Ever since you left me I've done nothing but wrong.
Many nights I've layed awake and cried. We was so happy. My heart was in a whirl, But now I'm a honky tonk girl. So turn that jukebox way up high, And fill my glass up while I cry. I've lost everything in this world, And now I'm a honky tonk girl. I just can't make a right with all of my wrongs, Every evening of my life seems so long, I'm sorry and ashamed for all these things you see, But losing him has made a fool of me. So fill my glass up to the rim, To lose my memory of him, I've lost everything in this world, And now I'm a Honky Tonk Girl |

We used to go out walkin' hand in hand
You told me of the big things you had planned It wasn't long till all your dreams came true Success put me in second place with you You have no time to love me anymore Since fame and fortune knocked upon our door Now I spend all my evenings all alone Success has made a failure of our home [ fiddle - steel ] If we could share an evening now and then Perhaps we'd find true happiness again You'll never hold me like you used to do It's funny what success has done to you You have no time to love me... |

I just can't get it through my head
You love another now instead Can't make myself believe we're really through. I'm walking up and down the hall, talking to the silent wall I'll lose my mind before I'm over you. I think I've almost lost my mind I think about you all the time I'm going crazy yes I know and I don't have far to go The way you treat me is a shame but I'll keep loving you the same I'll lose my mind before I'm over you. I keep your letters, I should burn, I wear your ring, I should return But there's a million foolish things I do It makes me cry but you would laugh to know I kiss your photograph I'll lose my mind before I'm over you. I think I've almost lost my mind I think about you all the time I'm going crazy yes I know and I don't have far to go The way you treat me is a shame but I'll keep loving you the same I'll lose my mind before I'm over you... |

You left me for the bright lights of the town. A country boy set out to see the world. Remember when those city lights shine down. That big old moon shines on your Kentucky girl. I swear I love you, by the moon above you. How bright is it shining in your world? Some morning when you wake up all alone. Just come on home to your blue Kentucky girl. Don't wait to bring great riches home to me. I need no diamond rings or fancy pearls. Just bring yourself, you're all I'll ever need. That's good enough for this blue Kentucky girl. I swear I love you by the moon above you. How bright is it shinin in your world? Some morning when you wake up all alone. Just come on home to your blue Kentucky girl. |

You came from the city streets to my little country town
Your spell is on my baby and you've got me sorrow bound You don't really love him you're playin' around for fun Woman of the world leave my world alone You're the devil's woman that's what my man don't know Why I wear more in swimmin' than you wear to parties where you go There's a place I know where you should go for that's where you belong Woman of the world leave my world alone I don't know about the things the bright lights taught to you My country boy don't know them any better than I do I'll have to watch him hurtin' after you are gone Woman of the world leave my world alone You're the devil's woman... |

The man I've got loves cleaned up home and he likes to wear the breeches
He don't like doin' women things like washin' clothes and dishes You'll find he's not that hard to please if you love him right and fill his needs To make a man feel like a man you gotta show him you're a woman Show him what you are you know you can do it Don't let some other woman come along and beat you to it Lots of girls might catch his eye but what is a girl when a woman falls by To make a man feel like a man you gotta show him you're a woman [ guitar + steel ] When he comes home from a hard day's work he's probably tired and dirty Don't let him find a slouchy queen have your castle lookin' pretty There's lots of things that you shouldn't do like just as many that you should do too To make a man feel like a man you gotta show him you're a woman Show him what you are... To make a man feel like a man you gotta show him you're a woman |

Well, I was born a coal miner's daughter, In a cabin, on a hill in butcher holler, We were poor, but we had love, That's the one thing daddy made sure of, He shoveled coal to make a poor man's dollar. My daddy worked all night in the Van Lear Cole Mines, All day long in a field a-hoein' corn, Mommy rocked the babies at night, and read The Bible by the coal-oil light, And everything would start all over come break of mornin'. Daddy loved and raised 8 kids on a miner' pay, Mommy scrubbed our clothes on a wash board every day, Why, I seen her fingers bleed, to complain, there was no need, She'd smile in mommy's understanding way. In the summertime we didn't have shoes to wear, But in the winter time, we'd all get a brand new pair, From a mail-order catalog, money mad from selling a hog, Daddy all ways managed to get the money somewhere. Yeah, I'm proud to be a coal miner's daughter, I remember well, the well where I drew water, The work we done was hard, at night we'd sleep 'cause we were tired, I never thought of leavin' Butcher Holler. Well, a lot of things have changed since way back then, And it's so good to be back home again, Not much left but the floor, nothin' lives here anymore, 'Cept the memories of a coal miner's daughter. |

I've seen him as he awakens in the morning
He reaches out his hand and without a word As his fingers softly fall upon my face He lights the flame of desire and makes me want him And love is the foundation we lean on All you need is love to ease your mind And does it have to be right to be called love When he gives me more loving Then a lifetime of looking could ever find And love is the foundation we lean on All you need is love to ease your mind And does it have to be right to be called love When he gives me more loving Then a lifetime of looking could ever find |

I wasn't much more than a baby I thought he was a bear
The way my daddy carried me around They said I learned to walk while holdin' on to just one finger On the hand of a man that stands at six-foot-three Not old enough to understand the meaning of depression Just something people talked about a lot My daddy wasn't one that tried to make no big impressions Just one heck of a man that worked for what he got They don't make men like my daddy anymore Guess they've thrown away the pattern through the years In a great big land of freedom at a time we really need 'em They don't make 'em like my daddy anymore From the Johnson County coal camps to the hills of West Virginia My daddy hauled the timber for the mines Education didn't count so much as what you had born in you Like the will to live and a dream of better times Daddy never took a handout we ate pinto beans a bacon But he worked to keep the wolf back from the door And it only proves one thing to me when folks start belly achin' They don't make 'em like my daddy anymore They don't make men... They don't make 'em like my daddy anymore |

Sometimes at night while you're fast asleep
I lie there alone in the darkness and weep So sorry and sad but that's part of the deal when the tingle becomes a chill I never wanted to stop loving you I'll swear by the breath in my body that's true Ah but a woman can't help the way that she feels when the tingle becomes a chill You're so contented but for me it's all gone And though I pretend you just don't turn me on The body performs but the soul has no will when the tingle becomes a chill I never wanted to stop loving you... |

I don't want your lonely mansion with a tear in every room
All I want's the love you promised beneath the hallow moon But you think I should be happy with your money and your name And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheating game. Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine And I dare never drown my sorrow's in the warm glow of your wine You can't buy my love with money for I never was that kind Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine.

Well, they say that I'm too country, the way I look and sound.
They wanna to make me over, just a little more uptown. Say I need to change my image, now tell me what's that mean. Don't they know I've got country in my genes? Well, I can't help the way I talk, I wouldn't change it if I could. Sophisticated ain't my style, but country fits me good. I ain't ashamed to wear what's been handed down to me. Lord, I've got country in my genes. I've got country in my genes, country in my blood. It goes back generations. It's something I'm proud of. It's something I was born with, what you get is what you see. I'm just an old hillybilly with a country song to sing. Lord, I've got country in my genes. Oh that Earl Scruggs. If country's hit the big time, me, I'm still the same. I ain't above my raisin' and I ain't about to change. I wouldn't trade my Wranglers for the finest gaberdine.
