I think I know now what's making me sad It's a yearnin' for my own back yard I realize maybe I was wrong to leave Better swallow up my silly country pride Going home, running home Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Going home, and I'm running home down to Gasoline Alley where I was born When the weather's better and the rails unfreeze and the wind don't whistle 'round my knees I'll put on my weddin' suit and catch the evening train I'll be home before the milk's upon the door Going home, running home down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Going home, and I'm running home down to Gasoline Alley where I was born But if anything should happen and my plans go wrong Should I stray to the house on the hill Let it be known that my intentions were good I'd be singing in my alley if I could And if I'm called away and it's my turn to go Should the blood run cold in my veins Just one favor I'll be asking of you Don't bury me here, it's too cold Take me back, carry me back Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Take me back, won't you carry me home Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Take me back, carry me back Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Take me back, carry me back Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Take me back, carry me back Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from |

Baby used to stay out all night long She made me cry You know she done me wrong She held my eyes open and that's no lie Tables turned and now it's her turn to cry But then I used to love her but it's all over now Yes it is But then I used to love her but it's all over now Listen She used to run around with every single man in town Spent all my money playing her fast game She put me out, it was a pity how I cried But the tables turned and now it's her turn to cry Because I used to love her but it's all over now Ain't no lie because I used to love her but it's all over now Listen Well I used to wake the morning get my breakfast in bed When I got worried she'd ease my aching head But now she's here and there with every single man in town But the tables turned and now it's her turn to cry Because I used to love her but it's all over now Yes it is Because I used to love her but it's all over now Listen to this one Because I used to love her but it's all over now But then I used to love her but it's all now wait a minute But then I used to love her but you know but you know it's all over now But then I used to love her but you know it's all over now |

As I was out walking on the corner one day I spied an old hobo, in the doorway he lay His face was all covered in the cold sidewalk floor I guess he'd been there for a whole night or more He was only a hobo, but one more is gone Leaving nobody to carry it on Leaving nobody to sing his sad song Only a hobo, but one more is gone A blanket of newspaper covered his head The step was his pillow The street was his bed One look at his face showed the hard road he'd come and a fistful of money showed the coins that he'd bummed He was only a hobo, but one more is gone Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song Leavin' nobody to carry it on Only a hobo, but one more is gone Does it take much of a man to see a whole life go down To look on the world from a hole in the ground Too late for your future like a horse that's gone lame To lie in the gutter and die with no name He was only a hobo, but one more is gone Leavin' nobody to sing his sad song Leavin' nobody to carry it on Only a hobo, but one more is gone |

I've been told it's just a matter of time
before you meet someone who opens your eyes But time's on my side so nevertheless I know the pain of too much happiness Chorus: It's all part of my way of giving and I'm giving it all to you More than love it's a way of living and what more would you have me do Although I'm not a guy that means to hurt and if at times it seems our love won't work I tell you honey, you must surely realize See all confusion in my cloudy eyes (Chorus) Although I'm not a guy that means to hurt and if at times it seems our love won't work I tell you honey you must surely realize See all confusion in my cloudy eyes (Chorus) |

Soon the pines will be falling everywhere Village children always fighting for fair share And the six-o-nine goes roarin' down the creek As Parson Lee prepares his service for next week I saw grandma yesterday down at the store Well she's really lookin' fine for eighty-four And she asked me if some time I'd fix the barn Poor old girl, she needs a man down on the farm Chorus: And it's good old country comforts in my bones Just the sweetest sound my ears have ever known Just an old fashioned feeling in my bones Country comforts and the road that's going home Down at the mill they've got a new machine Foreman says it cuts manpower by fifteen "Oh, but that ain't natural" old man Grayson says 'cause he's a horse-drawn man until his dying days (Chorus) |

Now a country boy named Shorty and a city boy named Dan had to prove who could run the fastest to wed Miss Lucy's hand Now Dan had all the money and he also had the looks But Shorty musta had that something boys that can't be found in books Chorus: "Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across" That's what Miss Lucy said "Cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across You know it's you that I wanna wed" Wait a minute Now Dan had been in training about a week before the race He made up his mind old Shorty would end in second place You know Dan with his long legs flying he left Shorty far behind Shorty heard him holler out Miss Lucy that you'll soon be mine (Chorus) But Shorty wasn't worried There was a smile upon his face 'Cause old Lucy had fixed the race And just like that old story about the turtle and the hare, you know that thing when Danny crossed over the finish line he found Shorty waiting there (Chorus) It's you that I wanna wed, no no And oh Lord it's you I wanna wed It's you that I wanna wed |

North winds have made my face a little older And my back is bent through trying too hard My vest is torn so I make no perfect picture To place upon your white-washed wall I'd like to stay but you have not asked me Still I don't really expect you to Dusty boots would shame you now Lady Day Are we really that far apart I wis hthe world could see you now Lady Day Laughing down at your oldest friend The one who shared just about all he had In a one-sided love affair I get scared when I remember too much Wasted time I suppose you could say that Strange it don't seem that way to me But wait a minute I don't even think you're listening Just let me tell you how I really feel I've seen the inside of your heart Lady Day When you want to be shown the way I loved you then as I love ya now girl |

I stayed away so long Jo don't think that I could come back You're doin' so well without me girl you'd laugh if you'd know'd where I'm at You knew me when it was all my world Somehow it's all passed me by But don't let on to my friends Jo dear that things ain't turned out as planned You bore my child then I left you aside I don't expect you to forgive But Jo I can say in a funny old way I was sure that I had it made I still possess a photograph my memory to refresh But fade it may Jo I can say I was sure that I had it made You bore my child then I left you aside I don't expect you to forgive But now I'm not so young and I'm so afraid to sleep alone for the rest of my days |
