Morris Mac Davis (born January 21, 1942), known as Mac Davis, is a country music singer, songwriter and actor, originally from Lubbock, Texas, who has enjoyed much crossover success. His early work writing for Elvis Presley produced the hits "Memories", "In the Ghetto", and "A Little Less Conversation". A subsequent solo career in the 1970s produced hits, such as "Baby, Don't Get Hooked on Me" making him a well-known name in pop music. He also starred in his own variety show, a Broadway musical, and various films and TV shows.
Davis became famous as a songwriter, and got his start as an employee of Nancy Sinatra's company, Boots Enterprises, Inc. Davis was with Boots for several years in the late 1960s. During his time there, he played on many of Sinatra's recordings, and she worked him into her stage shows. Boots Enterprises also acted as Davis' publishing company, publishing songs such as "In the Ghetto", "Friend, Lover, Woman, Wife", "Home", "It's Such a Lonely Time of Year", and "Memories", which were recorded by Elvis Presley, Nancy Sinatra, B. J. Thomas, and many others. Davis left Boots Enterprises in 1970 to sign with Columbia Records, taking all of his songs with him.

Mac Davis Texas In My Rear View Mirror
If you add all the love in the world
Take away the hate and the pain
There'll still be some love left over
And that's what gives us hope
Nothing that's grown from love alone
Could ever see the bad side
They're on the right side of love
Completely
And some people live by love alone
Others live by hate
Me, I just stay in between
Cause I know
If you add all the love in the world
Take away the hate and the pain
There'll still be some love left over
There'll still be some love left over
And if you add all the times that you heal
Take away all the times that you don't
There'll still be some love left over
And that's what gives us hope
If you've got a plan for living, man
You better get things moving
Or you'll be losing your way to freedom
And some people tell the world about love
And others just say nothing
Me, I just stay in between
Cause I know
If you add all the love in the world
Take away the hate and the pain
There'll still be some love left over
There'll still be some love left over
And if you add all the times that you heal
And take away all the times that you don't
There'll still be some love left over
And that's what gives us hope
If you add all the love in the world
Take away the hate and the pain
