Standin' here, on this old familiar porch. I know this welcome mat ain't meant for me. I can't believe you even opened up the door. You always were much too kind to me.
Not with deserters from the battle. That tears my land do I belong.. To their coarse praise I do not listen,. They shall not have from me one song.. .
Well, I had me a wedding and a dress so white. and a man put pretty little stars in my eyes. Then I woke up one morning, he was gone. Lord, he jumped a train to San Antone.
My father died a year ago today.. The rooster started crowing when they carried Dad away.. There beside my mother, in the living room, I stood,. With my brothers and my sisters, knowing Dad was gone for good..
I moved your pictures from my wall and I replaced them with large and small. And each new day finds me so blue nothing takes the place of you. I read your letters one by one and I still love you when it's all said and done.
Come sit by my side little darlin' come lay your cool hand on my brow. Promise me that you will never be nobody's darlin' but mine. Nobody's darlin' but mine love be honest be faithful be kind.
No chance for happiness no need to live a lie no need to smile again no need to try. You found another love and you left to me to cry. No chance for happiness since you said goodbye.
A lady that I know, just came from Columbia. She smiled because I did not understand. Then she held out some marijuana, ha, ha. She said it was the best in all the land.
Well I never been to Spain. But I kinda like the music. Say the ladies are insane there. And they sure know how to use it. . They don't abuse it. Never gonna lose it.
New Friends. (Carter/ Hanson Person/ Schatz). . You can pretend like you don't feel a thing. But I know better than to believe. Everybody knows. Seen you with a new crowd.
Never Forget You. (Andrews/ Neuhauser). . Why did summer have to go so fast. When we knew it would be the last. Summer spent together in this town. . You're moving with your family.
If you take the train when you leave me. I'll stand on the platform and make sure you see me. By the time you get upstate and roll on down the track. You just might change your mind, get off and come on back.
Honey bee loves the honey, chickadee loves the sky. Everybody loves somebody but no love have I, no love have I. Standing on the corner, lovers pass me by.
Little kids sleepin' with rats in their bed well it's none of my business. It's been a long time since they've been fed but it's none of my business. Some more bad news from Vietnam and China's playin' with a great big bomb.
five years since you went away. hurts like it was yesterday. play with fire and you're gonna pay. lord knows I'm tired of paying. I'm sick of living in the past.
Five years since you went away. Hurts like it was yesterday. I play with fire and youre gonna pay. Lord knows I am tired of payin. . I am sick of livin in the past.
I don't like to think about tomorrow. When you're right here beside me today. We never speak of future plans. I know you're a ramblin' man. But no one is gonna love you better.
Puttin' everything off till tomorrow.. Gonna find the bottom of this bottle.. This here cowboy keeps me company.. Maybe he can ease my misery.. . Never had a broken heart till you..
I was raised on country,. a steady dose of Haggard an' Jones,. Conway and Loretta. were always on the radio;. But everythin' has changed since then,. they say it's for the good,.
Male:. I took the time to say nothing to her,. she took the time to say nothing to me. and in the time I said nothing to her. she saysNothing.. . Love and pain, ying and yang,.
