Now there's a man you'll hear about. Most anywhere you go,. And his holdings are in Texas. And his name is Diamond Joe.. . And he carries all his money.
Don't be a stranger. If you're looking for a friend. If you want an even break. You've got to learn to bend. . You don't have a song. If you don't know how to sing.
I was feelin' depressed I was feelin real low down. I felt so bad I could not get my butt up off the grounds. I was mopin' around the house I was bumpin' into walls.
I played the Red River Valley. He'd sit in the kitchen and cry. Run his fingers through seventy years of livin'. "I wonder, Lord, has every well I've drilled gone dry?".
I'd play the Red River Valley. And he'd sit out in the kitchen and cry. And run his fingers through seventy years of livin'. And wonder, "Lord, has ever' well I've drilled run dry?".

You hung your hopes on a crooked nail. Dropped your dreams down a rusted pail. A little broken china coffee cup. Could hold what's left of what you still won't give up.
Born out in the country, raised out on a farm. Got my education out behind a barn. Left one Sunday morning in a driving rain. Hitchhiked to the freight yard and caught the railroad train.
Do you want to live in glory, up in glory. Oh dear friend forever more, forever more. Do you want a life eternal, life eternal. Somewhere on that golden shore.
I was headed north on Highway Five. On a star-lit Sunday night. When a pick-up truck flew by me out of control. As I watched in my headlights. He swerved left then back right.
Drinkin' dark whiskey,. Tellin' white lies,. One leads to another,. On a Saturday night,. Don't ya cross your heart,. Unless you hope to die,. Drinkin' dark whiskey,.
Drop, raindrop fallin' from the sky like magic. Can ya feel it in the air. Drop, you oughta drop on by 'cause it's warm inside. And there's a storm out there.
Well my friend you ask me what to do. If I were you, and feeling blue. I know inside that you still care. You want her here, but she's out there. . Don't leave her lonely too long.
Desperation's causing me,. To question every single word you say,. The distance that keeps growing in between us,. Girl just leaves me so afraid,. Well you tried so hard to carry on,.
When your phone rings. When there's a late night knock at your door. When you slow dance, when you hold hands. When you're looking for more. . Do you wish it was me.
Baby pulled her blue dress on and walked out in the night. Left one silk stocking danglin' from the bedside light. I sobered up and called her name just before the dawn.
Down in the valley valley so low. Hang your head over hear the wind blow. Hear the wind blow dear hear the wind blow. Hang your head over hear the wind blow..
Now down the road just a mile or two. Lives a little girl named Pearly Blue. About so high and her hair is brown. The Prettiest thing boys in this town.
It was on one Sunday evening just above the air off tree. When my darlin' started leave me to sail on the deep blue sea. He promised to write me a letter he promised to write to me.
Darling, I have come to tell you. Though it almost breaks my heart. But before the morning darling. We'll be many miles apart. . Don't this road look rough and rocky.
