Well I'm all packed up and I'm almost ready to go. This big G-model runs every way but slow. When I get tired while I'm on the way instead of stoppin' I always say.
Like an Indian that's headed for his horse. Like a muddy river you can't change my cause. Got my heart and mind made up and I am ready now to start. On my journey to the center of your heart.
When John Henry was just a little bitty boy no bigger than the palm of your hand. His mommy looked down at John Henry and say. Well Johnny you're gonna be a steal drivin' man Lord lord.
It's such a pretty world today look at the sunshine. Every day's the same since I met you. It's such a pretty world today knowing that you're mine. And happinsess is being close to you.
Rain that hits the window on the outside hides the teadrops fallin' on the inside. A heart that has a sadder beat cause someone went away. It's not a very pleasant day today.
Well I might have gone fishin' but I got to thinkin' it over. The road down to the river it's a mighty long way. I guess it must be the season ain't no rhyme or no reason.
This time I've really thought you this time it's goodbye. By the time you read this I'll be high up in the sky. Oh yes I'm gonna feel you in my arms for quite a while.
This is Dave Dudley and I'd like to take a few seconds of your time. To add my sincerest appreciation for all the nice things you've done for me. And to kindly introduce this album personally.
You say you love me more than anything in this whole world. For my love you'd beg and borrow or steal. Then why don't you tell the one you look you love me more than him.
Some folks call me a laughin' boy some say I'm a clown. But till you've tried my way of life don't ever put it down. And if it feels good do it if it hurts just let it lie.
I've journeyed over the mountains just like that famous bear. I didn't realize it wouldn't get me anywhere. And now I'm tired of roaming this life is not much fun.
Oh I'm so surprised to see me here sittin' all alone. It's late and everybody's gone to their respective homes. I could go home I should go home but it's so dark and still.
Every night I stay out I swing and I shout like tomorrow won't ever come. But I lose my charm when I hear that alarm then I know what I've done. With an oversized head I'd like to stay in bed if I do I know I'll get fired.
I'm puttin' it together I'm gonna make it right. I'm gettin' it all together but it's been a fight. How come you have to treat me the way that you do.
I'm not so easy anymore you'll find it rougher than before. I guess you've noticed how I've changed since you've walked out the door. You say you made a big mistake but you're telling me too late.
Gas food and lounge and lousy detour signs. Coffee stops and concrete tired all the time. Smokin' and chokin' and closet smell like sole. But I'm hooked with my home on the road.
Got your face so pretty and your hair done right. Cause we're gonna do the town tonight. I'm comin' into town right on time I still got your lovin' on my mind.
I'm letting go up what used to be when there was love just you and me. It's like you said it all went wrong what's left to say I'll be moving along. Too bad too bad for me for you we planted love seed but nothing grew.
If I talk too much I won't mean what I say but I'll tell you this before you go away. If you destroy my world just leave the pieces where you drop 'em.
I know you're tired of being all I ever wanted. You'll no longer feel the love I have for you. What happens now what will I do with all these mem'ries.
