For the millions of lies that you told me and the millions of nights I've waited for you. But you'll find out someday for every wrong you'll pay. And that's when it's comin' home to you.
I got a letter from my mama just a line or two. She said listen daddy your good girl's leavin' you. That's all she wrote didn't write no more. She'd left the gloom a hanging round my front door.
Troubles and a worried mind it seems that's all I've ever known. But now I'll leave that all behind if you'll just leave me alone. And if I go on loving you if to leave is a mistake.
The New York City folks say I'm too country the Grinny Village hippies call me square. But at the Long Horn barroom down in Dallas Texas. They call me the Texas Troubadour there.
Thanks, thanks a lot. I got a broken heart that's all I got. You made me cry and I cried a lot. I lost your love baby thanks a lot. You told our friends as I was passing by.
Take a body that's tortured with pain and give it a head that's bowed down in shame. Add two arms that once held you tight but only hold a pillow tonight.
I was dancing with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz. When an old friend I happened to see. I introduced him to my loved one and while they were dancing.
She's the first one on the dance floor when the music starts to play. She's the first to buy the band around the drink. She's just out to have a good time, dances every set they play.
Now listen while I tell you bout a place I know. Down in Tennessee where the tall corn grows. Hidden from the world in a bunch of pines. Where the moon's a little bashful and seldom shines.
Now some folks think I'm lazy some say he's just tired. Some say I'm waitin' on a Gravy Train for some rich fellow's yard. But they don't know what it's all about no matter how it may appear.
If you have a love that's true one who never makes you blue. Let your things and love show through tell her so tell her so. Give her a kiss once in a while a tender touch a loving smile.
Take me back to Tulsa, I'm too young to marry. Take me back to Tulsa, I'm too young to marry. . You see that girl with the red dress on,. Some folks call her Dinah.
Take these chains from my heart and set me free. You've grown cold and no longer care for me. All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on.
I slipped out of the house about sundown while mama was a washin' her hair. And you can bet your bottom dollar she'll come lookin' for me. When she finds that I'm not there.
Take a letter Miss Gray it must go out today. And I think you already know what it's gonna say. It's to the one I'm tied to the one I'm leaving for you.
Yes, I know that my baby's been steppin' out, used to be my darlin'. Her old flame keeps comin' right back again, botherin' my baby. I tried to hold my head up high, look my friends right in the eye.
Can I buy you a drink you look lonely well so I might and it might help us both. I can tell by that lost look in your eyes just like me you lost the one you loved most.
Somewhere between me and you. I love you so much I can't let you go and sometimes I believe you love me. But somewhere between your heart and mine there's a door without any key.
When the storms of life are raging stand by me. When the storms of life are raging stand by me. When the world is tossing me like a ship upon the sea.
I can see you are not happy the way you've been acting. And I think you'd like to be free. I know he's a good man but I know that you can be a whole lot happier with me.
