This guitar is for sale, I'll let her go cheap. She's pretty to look at but she don't earn her keep. She can roar like the west wind, she can weep, she can wail.
Well now friends you'd never guess it so I really must confess it. I just met the sweetest woman of my long dismal life. But a friend of mine said buddy just in case your mind is muddy.
She was quite a looker she kept herself up well. She was crowdin' forty but in the dark you couldn't tell. I sat down at her table and had myself a pour.
Boring through the mountains by-passing the towns. Interstate 90 is a sight to behold. But that monument to progress and engineering skill. Has covered up the old swimmin' hole.

[ Bobby ]. There was a time we'd sit in the backyard cause the house would get so hot. From the summer sun there was no way of sleepin'. [ Skeeter ]. And you'd play your old guitar we'd fight mosquitos and enjoy.
If you love somebody enough. You'll follow wherever they go. That's how I got to Memphis. That's how I got to Memphis. . If you love somebody enough. You'll go where your heart wants to go.
I thought I'd like to lead the bachelor life for a while. Live alone and have some fun. So I told her to take the kids and go back to her mama. (That's how I wanted it to be) and I felt satisfied it was done.
Pour me another Tequila Sheila,. Take off that red satin dress. I cross the border and I beat the dealer. For all the damn gold in Juarez.. . I feel like old Pancho Villa, Sheila.

There was a tall oak tree that loved a bubblin' brook. And the bubblin' brook loved a mountain high. And the mountain high loved the sky above. The creator looked down and saw everything was loved loved loved.
Why must you always try to make me over?. Take me as I am or let me go. White lilies never grow on stalks of clover. Take me as I am or let me go. . You're trying to reshape me in a mold o' love.
Won't you take me home to mama she loves me and she'll keep me safe and warm. All I ask is take me home to mama please take me home to mama's arms. . Oh greyhound bus I bet she could never guess.
Just as far as I can remember she'll remain the rose of my heart. Mama took sick along in December February brought us broken hearts. The reason we've not called the family reunion is we knew that you wouldn't be there.
SYMPATHY. Writers Bobby Bare, Charlie Williams. . Oh well, I look in your eyes. And what do I see. Well, I don't see love. All I see is sympathy. Before she came along.
I was hangin' round Nashville writin' songs and playin' them for all of the stars. Watchin' them laugh and hand 'em back livin' on hope and Hershey bars.
(Sweet dreams of you every night I go through. Why can't I forget you and start my life anew. Instead of having sweet dreams about you). You don't love me it's plain I should know you'll never wear my name.
Never hit seventeen when you play against the dealer. For you know the odds won't ride with you. Never leave your woman alone when your friends around to steal her.
Well I woke up Sunday morning. With no way to hold my head. That didn't hurt. And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't. Bad so I had one more for dessert.
