only place for me
In your arms is still the only place for me
Oh in your arms is where I'll always want to be
And you don't need to worry cause your love is all I need
And in your arms is still the only place for me
[ piano ]
When I wake up every morning I find an angel by my side
I live my life for you because you keep me satisfied
It takes you to make me happy I want everyone to see
That in in your arms is still the only place for me
In your arms is still the only place for me...
In your arms is still the only place for me
Every time it rains Lawd I run to my window all I do is ring my hands and moan
Listen to that thunder roll and I can hear that lonesome wind blow
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
Tell me baby why you been gone so long you been gone so long now
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
The wolf is scratching at my door and I can hear that lonesome wind moan
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
Someone said they thought they saw you roaring down in Reno
With a big oil man from San Antone
They tell me I'm a fool to pine for you but what do they know
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
Tell me baby why you been gone so long...
There ain't nothing I wanna do I guess I could get stoned
And let the past paint pictures on my head
Kill a fifth of Thunderbird and try to write a sad song
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
Tell me baby why you been gone so long...
Tell me baby why you been gone so long...
I just sit and count the pieces of what used to be my heart
And each day the pain increases since we're apart
As I stand amidst the ruin I can see my one mistake
When you fall as hard as I did something has to break
I have spent my time in heaven in the world of your embrace
But you're gone and now I'm lifted by other place
I keep wishing I was dreaming but I know I'm wide awake
And when you fall as hard as I did something has to break
No one else could love you better but that's not enough I know
Though the rain falls in the desert nothing will grow
Even though my world's been shuttered I accept it as my fate
When you fall as hard as I did something has to break
When you fall as hard as I did something has to break
Folks sit around with their face in a frown and gape about the way things they are
They're happy to recieve but they hardly ever want to give
Well I'm so tired of complaining so in the time remaining
I'm gonna do my best to make the world a better place to live
I'm gonna write a song that the whole wide world can sing
It's gonna be about sunshine praise every living thing
It's gonna be about love the one thing the world needs a lot more of
I'm gonna write a song that the whole wide world can sing
[ piano - ac.guitar ]
All our fourfathers had only faith in God and they willed to make the nation strong
So the old time religion could help 'em to find a better way
We need more soul saving and a lot more people flag waving
And there's no better time for us to start than today
I'm gonna write a song...
Let me tell ye I'm gonna write a song...
Everybody sing I'm gonna write a song...
Down every road there's always one more city
I'm on the run the highway is my home
Well I raised a lot of cane back in my younger days
While mama used to pray my crops would fail
Now I'm a hunted fugitive with just two ways outrun the law or spend my life in jail
I'd like to settle down but they won't let me oh a fugitive must be a rolling stone
Down every road there's always one more city
I'm on the run the highway is my home
[ steel ]
I'm lonely but I can't afford the luxury of having one I love to come along
She'd only slow me down and they'd catch up to me
For he who travels fastest goes alone
I'd like to settle down...
I'm on the run the highway is my home
I can buy Rebecca no new ribbons we can't take no Sunday walks
The kids would cry for icecream and I'd be broke cause I've been laid off
All I know is Kentucky coal mines but they've got that new machine
And it does my job and does it better and it don't knock off for bread and beans
A machine can work all day and night and its back don't ever ache
It's got no kids that want no a tater no wife to wish for a steak
So it don't make a company man a beggin' for a nickel raise
That machine's a perfect miner fateful John has been replaced
I've spent years and years in tunnels and I fought Satan over coal
I stole this fuel for making brown stones when I left this fire was low
But mighty deeds don't matter here where Mr Coal is king
He'll lay me off next Friday night then hire that new machine
That machine can work all day and night and it's never got a gripe
It won't cuss and call the union hall or advocate the strike
Cause it don't care if water fountains don't run cold and clean
So they don't want me because I'm human they just want that new machine
I'd like to get my hands on some of them new machines
The constitution stands up for the difference of opinion
But rights have been misused with disrespect
Today the USA has got a cancer in her spirit
And she needs the hearts of those that she protects
I'm speaking out against the ones who claimed that they want peace
Against the ones who boo our president
Against the ones who want to take but never want to give
Against distructive hands that never built
They open up their intellectual mouth and scoff at wisdom
They nest on eggs of trouble till they hatch
The message that they wave is not the message of our flag
Unpatriotic itchin' needs a patriotic scratch
[ guitar ]
I wonder how much longer we can proudly pledge aligions
And stand up when our nation anthem plays
Before the infidel protest that their superior knowledge
Is embarassed by our foolish backward faith
Behind the scarps of peace objectors rage against the war
They're free because of men who fought and prayed
If our country is mistreating them I wonder why they stay
Boats and planes are leaving every day
They open up their intellectual mouth...
Glory glory hallelujah glory glory hallelujah
Glory glory hallelujah this proof is marching on
In Boston Gold upon the door you'll find three famous names
Of a lawfirm known quite well by all
It's said that they can get you off no matter what you've done
Abercrombie Morganster and Hall
Take the case not long ago of the People versus Smith
Who was accused of making alcohol
But the famous three dug up some names and they judge dismissed the case
For Abercrombie Morganster and Hall
Somewhow the scales of justice always seems to tip their way
Now I'm not saying that they stretch the law
I'm just saying that for years they haven't lost a case
Abercrombie Morganster and Hall
[ dobro ]
The tree always draws a crowd when they freeze in the case
People come to laugh and have a ball
You've never seen such carrying on an acting in yout life
It's Abercrombie Morganster and Hall
Now you don't need the reference for them to take your case
All you need's a dime on place to call
For freedom ---- just send your money to
Abercrombie Morganster and Hall
Somewhow the scales of justice...
Abercrombie Morganster and Hall
Sometimes I want to throw my arms around you
Then I tremble at the thought of giving in
Because I know how much it cost to love you but I'm so afraid of losing you again
Being close to you revives the sorrow that wakes me up and tells me I can't win
I'd love to wake up in your arms tomorrow but I'm so afraid of losing you again
[ steel ]
If heaven were to hear my heart's confession wanting you would be my greatest sin
But I'm glad that you're no longer my possession
Cause I'm so afraid of losing you again
Being close to you revives the sorrow...
I'm so afraid of losing you again
Last night all alone in a barroom met a girl with a drink in her hand
She had ruby red lips and coal black hair and eyes that would tempt any man
Then she came and sat down at my table and as she placed her soft hands in mine
I've found myself wanting to kiss her for temptation was flowing like wine
And I was almost persuaded to strip myself of my pride
Almost persuaded to push my conscience aside
Then we danced and she whispered I need you
Take me away from here and be my man
Then I looked into her eyes and I saw it the reflection of my wedding band
I was almost persuaded to let strange lips lead me on
Almost persuaded but your sweet love made me stop and go home
Just a tattered photograph of a pretty face that loved to last
Not much of a souvenir it's through but that's all I've got to show for loving you
Just a pretty face that laughed at me and said that our love could never be
Don't know why I keep that picture but I do
And that's all I've got to show for loving you
I look at your picture and I dream a little while
There's so many mem'ries ingraved in your smile
With your new love you're happy as can be oh I wish I could say the same for me
But for me nobody else could ever do and that's all I've got to show for loving you
Yes that's all I've got to show for loving you
When I first met Becky at the home of a mutual friend I'd've laughed out loud
If you'd have told me then I'd fall in love with a silly little girl
Who got carried away carried away with every little thing
Like for instance Becky would go crazy over fashions and fads and shriek with joy
And get overly glad and play the radio too loud all the time
And get carried away carried away when some big star would sing
But I loved sweet Becky even though she could make me so mad
Cause I knew darned well
She was the best I had and even when I saw she joined with the crowd
And got carried away carried away learnin' to do her thing
But I still loved Becky and I tried to make her realize
That the joys she found were sorrow and disguise
Pretty soon all the speed would addict
And she'd get carried away carried away and go too far again
When I first net Becky at the home of a mutual friend I'd've laughed out loud
If you'd have told me then I'd see that sweet little girl in an old gray casket
And get carried away carried away to hear the angels sing
Yesterday I had a future and I was happy
I had your love and the whole wide world was mine
I had money to spend and a woman who called me darling
Yes but that was before I found the wine
Before I found the wine my life had meaning
There were happy days at my house all the time
I remeber when you told me I hung the moon and made you sunhine
Yes that was before I found the wine
[ guitar ]
I wish that I could go back to your world
Hold you close to me and know that you are mine
And I wish that I could hear you say I love you
Just the way you did before I found the wine
Before I found the wine...
Yes but that was before I found the wine
(Deep in the heart od Ann)
I know now a man can't own a woman but I came as close as anybody can
For once there was nothing but worship for me deep in the heart of Ann
If you throw away one stone at a time in time
You can level a mountain with your bare hands
And I tore down a mountain of love just for me deep in the heart of Ann
But I know someday no matter how long it may be
Ann will forgive me if she can and she can
Oh there still got to be a small part of me deep in the heart of Ann
Yes there still got to be a small part of me deep in the heart of Ann
If you ever see me starin' at birds flyin' to south
And you call my name I don't answer
If you ever catch me searchin' through the closet in the hall
For that old beatup decode covered suitcase
If my walks take me further from the house every day
And at night my mind is a million miles away
Take me in your arms and baby hold me strong
Cause your loving takes the leaving yes your loving takes the leaving out of me
[ ac.guitar ]
When the autumn leaves start fallin' and swirlin' through the streets
And you feel a lonely wind in our room
And you look into my eyes and see the distand pleading wink
Of a dream I was chasing when I met you
Nothing's changed I still love you just as much as before
But if you wake up some night and I'm heading for the door
Take me in your arms...
Yes your loving takes the leaving yes your loving takes the leaving out of me
Lately you spent a lot of time at parties
Your head held high in a world of make believe
You don't hear a word that I tell you and I can see you no longer care for me
You don't hear a word that I'm saying I may as well be talking to the ceiling
I want you to know how much I love you I talk to you all the time but you don't hear
[ guitar ]
If you'd stop for a minute and listen or you'd save yourself a lot of tears
Your party pals won't love you like I do I try to tell you but you don't hear
You don't hear the word that I'm saying...
I talk to you all the time but you don't hear
Here's a song I love to sing it's about the girl who wears my ring
And even though she's tempted she knows I'll make sure that she gets everything
Cause when she's cold she knows I'm warm and I warm her in my arms
And when she's sad oh I make her glad and I'm her shelter from the storm
I'm her song when she feels like singing and I swing when she feels like swinging
I don't know what she does that's right but it makes me come home at night
And when I'm home she makes sure I'm never alone
And that's why I keep singing my song
And when I'm home she makes sure I'm never alone
And that's why I keep singing my song
Mhm some folks drink and some folks smoke and some folks love and some folks don't
Some folks laugh and some folks frown folks hear then they gun you down
Goodbye John six white horses come to take you home
Goodbye John they took you away before you sang your song hmm
Some preach wrong and some preach right and some preach love and some preach fight
Takes every kind to make that world go round takes one to gun you down
Goodbye Martin six white horses come to take you home
Goodbye Reverend they took you away before you sang your song hmm
Some people stick pretty close to home others're born with that urge to roam
Welcome welcome to our town hope nobody tries to gun you down
Goodbye Bobby six white horses come to take you home
Goodbye Robert they took you away before you sang your song hmm
Goodbye John and goodbye Martin and goodbye Bobby
Well they took you away before you sang your song
I have been all around this old world held the hand and kiss the lips of pretty girls
But no matter what I do I still want to be with you
Cause I'm nowhere nowhere without you
I'm nowhere without you and life's not worth living
When you're not by my side with that sweet love you give me
Oh I know I've been a fool but I'll make it up to you
Cause I'm nowhere nowhere without you
[ ac.guitar ]
Now I'll spend all my time by your side we'll live again and love at once nearly dying
And I won't let schemes interfere with my dreams
Cause I'm nowhere nowhere without you
I'm nowhere without you...
Last night I went to bed with my head on a street corner curb
Some kinda fool kicked me awake and I thought it was an elephant herd
Well I made it to flathouse paid my last to lay my body down
Check out time came too soon be broken and blew downton
And I said hey hey woman come see what's left to your man
Hey hey woman come see what's left to your man
Yeah I woke up this morning had me two hundred dollars with the shakes
Took me two days to drink up a check but it took me two weeks to make
Well I got two days of whiskers gotta have a drink before I shave
I'm shakin' so bad and I'm cut and thrown and I ain't ready for my grave
And I say hey hey woman...
Well if I ever get back on my feet I ain't never gonna drink no more gin
Hey there boy show me a little mercy let my head mole jump back again
Well all right you stufferin' fools I'm a best worker you ever had
If you don't want me diggin' in your ditch it sure ain't gonna make me mad
I say hey hey woman...
Hey hey woman...
Hey hey woman...
Looking back you and I remember all the times we thought our love was dyin'
But even then breaking up we'd find just enough to turn around and keep on tryin'
And this time I think we're gonna make it this time is strong enough we can shake it
Hold me close and never let me go make forever always like tonight
(You and I we took a long long time) oh I think we finally got it right
[ dobro ]
Thinking back we both know we could have let it go once or twice we almost did it
But it's love in the end that makes you try again and you keep on tryin' till you get it
And this time we've got it all together this time we're gonna make it last forever
Hold me close...
Oh I think we finally got it right
I was born in a dump mama died and my daddy got drunk
Left me here to die or grow in the middle of Tobacco Road
Grew up in a dirty shack all I owned was a hangin' on my back
Lord knows how I loathe this place called Tobacco Road
But it's home the only life I've ever known yeah I can't help but loathe Tobacco Road
Gonna leave and get a job with the help and the grace of God
Save my money get rich I know bring it back to Tobacco Road
Bring dynamite and a crane blow it up and start all over again
Build a town be proud to show keep the name Tobacco Road
Cause it's home the only life I've ever known
I despite you cause you're filthy but I love you cause you're home
I promised you the world before we were marrying now maybe you think I let you down
The address where we live you're ashamed to give to our old friends in town
It hurts when you cry and you won't tell me why
Are you sure you want to see it through
Then baby stand by me and soon you're gonna see our hopes and dreams come true
We're climbing up up higher we're gonna set the world on fire
Today we may be down but tomorrow
We're climbing up up up to the top of this town to the top of this town
Those bargain store dresses you can give 'em to your sidter
You won't need them anymore
You can stop saving stamps and that old broken lamp you can throw it out the door
In your arms I'm a king I can do anything if you love me as much as I love you
Then baby stand by me and soo you're gonna see our hopes and dreams come true
We're climbing up up higher...
Roll over in bed and clutch a pillow in my arms that's where my baby used to be
She'd snuggle close I keep her safe and warm that's where my baby used to be
That's where my baby used to be that's where my baby used to be
Everywhere I turn I find the memory that's where my baby used to be
Across the kitchen table there's an empty chair that's where my baby used to be
It almost seems I still can see her there that's where my baby used to be
That's where my baby used to be...
[ guitar ]
I walk down the street with just a shadow by my side
That's where my baby used to be
My arms are so empty now and I'm just satisfied that's where my baby used to be
That's where my baby used to be...
That's where my baby used to be
This song's about love and understanding about someone who turned my skies to blue
To a girl who gave the reasons to go on living
Yes sweetheart this song belongs to you
This song belongs to you and you alone I've got everything I'll ever need at home
You know how to love me and you do
That's why sweetheart this song belongs to you
[ steel ]
You know how to keep my world turning
You took the clouds away and now the sun shines through
You taught me about love and I'm still learning yes sweetheart this song belongs to you
This song belongs to you and you alone...
That's why sweetheart this song belongs to you
(With only a little more time a little more time)
Every once in a while there's someone whose life is like a comet flashin' across the sky
Men with great talent with things to tell us
And it seems like all too soon those kinds seem to die
Now Stephen Foster was one of these gifted people
He's down to earth songs turned the whole world on
But then like most people who are sent here on a mission
All too soon young Stephen was gone
A little more time a little more time oh the songs he might have wrote
Tender words and pretty notes with only a little more time
Another man I feel was sent here on a mission was John F Kennedy
A man loved and respected I guess by just about everybody
And I suppose we were all guilty of takin' him for granted
His love for humanity and the fine things that he done
Now he wanted this to be a better world but all too soon this great man died
And as we gathered around our radios that afternoon
The whole world stopped a little while and it cried
A little more time a little more time so much to do so little done
But the victory's he might have won with only a little more time
And looking back down the pages of history
The greatest influence for good there ever was was Jesus
And his spite of all the obstacles in his way
Look at the legacy of hope that you gave us
And as I look around me at those who live by his teachings
And bless the day of his birth
I can't help but feel this would be a whole lot better world
If he could have spent a little more time here on this earth
A little more time a little more time
Peace on earth might really be today if only he had just had a little more time
Up in the morning out on my job and I work like a devil for my pay
Oh that lucky old sun ain't got nothing to do but roll around heaven all day
I fuss with my woman and I toil with my kids
And I work till I'm wrinkled and gray
Oh that lucky old sun ain't got nothing to do but roll around heaven all day
Oh Lord above can't you see that I'm pinin' teardrops're streamin' from my eyes
Tossing down my cloud with that silvery linin' and lift me to paradise
Show me that river and take me across wash all my troubles away
Oh that lucky old sun ain't got nothing to do but roll around heaven all day
Oh Lord above...
Oh that lucky old sun ain't got nothing to do but roll around heaven all day
She still makes my coffee in my favorite cup
And serves it with kisses when she wakes me up
I still send her roses and I called her my own
Our house is still a home but love is gone
I take her to parties and we dine out with friends
Our smiles still fool them they can't see the end
I play with my children like nothing is wrong
Our house is still a home but love is gone
Love love sweet love is gone we're still together but together alone
She still calls me darling and I play along our house is still a home but love is gone
Love love sweet love is gone...
I searched so long for love and understanding
Someone to share my dreams as I grow old
And now that I found you and I held my arms around you
I don't ever intend to let you go
So darling love me love me that's all that I ask of you
Just love me love me and I'll give all my love to you
You're lovelier than all the words and music
To all the songs the world will ever sing
And with you to walk beside me no clouds can ever hide me
From the sunshine that just one smile can bring
So darling love me love me...
Some people that I know have the opinion that married life is not the way to go
They compared to being in a prison well if they're right I won't them all to know
I'm livin' in Lovenworth livin' in Lovenworth and doin' time with her's not bad at all
I'm livin' in Lovenworth livin' in Lovenworth and me and the warden have a ball
The warden wakes me up with morning kisses three little inmates pull me out of bad
Hard labor in the backyard on the weekends and all the boys around here call me dad
I'm livin' in Lovenworth...
[ guitar ]
Kisses are the bars that keep me in this place
The walls are lovin' arms that hold me tight
I guess I could be free if I wanted to be but I like the way the warden say goodnight
I'm livin' in Lovenworth...
Yeah me and the warden have a ball
Well ten years ago on a cold dark night someone was killed neath the town's hall light
There were few at the scene but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me
The judge said son what is your alibi you're somewhere else then you won't have to die
Well I spoke not a word though it meant my life
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife
She walks these hills in a long black veil she visits my grave when the night winds wail
Oh nobody knows and nobody sees nobody knows but me
[ ac.guitar ]
The scaffold is high and eternity near she stood in the crowd but she shed not a tear
And sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
She stands o'er my grave and weeps for my bones
She walks these hills...
Oh nobody knows but me oh nobody knows but me
Beare of bad news carrier of good news you never know what's in his pack
When you've got bills due he hands you the sad news
From that letter pouch slung from his back
No matter what the weather is rain sleet or snow
Even when the going's rough the mail still has to go
Even though his feet hurt he's still got a job to do
Making sure the mail gets through to you
[ fiddle ]
He wapes through a long week the bad dogs with sharp teets
And there's complaints he has to listen to
I thank you and a soft smile make it all seem worth while
When folks recieve a monthly check that's due
You stay in touch with folks at home through letters that he brings
And pictures in an envelope show how the families changed
When you write a letter to someone who's in love with you
He's the one who gets your message through
No matter what the weather is...
Making sure the mail gets through to you
Well darling today I came back to the town where we used to live and love together
With a love that I thought would always last but now it's gone forever
Oh I see a million memories but there's no love left to be found
I hope my mind don't break while I take a little walk through Memory Town
Mem'ry Town with the smell of her perfume still in the air
As I dream of yesterday I see her everywhere
I talk to friends that we knew they say she's happy now
I hope I don't see you while passing through this place called Mem'ry Town
[ ac.guitar ]
Mem'ry Town with the smell of her perfume...
I hope I don't see you while passing through this place called Mem'ry Town
We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee we don't take our trips on LSD
We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street
Cause we like living right and being free
We don't make a party out of loving but we like holding hands and pitching woo
We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy like the hippies out in San Francisco do
And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
A place where even squares can have a ball
We still wave Ol' Glory down at the courthouse
And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all
[ steel ]
Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear
Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen
Football's still the roughest thing on campus
And the kids here still respect the college dean
And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee...
And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all
I'm just one song away from bein' home I'm one song away from bein' home
I've got one more verse to do and if the crowd'll let me through
I'm just one song away from bein' home
Every hotel clerk looks like the last and most girls are just waiting to be asked
Every town looks the same and there's no more new names
And the future looks worse than the past
But I'm just one song away...
[ ac.guitar ]
All the words to my songs lose their meaning
All the dressing rooms seem to need cleaning
Every town has different weather all the days run together
But I have to smile and knock out my routine
But I'm just one song away...
I'm just one song away...
The unknown soldier's turning in his grave
Has our country gone so far it can't be saved
Will its liberty ever smile again what was built by God will it be destroyed by man
I see Washington at Valleyport Jacksaon at New Orleans
Jim Bowie at the Alamo they all had a common dream
I see everyone in the whole wide world united as a peaceful race
If we don't heed the call this nation's gonna fall like the tears on Lincoln's face
The prince of peace walked among us long ago
He warned us that we'd reap just what we sowed
We no longer have the faith of a mustard seed
Cause we're sowing anger hate and greed
I see Washington at Valleyport...
I see Washington at Valleyport...
Silver wings shining in the sunlight roaring engines headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away and leaving me lonely silver wings slowly fading out of sight
Don't leave me I cried don't take that airplane ride
But you locked me out of your mind left me standing here behind
Silver wings shining in the sunlight...
[ guitar ]
Silver wings shining in the sunlight...
Silver wings slowly fading out of sight
Well it's all been said and done she made her choice and he's the one
And like the blues I'm back again I need a friend take me in
Take me in your arms sweet lady hold me tight make it right
Only your sweet love can save me take me in take me in
So many time you've been a comfort to my soul
Time after time I took the love you gave for granted but now I know
You're the one who always cared I'll make it up to you I swear
If you can only try again oh say you can take me in
Take me in your arms sweet lady...
Take me in your arms sweet lady...
Take me in please take me in
I don't want to disappoint you I hate to see you cry
But I've got to move along or I'll die
I never could stand still and I guess I never will
Like the wind I'm the ramblin' kind like the wind I'm the ramblin' kind
I know you wonder where I go and if I could I'd tell you so
I'll ride a line at times to let you know
Now don't you sit and cry the tears just burn your eyes
Hold your head high and watch the time fly by
I'm the ramblin' kind running free wild and blind like the wind I'm the ramblin' kind
[ guitar ]
I may be back some day if I can find my way
Look for me but don't hope that I'll stay
I told you when we met that you should not forget
Like the wind I'm the ramblin' kind like the wind I'm the ramblin' kind
I'm the ramblin' kind running free wild and blind like the wind I'm the ramblin' kind
Like the wind I'm the ramblin' kind
