You called me Country Willie
The night you walked away With the one who promised you a life of joy You thought my life too simple And your was much too gay To spend it living with a country boy I'm writing you this letter I write you every day I hope that you've received the ones before But I've heard not one word from you And every day I pray That you will not forget your country boy While you're living in the city With riches round your door Is this your love Is this your kind of joy Or do you find There's something missing Does your heart cry out for more And do you sometimes miss your country boy ( steel ) A cottage in the country With roses round the door Could not compete With flashing city lights But it's all I have to offer Except for one thing more A heart so filled with love That it could die Well it's time to end this letter The light of dawn is near A lonely night has passed But there'll be more Just one more thing in closing For all the world to hear Come home I love you Signed your country boy |

Mr Record Man I'm looking for a song I heard today
There was someone blue singing not someone who went away Just like me his heart was yearning for a love that used to be It's a lonely song about a lonely man like me There was something bout a love that didn't treat him right And he'd wake from troubled sleep and cry her name at night Mr Record Man get this record for me won't you please It's a lonely song about a lonely man like me I was driving down the highway with the radio turned on And a man that I heard singing sound so blue and all alone As I listen to his lonely song I wonder could it be Could there somewhere be another lonely man like me There was something 'bout a love... |

Hello walls, (Hello, hello.)
How'd things go for you today? Don't you miss her. Since she up and walked away? And I'll bet you dread to spend another lonely night with me, But lonely walls, I'll keep you company. Hello window, (Hello, hello.) Well, I see that you're still here. Aren't you lonely, Since our darlin disappeared? Well look here, is that a teardrop in the corner of your pane? Now don't you try to tell me that's it's rain. She went away and left us all alone the way she planned. Guess we'll have to learn to get along without her if we can. Hello ceiling, (Hello, hello.) I'm gonna stare at you a while. You know I can't sleep, So won't you bear with me a while? We gotta all stick together or else I'll lose my mind. I gotta feelin' she'll be gone a long, long time. (Hello, hello wall.) |

Who once owned all the world And touch, me touch the arms That once held all the charms Of the world's sweetest girl Touch me, maybe someday you may Need to know how it feels when you lose And so touch me, you'll know How you feel with the blues Watch me, watch the eyes That have seen all the heartache And pain in the land And be thankful you're happy though Standing so close to the world's bluest man Don't forget me, take a good look At someone who's lost everything he can lose And then touch me and you'll know How you'd feel with the blues Don't forget me take a good look... |

The sun goes down it leaves me sad and blue
The iron curtain falls on this cold war with you Through you won't speak and I won't speak that's true Two stubborn people with a cold war to go through Why oh why should love ever come to couples like you and me Whose cold cold wars are never won and whose hearts just can't be free Oh let's do right or let's just say we're through I just can't stand another cold cold war with you Why oh why should love ever come to couples like you and me Whose cold cold wars are never won and whose hearts just can't be free Oh let's do right or let's just say we're through I just can't stand another cold cold war with you |

If I only had one arm to hold you
Well better yet if I had none at all Then I wouldn't have two arms that ache For you there'd be one less mem'ry to recall If I only had one ear to listen to The lies that you told to me Then I more closely resemble The half a man that you've made of me If I only had one leg to stand on Then how much how much truer picture you'd see 'Cause then I more closely resemble The half a man that you've made of me |

When you were with me
I was happy (happy-oo-oo) But you took my happy away (Away-ay-oo-oo) You had to go, leave me lonely (Lonely-oo-oo) And my lonely just won't go away (A-away-ay-oo-oo) I told you, I told you I'm sorry My sorry gets bigger each day With you in my arms I'd be happy (happy-oo-oo) But you took my happy away You must know by now How I need you (need you-ou-ou) But you treat my need you so wrong (So wro-ong-oo-oo) You must know by now How I love you (love you-ou-ou) So don't wait till my love you is gone Go-o-ne-oo-oo) I told you, I told you I'm sorry My sorry gets bigger each day With you in my arms I'd be happy (happy-oo-oo) But you took my happy away... |

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 cannot offer you diamonds and mansions so fine I cannot offer you all the clothes that your young body crave But if you'll say that you long to forever be mine Just think of the teardrops the heartaches and sorrow you'll save While I am writing this letter I think of the past And of the promises that you have broken so free And to this old world I'll soon say my farewell at last I will be gone when you read this last letter from me |

The seasons come, the seasons go
We get a little sunshine, rain and snow Just the way that it was planned to be But there's no seasons in my heart While you play the leading part 'Cause the flowers will bloom eternally Your leaving, will bring autumn sorrow And my tears like withered leaves will fall But spring, it could bring some glad tomorrow And darlin' we could be happy after all As it all is in natures' plan No season gets the upper hand. Oh How I tried to keep this fact in mind The trees are bare, the cold wind blows And by experience I know That winter comes, but the spring is close behind Your leaving, will bring autumn sorrow And my tears like withered leaves will fall But spring, it could bring some glad tomorrow And darlin' we could be happy.. after all... |

I'll walk alone
Where once we wandered It seems so strange Since you are gone Till you return I'll stay the same, dear I'll still be true And walk alone By stars above I swear to love you With all the love I've ever known While we're apart I'll stay the same, dear And when teardrops start I'll walk alone [ piano ] The flame of love Is brightly burning And you know that I'm Your very own Each night I pray For your returning But while you're gone I'll walk alone |

You say your heart will never break:
I hope so, for your sake. But happiness is sometimes hard, For hearts to cling to. You say he'll always be with you: I hope so, for your sake. But should he find somebody new, What would you do? If you were wrong, would you confess? I wouldn't know, but I could guess, That you would act the same as I, An' cry. And should these things ever come true, When love is gone, what will you do? Will you accept my love for you? I hope so, for my sake. If you were wrong, would you confess? I wouldn't know, but I could guess, That you would act the same as I, An' cry. And should these things ever come true, When love is gone, what will you do? Will you accept my love for you? I hope so, for my sake. |

I was born and raised on the river
It's the only life that I know People 'round here have put a name on me And I hear it wherever I go They call me river boy, river boy Good for nothin' river boy This old world don't hold a whole lot of joy When you're nothin' but a river boy I do a lot of fishin' on the river To make my livin' you see When I take my catch to the market place The people call out to me And they say, river boy, hey, river boy You got any fish today there, river boy I sell my ware, but nobody cares About the feelin's of the river boy There's a pretty girl works at the market place I see her there everyday But when I try to talk to her I can hear her papa say Come away from that river boy, he's a river boy Nothin' but riff-raff, them river boys No girl of mine is gonna waste her time On a good for nothin' river boy So I head my boat back up the river Back to my old fishin' place I'm afraid this ol' river's gonna overflow From the tears a-fallin' down my face I'm nothin' but a river boy, river boy A good for nothin' river boy This old world don't hold a whole lot of joy When you're nothin' but a river boy River boy, river boy A good for nothin' river boy River boy |

If you can't say you love me say you hate me
And that you regret each time you held me tight If you can't be mine forever then forsake me If you can't undo the wrong undo the right It was right when you loved me only But wrong when you held another tight So before you go away and leave me lonely If you can't undo the wrong undo the right It's too late to say your heart is filled with sorrow You can't undo what's done why do you try So please help me to face the new tomorrows If you can't undo the wrong undo the right It's too late to say your heart... |
