Woke up. In my head I heard your voice saying something. Deep in the fog that was covering me. You said, "Why don't you call or at least call back sometime?".
I wanna be held captive. Forget the way I acted. It's just I'm out of practice. And distracted. . Hold me to this thing, darling. And bring a ladder we'll climb to the rafters.
When I heard about the coming day. Wish I could wake up from the dream. In it I see a family photographed. And there you are tucked in the scene. . And there's a jealous net inside my chest.
Closer than a girl can get to trouble. If she hasn't yet got in it. . Well, it started out like any show. Up from the dark to the light's warm glow. Did you hear that dedication.
Cry, cry darlin'. That's what I do. If you'd leave me with the blues. . Cry, cry darlin'. That's all I do. If it's you I should lose. For me there'd be no sunshine.
Cry, cry, darling, that's what I'd do if you'd leave me with the blues. Cry, cry, darling, that's all I'd do if it's you I should lose. For me, there'd be no sunshine if we should ever part.
My baby come and got me in her mama's Cadillac. We went parkin' by the river near the honeydew patch. She started talkin' 'bout the birds and the bees.
I gave a girl a ride in my wagon. Now she crawled in and took control. She was tired as her mind was draggin'. And I said get some sleep, we'll get on down the road.
Well, I ain't Burt Reynolds and I ain't Tom Selleck. I got mules up the pike and my car's an old relic. I get Chevrolet pay but I got a big smile. 'Cause my little baby loves me Cadillac style.
Oh the crystal chandeliers light up the paintings on your wall. The marble statuets are standing stately in the hall. But will the timely crowd that has you laughing loud help you dry your tears.
Oh it's crying time again you're gonna leave me. I can see that faraway look in your eyes. I can tell by the way you hold me darling that it won't be long before it's crying time.
There's no more common people with no more fields to sow. City ways have swallowed country days and if I'd reep seeds won't grow. The bubbling brook that used to yield it's treasure just for me.
Country music's all around the world I've heard it play in every foreign land. The universal language of the universe something everybody understands.
I heard the front door closing softly. As I weaken from my sleep. With the last touch of her lips. Lord like a whisper on my cheek. . And I cursed the sun for rising.
Way down in Columbus G-e-o-r-g-i-a wanna be back in Tennessee. Way down in Columbus Stockade all of my friends have turned their backs on me. Go on and leave me if you wish to and never let me cross your mind.
Sometimes I go down to old China town and just walk around just wander around. Wherever lights gleam and blue shadows fall just dreaming a dream of my China doll.
Have you ever passed the corner of 4th and Grand. Where a little ball of rhythm has a shoeshine stand. People gather round and they clap their hands he's a great big bungle of joy.
Oh have you ever been down to Haiti when the summer sun was sinkin' low. There's nothin' but romance just everwhere you glance. And the native hearts are all aglow.
It's rainin' cats and dogs. At a diner outside Wichita. Out of money, our of breath. Somewhere in the great Midwest. . It ain't like you'll walk through that door.
Riding the sky, easy to fly. Oh, on a lovely crystal day. Kicking the sun, watching it run. Gee what a lovely crystal day. . Rainbows up here. blows through your hais.
