Another Pretty Country Song Lyrics - Singles - Del Reeves

I bought this rhinestone suit in California 

These boots came all the way from Mexico 

And this Cadillac ain't nothin' son you should see the Greyhound 

I bought to take my band from show to show 

Oh you've seen my face a thousand times on TV 

Or heard me on your local radio 

And in your eyes I see the admiration for me 

But son there's something that you ought to know 

I've got to take a drink to keep from shaking 

Oh motel rooms ain't nothing like a home 

And money can't make love grow any stronger 

When you leave your woman home alone 

She can't raise the children with no daddy 

She can't love a man that's always gone 

It takes a whole lot more than pride 

To keep your feelings locked inside 

While you sing another pretty country song 

[ steel ] 

Yes I've got to take a drink to keep from shaking... 

While I sing another pretty country song
