Dear mom and dad I'm writing you to say I found a job. It's a good job I don't go to work till nine. If my old car holds up I guess I'll be home for the Fourth.
[ Jeannie Bare & Bobby Bare Jr ]. . Mama where'd I come from did they give me to you free. Did you buy me in a boystore mama where'd you find me. . Well Bobby I found you in a smile.
Spring could come you'd never show it love could come you'd never know it. Life has drawn so many tears from your eyes. You've been used then lost the user you've been branded as a loser.
Well here I am in Chicago all alone near the place where we met. I walk through the rain the wind whispers your name oh why won't they let me forget. Cause when the wind blows I get lonely and one day for sure you left behind.
I have met the Master on my knees been tested and I've tried. And I've seen the God of heaven paint the fields and the country side. I've been the husband of one wife heard my newborn baby cry.

I hate to leave your party and these friendly people here. But I don't fit in with all that's goin' on. Your love's an invitation but I can't go along.
Will anybody know I've been here when I'm gone. Will anything that I've done here live on. Every man's allowed just so much time. And all you take along is what you leave behind.
I've walked the streets of small Texas towns. I've seen the snowfall in New York. For a young man, I guess I've been around. But when am I ever gonna settle down.
When God dips his pen of love in my heart. And writes my soul a message he wants me to know. His spirit all divine fills this sinful soul of mine when God dips his love in my heart.
(Marge Barton). . One day a little boy climbed up on his daddy's knee. With picture and crayons in his hand. He said, "When I grow up this is a man I want to be..
What kind of bird is that. The one with the bright red breast. I know it just can't be the robin. 'Cause my love is not back yet. . The one I love and wanted to marry.
[ Both ]. We'll sing in the sunshine we'll laugh every day. We'll sing in the sunshine then be on our way. [ Bobby ]. I will never love you the cost of love's too dear.
Mhm mhm I was New York City bound when I left my old hometown. But I got hung up like a fool somehow along the way. Lord God her name was Sally she lived in the Kanawha Valley.
What am I gonna do girl what am I gonna do I love you so much what am I gonna do. What am I gonna do girl what am I gonna do I love you so much what am I gonna do.
Remember when I saw you standing slightly cryin' empty-handed. With no one that you could call your own. Looking up to someone somewhere asking for life with no despair.
Warm and free warm and free that's all it takes to get a hold on me. Warm and free warm and free you never know how low you can be. . Till you go into an an all-night cafe grab somebody's dirty old cup.
Down at the railroad station my suitcase settin' by my side. Got no high hopes of leaving I'm just watching the trains go by. Watching the trains go by.
I know they all know that I love her they don't say a word I can tell. The people who live here on Main Street know and respect me too well. Each morning she brings me my coffee thank you good looking I'd say.
[Chorus:]. When it rains I pour a couple more rounds. 'Til the hurtin' and the heartache start to drown. I turn out the light, I turn up Dwight. And I lock my door when it rains.
