I'd like to hold my head up and be proud of who I am. But they won't let my secret go untold. I paid the debt I owed them, but they're still not satisfied.
If you've ever seen that ole Mississippi. The queen of the delta land. Then you'll understand. Why I've got the blues for Dixie. . If you've ever been to Tennessee.
Bobby wants a puppy dog for Christmas. I know you plan to bring electric trains. Bobby wants a puppy dog for Christmas. That's the only song we hear him sing.
I came back to find my Annie'd moved away. To some town in California close in something. Somewhere close to East L.A.. Don't think finding her was easy.
Billy never made the football team. 'Cause Billy's size was small. But Billy's brother was a mighty lad. And played a lot of high school ball. . And Billy's daddy never favored him.
I'm tired of this dirty old city. And tired of too much work. And never enough play. And I'm tired of these dirty old sidewalks. Think I'll walk off my steady job today.
I read, they're havin' rain in California. And Lord, I hope that you're not gettin' wet. That's the only way on earth. I have for knowin' how you're doin'.
In the town of Louisville. They got a man called Big Bad Bill. I want to tell you he sure was tough. Yeah, all folks scared to death. . When he walked by they held their breath.
(spoken). Got a call tonight. Sayin' we could still be friends. What a way to say goodbye. What a way to end. They say the darkest hour. Is just before dawn.
You're always a stranger. Never familiar. You're always so different. Never the same. You keep love exciting. With clever disguise. . And we'll always be lovers.
What makes something you can't have always look so good. Why'd do something out of reach seem so fine. What makes you thrill me more than any girl I know.
Well, I learned how to walk and I learned how to run in Bakersfield. Should've done time over things I'd done in Bakersfield. I tasted my first taste of romance in Bakersfield.
Now it's back to the barrooms. Right back to drinkin' again. Someday you'll love me enough to stay with me. And whiskey won't be my best friend. But now it's back to the barrooms again.
Hey, I want to sing till the feeling gets right. Well, let's harmonize, we'll be dynamite. I'll yodel the high notes, I've done it for years. Good deal old buddy and I'll pour the beer.
I wish a buck was still silver. It was back when the country was strong. Back before Elvis, before Vietnam war came along. Before the Beatles and yesterday.

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound. That saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now am found. Was blind but now I see. . It was grace that taught my heart to fear.
I wish a buck was still silver. It was back when the country was strong. Back before Elvis, before Vietnam war came along. Before the Beatles and yesterday.
Always wanting you, but never having you. Makes it hard to face tomorrow. 'Cause I know I'll wake up wanting you again. Always loving you, but never touching you.
