[Chorus:]
You can have her, I don't want her She didn't love me anyway She only wanted someone to play with All I wanted was love to stay The girl I love, up and left me She ran away with my best friend Comes home at night, for just one hour When daylight comes she's gone again [Chorus] When you're stuck with the wrong woman There ain't much that you can do Just dig a hole and crawl right in it Then pull the ground right in over you [Chorus] Life without love is might empty But confession is good for your soul I'd rather have love for just one hour Then have the world and all it's gold [Chorus x2] |

Pretend I never happened
Erase me from your mind You will not want to remember Any love as cold as mine I'll be leaving in the morning For a place I hope I find All the places must be better Than all the ones I leave behind I don't suppose you'll be unhappy You'll find ways to spend your time But if you ever think about me And if I ever cross your mind Pretend I never happened Erase me from your mind You will not want to remember Any love as cold as mine I don't suppose you'll be unhappy You'll find ways to spend your time But if you ever think about me And if I ever cross your mind Pretend I never happened Erase me from your mind You will not want to remember Any love as cold as mine |

This time if you want me to come back, it's up to you
But remember I won't allow the things you used to do You're gonna have to toe the mark and walk the line This time will be the last time This time if I should feel unwanted, I won't stay Each tomorrow will depend on the love you give today It's all up to you to keep in mind This time will be the last time This time should be anything like the other times This time will be the last time If this time should be anything like the other times This time will be the last time |

I've been down the Mississippi,
Down through New Orleans, Yes, I have. I've played in California, There ain't too much I haven't seen. No, there ain't. Well, I'm a ramblin' man, Don't fool around with a ramblin' man. Left a girl in West Virginia, Up there where that green grass grows, Yes, I did. Another girl in Cincinnati, Waitin' where the Ohio River flows, Poor girl! I'm a ramblin' man, Don't give your heart to a ramblin' man. You'd better move away, You're standin' too close to the flame. Once I mess with your mind, Your little heart won't beat the same. Lord, I'm a ramblin' man, Don't mess around with any ol' ramblin' man. Better not! Well, up in Chicago, I was known as "Quiet Boy," Yes, I was! Down in Alabama, They call me "The man of joy," Still do! Well, I'm a ramblin' man, Don't fall in love with a ramblin' man. You'd better move away, You're standin' too close to the flame. Once I mess with your mind, Your little heart won't beat the same. Lord, I'm a ramblin' man, Don't mess around with any ol' ramblin' man. |

Oh rainy day woman
I never seem to see your for the good times or the sunshine You have been a friend of mine, rainy day woman That woman of mine, she ain't happy 'Til she finds something wrong and someone to blame If it ain't one thing it's another one on the way Woke up this mornin' to the sunshine It sure as hell looks just like rain But I know where to go on a cloudy day Oh rainy day woman I never seem to see your for the good times or the sunshine You have been a friend of mine, rainy day woman Always the same never complain Though times gotta be tough It's not right for you what can I do I can never think of givin' you up Oh rainy day woman I never seem to see your for the good times or the sunshine You have been a friend of mine, rainy day woman Oh rainy day woman I never seem to see your for the good times or the sunshine You have been a friend of mine, rainy day woman |

Dark cloud hangin' over me when will it go away
Rain is in my eyes and I can't see life's become just cloudy days Why she's done me like she's done I guess I'll never know She knows I need her more than anyone I've made a point to let it show Cloudy days don't the sun ever shine anymore stormy weather will you always be around When I'm down I can't stand cloudy days [ guitar + steel ] I recall the time when times were good Lord they seem so long ago But you know they say if rain don't come then love has no chance to grow Cloudy days don't the sun...

I gotta run to keep from hidin' I'm bound to keep on a ridin'

[ steel + guitar ] I've gone by the point of carin' some old bed I'll soon be sharin' I got one more silver dollar... [ steel + guitar ] I ain't gonna let 'em catch me no I ain't gonna let 'em catch a midnight rider [ steel + guitar ] |

New York woman tryin' to make me love her a sad eyed girl with rollers in her hair
Down the hall somebody's cooking cabbage kids're running up and down the stairs I'd like to leave this God forsaken city but I can't go no matter how I try But once again I'll be in Oklahoma tonight when I lay down and close my eyes I'll be standing in that Oklahoma sunshine just got off a bus from another world Kissing mom and shaking hands with papa dryin' the teras of an Oklahoma girl Standing in that oklahoma sunshine a dream that I have dreamed so many times The blue eyed girl with the golden hair still loves me When I go back to Oklahoma in my mind When the cold wind blows in this big city a part of me flies home to where it's warm New York woman thinks that I'm still with her just because I'm sleeping in her arms But I'll be standing Oh I'll be standing in that Oklahoma sunshine just got off a bus from another world |

You know I can't stand to be around you cause you know I'm still in love with you
And my arms keep reaching to do what my thoughts do all the time I just can't keep my hands off of you Cause it's like looking at heaven while I'm standing in hell We shared something precious for a while You look just like a baby in a cradle to me I just can't keep my hands off of you Woman you've got the man inside my body trembling the way only you know how to And I guess that's just one of a million reasons I just can't keep my hands off of you Cause it's like looking at heaven... |

I thought to leave your bed for the street
Was as simple as saying goodbye I couldn't see how blind a man can be Or how quickly life can fly [Chorus] As the lines in my face grow deeper And the well of my soul runs dry I find that I drink more and more From the memories of you and I The taste of fame is fire to me no more The attention and hunger have gone All I have left, the money and the game I'm a prisoner to the road I'm on [Chorus] |

I've held it all inward, God knows, I've tried,
But it's an awful awakening in a country boy's life, To look in the mirror in total surprise. At the hair on my shoulders and the age in my eyes. Amanda, light of my life. Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife. Amanda, light of my life. Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife. It's a measure of people who don't understand, The pleasures of life in a hillbilly band. I got my first guitar when I was fourteen, Well I finally made forty, still wearing jeans. Amanda, light of my life. Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife. Amanda, light of my life. Fate should have made you a gentleman's wife. |

Why do you treat me as if I were only a friend
What have I done that has made you so distant and cold Sometimes I wonder if you'll be contented again Will you be happy when you are withered and old I can't offer you diamonds or mansions so fine And I can't offer you clothes your young body crave But if you'd love me and say that you'll always be mine Think of the heartaches the tears and the sorrow you'll save honey When you are weary and tired of another man's gold If you ever get lonesome remember this letter my own But don't try to answer though I've suffered sorrow untold If you don't love me I wish you would leave me alone ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By GRIFFIN, REX <i>Lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc.</i> |

There only two things in life that make it worth livin'
That's guitars that tune good and firm feelin' women I don't need my name in the marquis lights I got my song and I got you with me tonight Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love Let's go to Luckenbach Texas with Waylon and Willie and the boys This successful life we're livin' got us fueding like the Hatfield and McCoys Between Hank Williams pain songs, Newberry's train songs and blue eyes cryin' in the rain out in Luckenbach Texas ain't nobody feelin' no pain So baby let's sell your diamond ring Buy some boots and faded jeans and go away This coat and tie is choking me In your high society you cry all day We've been so busy keepin' up with the Jones Four car garage and we're still building on Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love Chorus: Let's go to Luckenbach Texas with Waylon and Willie and the boys This successful life we're livin' got us fueding like the Hatfield and McCoys Between Hank Williams pain songs, Newberry's train songs and blue eyes cryin' in the rain out in Luckenbach Texas ain't nobody feelin' no pain Let's go to Luckenbach Texas with Waylon and Willie and the boys This successful life we're livin' got us fueding like the Hatfield and McCoys Between Hank Williams pain songs, Newberry's train songs and blue eyes cryin' in the rain out in Luckenbach Texas ain't nobody feelin' no pain |

Willie we've been constant companion you know the light and shade
We have spent a million dollars find out what we made We have made the maidens marvel the things we do and say Down down and out brother up up in the way If you see me gettin' smaller I'm leavin' don't be grieving Just got to get away from here If you see me gettin' smaller don't worry and no hurry I've got the right to disappear God bless old Philadelphia they were standing in the rain Out in front of a main yard wet and lonely train Who knows who they came to see a mad man full of beer A four piece band and a charter bus my border-line career If you see me gettin' smaller |

One two three four
In a barroom in Toledo, across from the depot On a barstool, she took off her ring I thought I'd get closer, so I walked on over I sat down and asked her, her name When the drinks finally hit her, she said, "I'm no quitter" But I finally quit livin' on dreams Hungry for laughter and here ever after I'm after whatever the other life brings In the mirror, I saw him, I closely watched him I saw the look in his eyes He came to the woman who sat there beside me And slowly started to cry His big hands were calloused, he looked like a mountain For a minute, I thought I was dead But he started shaking his big heart was breaking As he turned to the woman and said You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille With a four hungry children and a crop in the field I've had some sad times, lived through some bad times But this time your hurtin' won't heal You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille After he left us, I ordered more whiskey She said, "Let's go have a ball" From the lights of the barroom to a rented hotel room We walked without talkin' at all Lord, she was a beauty but when she came to me She must've thought that I'd lost my mind I couldn't hold her 'cause the words that he told her Came back to me time after time You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille With a four hungry children and a crop in the field I've had some sad times, lived through some bad times But this time your hurtin' won't heal You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille |

Where it began I can't begin knowing but I know it's growing strong
First was the spring and spring became the summer who'd believe you'd come along Hands touching hands reaching out touching me touching you Sweet Caroline good times never seemed so good I'm inclined to believe they never would Look at the night doesn't seem so lonely fill it up with only two And when I hurt it runs off my shoulder how can I hurt when I'm holding you Warm touching warm reaching out touching me touching you Oh sweet Caroline, Sweet Caroline, Oh sweet Caroline good times never seemed so good |

So long to you, hope I don't make you blue,
Think I'm gonna kill myself, think I'm gonna myself. Apart we've grown, now I can't go on alone. Think I'm gonna kill myself, think I'm gonna myself. Now dig my grave with a silver spade, a gold chain lay me down and down. Send my remains to my best friend, the rest to my hole in the ground. Send the rest to my hole in the ground. I bow my head, cause in the mornin' I'm a gonna be dead. Think I'm gonna kill myself, think I'm gonna myself. Now dig my grave with a silver spade, a gold chain lay me down and down. Send my remains to my best friend, the rest to my hole in the ground. Send the rest to my hole in the ground. |

A vagabond dreamer, a rhymer and singer of songs
Singing to no one and nowhere to really belong I met a beautiful lady, a pure Southern belle of the ball Like Scarlet O'Hara loved no one and wanted them all [Chorus] I'll never forget you and love you inspite of your faults The good and the bad I want to remember it all I did a new dance and you did your Tennessee Waltz The party's all over I came uninvited I'm leaving and taking the belle of the ball There will always be someone I guess that's the way it should be I guess I should know that someone used to be me They'll gather around her soon they'll all look the same At the feet of the lady are lover's without any names [Chorus] |

Just like the sun over the mountain top you know I'll always come again
You know I love to spend my morning time like sunlight dancing on your skin Never gone so long as far telling lies to you oh what you've seen is what I've been And there is nothing I can hide from you you see me better than I can Out on the road that lies before me now there are some turns where I will spin I only hope that you can hold me now till I can gain control again [ steel ] Just like a light house you must stand alone and mark the sailors journey's end No matter what sea I've been sailing on I'll always roll this way again Out on the road... |

Baby, go down to the drugstore, buy me a guitar string
And be sure to wear your coat, girl, 'cause it might rain 'Cause honey, you know that rain is bad for my guitar strings Put on your warm coat honey, it's gonna be cold tonight Put on the one that's warm and long 'Cause you're just before hearin' my brand new goodbye song Baby, I've tried your doctors, they just couldn't make me well The higher I tried to climb, the further I fell Guess it must have blew my mind sniffing the fumes of Hell Put on your warm coat honey, it's gonna be cold tonight Put on the one that's warm and long You're just before hearin' my brand new goodbye song Baby, throw away my pillow just before you turn the light All you'll have next to you now will be the night I'll be somewhere wrong, you'll be somewhere right Put on your warm coat honey, it's gonna be cold tonight Put on the one that's warm and long You're just before hearin' my brand new goodbye song |

Wish I was a millionaire I'd play rock music and grow long hair
I tell you boys I'd drive a new Rolls Royce Pretty women hangin' on me I'd give 'em all the third degree Satin sheets to keep 'em off of the streets Hallelujah hear me talkin' to ya praise the Lord and pass the tambourine Great Jehova you'll come over As soon as ya see me boogie woogie cross the silver screen Hang 'em high and hang 'em low put 'em in the eyes wherever I go Keep 'em all night feelin' just right Hallelujah hear me talkin' ya |

I came down with broken heart, just to start to my summer.
Boy when you lose the one you love, it's a stone cold bummer. I just called you up to tell you I don't know what to say. I wish you knew the way I felt. [Chorus] This is gettin' funny, but their ain't nobody laughin' honey, Come on back home. Tell me how you feel, though I can't stand this at all. Can't you see its a mystery, I thought I was your lover. Yes I could fly, I could lay down and die, Six one way, half a dozen of the other. I could say I'm sorry baby, enough's enough. I'm gonna break right down and ball. [Chorus] Tell me how you feel, though I can't stand this at all. I was out to show you what I good man I could be, You were out to hurt somebody. Now I'm going crazy. Really did, and I ain't lying. Get's so lonesome here in L.A., my summer's turned to autumn. I don't if you heard it way out there were you you stay, My heart just hit rock bottom. I'm runnin' round in circles, I don't know where I am. Won't you at least give me a call. [Chorus] Tell me how you feel, though I can't stand this at all. How do you feel? I can't stand this all. |

I've got a couple more years on you babe and that's all
I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall It's not that I'm wiser, it's just that I've spent More time with my back to the wall and I've picked up A couple a more years on you babe and that's all Now I've walked a couple more roads than you babe and that's all And I'm tired of running while you're only learning to crawl And you're going somewhere but I've been to somewhere And found it was nowhere at all and I picked up A couple more years on you babe and that's all Sayin', "Goodbye girl don't ever come easy at all" But you got to fly cause you're hearin' them young eagles call Someday when you're older, you'll smile at a man strong and told And say I got a couple more years on you babe, that's all You'll say, "I've got a couple more years on you babe and that's all" I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall It's not that I'm wiser, it's just that I've spent More time with my back to the wall and I've picked up A couple a more years on you babe and that's all |
