There hasn't been one bit of laughter in this house in so long,. Just the howling of the wind asking why.. And I know this house ain't growing, but it seems bigger since you're gone..
Life is like a mountain railway. With an engineer that's brave. We must make the right connections. From the cradle to the grave. . Watch the curves, the fill, the tunnels.
I'm praying for rain in California. So the grapes can grow and they can make more wine. And I'm a sittin' at a honky'n in Chicago. With a broken heart and a woman on my mind.
LIFE IN PRISON. (Merle Haggard). '64 Owen Publications, BMI. . The jury found the verdict first degree. They swore I planned her death to be. I prayed they sentence me to die.
Well it really has been nice bein' with you but I'm afraid that I've got to leave. As you know I'm a rodeo cowboy and there's a rodeo down in Mesquite.
Somehow things just never came together. Fate had different plans for you and me. Love used to be the most important thing in life. But life's just not the way it used to be.
Let's chase each other 'round the room tonight. Let's play the games we played on our wedding night. To lock and bolt the door is only right. Let's chase each other 'round the room tonight.
Let's chase each other 'round the room tonight. Let's play the games we played on our wedding night. To lock and bolt the door is only right. Let's chase each other 'round the room tonight.
[Chorus]. When Leonard finally came to California. He was twenty-one years old, as I recall. He loved to write a song and pick on the guitar. And he came to hang a gold one on the wall.
Why do you treat me as if I were only a friend. And what have I done that has made you so distant and cold. Sometimes I wonder if you'll be contented again.
Do the mornin's still come early, are the nights not long enough?. Does a tear of hesitation fall on everything you touch?. Well, it all might be a lesson for the hasty heart to know.
Kids get lonesome too. So this song's just for you. When you get lonely. All ages go insane. Even young love causes pain. When you get lonely. . Bad days come in pairs.
Riches do not come in silver and in gold. It comes in the happiness you find. I place my gold and silver before my precious queen. But now there's only memories left behind.
If the 'Amber Waves Of Grain' should disappear. And there were no wheat or barley anywhere. Would we buy our bread and butter from the Toyota man. Would an Idaho spud be stamped 'Made In Japan'.
I'll never swim Kern River again. It was there that I met her. It was there that I lost my best friend. And now I live in the mountains. I drifted up here with the wind.
I wanted more from life, than four kids and a wife. And a job in a dark Kentucky mine.. A twenty acre farm, with a shackey house and barn. Thats all I had and all I left behind.
Hold me, love me and tell me. That you decided to stay. At least put it off till tomorrow. And keep me from cryin' today. . Help me make ready for the heartache.
There's a dark and a troubled side of life. There's a bright and a sunny side too. Though we meet with the darkness and the strife. The sunny side we also have in view.
I am weak but Thou art strong. Jesus keep me from all wrong. I'll be satisfied as long. As I walk, let me walk close to Thee.. . [Chorus]. Just a closer walk with Thee.
Just between the two of us, we know our love is gone. People think it's wonderful our love can be so true. You never say an angry word no matter what I do.
