I walked out tonight for a ramble round. I didn't mean to stay just to view the town. When I saw her smiling from afar. As she walked into that crossroads bar.
Portland main is just the same as sunny Tennessee. Portland main is just the same as sunny Tennessee. Any old place I hang my hat is, home sweet home to me.
I can hear the voice of the boatman comin'. And I'll be ready when he calls my name. So happy I'll be on my way to Heaven. I hear the Angels freely say.
Oh the home above (oh the home above) so far away (so far away). That's where we pray (As ) we'll live someday (we'll ). In the home above (in ) beyond the starlight sky (beyond).
Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh yeah. That's it man. Okay baby, yeah. Aha. Play it on. Aah, good song. Yeah.
You have heard and read about the state of Tennessee. Down in the southern states is where I wanna be. Where the valleys are so green and mountains are so tall.
Once in my youth, I stood on this mountain. And planted some pines in the sand. Every day I looked their way. But just couldn't understand. . Why they never grew like I thought they should do.
If your soul was veiled in darkness, and you had no grief nor care,. 'Twould be better than the Master, for the cross He had to bear.. . Chorus:. Then take courage un' tomorrow, all the clouds will pass away..
Written by billy burnette.. . Seems like this is gonna be one of those days. I feel if as I reach the door. The sun is covered by that same. Old man-made haze.
Well, I heard that since you said we're through. You bought some brand new dancin' shoes. That's all I've been hearin' about. All day long day in day out.
Written by billy burnette.. . Too bad I missed you baby. Too bad it might of been fun. Too bad I missed you baby. I think you're number one. . I don't wanna give you no more my love.
First night I saw you it was clear to me. You were surrounded in mystery. Just one look drew me in. Haven't been the same since. . You had me hooked right from the start.
Written by billy burnette.. . Oh go now and tell the world about it. Stop this show now. There's too few here to die. We don't want war now. . Just go on out and shout it.
Well, love's an ocean, deep and wide. Too big to see the other side. What's waiting there for me and you?. Out in the blue we'll never know until we try.
Written by billy burnette and mentor williams.. . There goes my baby walkin' out the door. I never cried a bigger tear before. You don't know 'till it breaks.
Written by dorsey burnette, johnny burnette, and paul burlison.. . Well come on little baby let's tear that. Dance floor up. Come on little baby let me see you.
Written by billy burnette and ava aldridge.. . Baby I'm free. Free to be with you tonight. Look into my eyes and say that it' alright. Come and love me for a while.
I give to you and you give to me. True love, true love. So on and on it will always be. True love, true love. . For you and I have a guardian angel. On high with nothing to do.
Today I started loving you again I'm right back where I've really always been. I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend. Then today I started loving you again.
The tips will buy pretty things for baby. Until the day my man walks in. I'd get so tired drying tears and tables. I'd seen enough dirty cups and lonely men.
