Comfort Of Her Wings (2003)

Comfort Of Her Wings lyrics - Charley Pride

There's a place they call The Bottom,
And friends: I've been there once or twice.
It's dark down there and lonely,
And something's missin' in your life.

Tonight I thought I'd had enough,
When I heard a voice said:"Don't give up!"
That whisper had an old familiar ring;
I didn't see the angel, but I felt the comfort of her wing.

Daddy always called her angel, 
I never knew the reason why.
I was looking for a halo; 
He was looking in her eye.

She was always there to guide me 
With all the love a gentle hand could bring.
I didn't see the angel, 
But I felt the comfort of her wing.

Now I'm looking back in time
To a young man stumbling through the kitchen door.
How Mama kept on praying
When she couldn't tell me nothing any more.

I woke up in my bed again,
I guess she must have tucked me in;
I can't remember much of any thing.
I didn't see the angel, but I felt the comfort of her wing.

Daddy always called her angel, 
I never knew the reason why.
I was looking for a halo; 
He was looking in her eye.

She was always there to guide me 
With all the love a gentle hand could bring.
I didn't see the angel, 
But I felt the comfort of her wing.

Now that's why Lord made her an angel.
I feel the comfort of her wings.

Have I Got Some Blues For You lyrics - Charley Pride

The one you love stopped by to see me today -
Said she just couldn't tell you she was goin' away

I took her to the station, and I held her as she cried,
And she asked me if I would tell you goodbye

Have I got some blues for you - your baby's gone
Have I got some blues for you - you're all alone
I hate to be the one who has to bring you this bad news -
Have I got some blues for you

I wish you could've heard it on the news tonight -
Or read it in the mornin' paper in black and white

Then I wouldn't have to be the one who breaks your heart in two,
But she told me she'd found somebody new

Have I got some blues for you - your baby's gone
Have I got some blues for you - you're all alone
I hate to be the one who has to bring you this bad news -
Have I got some blues for you
Have I got some blues for you

"The Power Of Love" (1984)




The Power Of Love lyrics - Charley Pride

Love didn't have much to work with 
When it got a hold of me
Still recovering from my last time out 
Doing my best to learn to live without it
Just when I thought all my feelings had died 
Something came over me that can't be denied

Don't under estimate the power of love
You're never down so low that it can't lift you up
Don't under estimate what it can do
I'm living proof of the power of love.

It didn't hit me like lightening 
From a dark and stormy sky
It came on more like a peaceful wind
It made me feel like trying again
I didn't realize how good it could be
Until love worked its magic on me.

Don't under estimate the power of love
You're never down so low that it can't lift you up
Don't under estimate what it can do
I'm living proof of the power of love.

Don't under estimate the power of love
You're never down so low that it can't lift you up
Don't under estimate what it can do
I'm living proof of the power of love.

"Night Games" (1983)




Night Games lyrics - Charley Pride

When that neon sun comes up
In the evening
And that warm red wine and the memories
Start to flow

You'll find me there
With all the others
Just looking for love
The only way we know

Oh, we're playing night games
(Oh, we're playing night games)
Love at first sight games
(First sight games)
The only way to fight pain
Under the neon lights

Oh, we're playing night games
(Oh, we're playing night games)
Looking for the right things
(Right things)
Hoping that it might bring
Two hearts together tonight

Now if you're sitting alone tonight
And feeling lonely
And you can hear that jukebox
Calling you

And if you think it's time
You found somebody
(Somebody)
Just come on down
And do what we all do

Oh, we're playing night games
(Oh, we're playing night games)
Love at first sight games
(First sight games)
The only way to fight pain
Under the neon lights

Oh, we're playing night games
(Oh, we're playing night games)
Looking for the right things
(Right things)
Hoping that it might bring
Two hearts together tonight

Oh, we're playing night games
(Oh, we're playing night games)
Love at first sight games
(First sight games)
The only way to fight pain
Under the neon lights

Oh, we're playing night games
(Oh, we're playing night games)
Looking for the right things

More And More lyrics - Charley Pride

More and more I'm forgetting the past more and more I'm living at last
Day by day I'm losin' my blues more and more I'm forgettin' bout you
But oh how hard I'd tried to keep you by my side
And oh how I cried the day we said goodbye
Day by day I'm losin' my blues more and more I'm forgettin' bout you
But oh how hard I'd tried to keep you by my side
And oh how I cried the day we said goodbye
Day by day I'm losin' my blues more and more I'm forgettin' bout you

Why Baby Why lyrics - Charley Pride

Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby cry

Well, I got a crow I wanna pick with you
Just like last time when the feathers flew
You're runnin' wild a-kickin' up your heels
A-leavin' me home with a hand full of bills

I can't live without you and you know it's true
But there's no livin' with you so what'll I do
I'm goin' honky tonkin', getting' tight as I can
And maybe by then you'll 'preciate a good man

Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why
You made me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby cry 
I can't live without you till the day that I die

Girl, now I don't know, but I've heard say
That ever' little dog is a-gonna have his day
You'd better pay attention, don't you dare forget
'Cause I'm just a little bitty puppy yet

I caught you honky tonkin' with my best friend
The thing to do was leave you, but I should'a left then
Now I'm too old to leave you, but I still get sore
When you come home a-feelin' for the knob on the door

Well, tell me why baby, why baby, why baby why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby cry
I live without you 'til the day that I die
So tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby why...
Tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby why...

"Everybody's Choice" (1982)




I Don't Think She's In Love Anymore lyrics - Charley Pride

Well, I came in late again last night
Really, it was this morning
I had my alibi down pat
I was gonna be charming

But the locks were all changed
I was stuck outside
With a key that no longer fit
There was a note on the door
That said, adios, sayonara
Goodbye, this is it

I don't think she's in love anymore
She's hanging up her telephone
And locking her door
I don't think she wants to
Hear anymore of my lying

I don't think she's in love anymore
She's not buying my lies like before
The only thing she wants
Out of me now is goodbye

So I went down to a phone booth
Almost down to crying
All ready to spill the truth
I see she's tired of my lying

Well, I was all ready to beg and plead
And to turn over a brand new leaf
But the second she heard
It was me on the line
I heard click, she hung up on me

I don't think she's in love anymore
She's hanging up her telephone
And locking her door
I don't think she wants to
Hear anymore of my lying

I don't think she's in love anymore
She's not buying my lies like before
The only thing she wants
Out of me now is goodbye

I don't think she's in love anymore
She's hanging up her telephone
And locking the door
I don't think she wants to
Hear anymore of my
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

I don't think she's in love anymore
She's not buying my lies like before
The only thing she wants
Out of me now is goodbye

You're So Good When You're Bad lyrics - Charley Pride

You're a lady, you're an angel, 
Bringin' sunshine to my life.
You're closest thing Heaven that I've ever had.
Oh, but sometimes, you're a devil,
When you reach out and dim the lights,
An' I say, mmm mmm, you're so good when you're bad.

You would never hurt anybody,
You're too gentle sweet and kind,
Still I keep on doin' things that make you sad.
But you don't hold out on your feelin's,
When there's lovin' on your mind.
An' I say, mmm mmm, you're so good when you're bad.

I could say that you're the perfect woman,
And if it's not, it's just because of me.
'Cause I'm hung up on the perfect woman,
An' I don't know how I deserve to be.

I see other pretty women,
An' Lord, they still, they look good to me.
An' there are some ladies that can drive some men mad.
But when an angel let's her hair down,
Oh, that's something else to see.
An' I say, mmm mmm, you're so good when you're bad.

An' I say, mmm mmm, you're so good when you're bad.

"Roll On Mississippi" (1981)




Roll On Mississippi lyrics - Charley Pride

Walking along, whistling a song,
Barefoot and fancy free,
A big riverboat, passing us by, she's headed for New Orleans
There she goes, disappearing around the bend.
Roll on Mississippi; you make me feel like a child again.

A cool river breeze, like peppermint leaves,
The taste of it takes me back,
Chewin on a straw, torn overalls,
A cane pole and old straw hat and muddy river.
Just like a long lost friend.
Roll on Mississippi; you make me feel like a child again

Roll on Mississippi, big river roll.
You're the childhood dream that I grew up on.
Roll on Mississippi, carry me home.
Now I can see I've been away too long.
Roll on, Mississippi, roll on.

Now, when the world's spinning round, too fast for me,
And I need a place to dream.
So I come to your banks, I sit in your shade
Relive the memories
Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn
Roll on Mississippi; you make me feel like a child again

Roll on Mississippi, Big river roll
You're the childhood dream that I grew up on.
Roll on Mississippi, carry me home.
Now I can see I've been away too long.
Roll on, Mississippi, roll on, Mississippi,
Roll on, Mississippi, roll on
Roll on, Mississippi, roll on 
Roll on, Mississippi, roll on

You Almost Slipped My Mind lyrics - Charley Pride

She walked right up to me and took me by the hand
An angel who could please most any man
She said to me, I'm free and you're just my kind
And for a moment you almost slipped my mind

Almost, you almost slipped my mind
I could taste, taste her kisses in the wine
But your memory came and found me just in time
But for a moment you almost slipped my mind

Now I can see how sometimes a man can be so blind
Let himself be led astray become the cheating kind
I'd found myself falling for that same old line
Yes, for a moment you almost slipped my mind

Yes, for a moment you almost slipped my mind

"There's A Little Bit Of Hank In Me" (1980)




There's A Little Bit Of Hank In Me lyrics - Charley Pride

Well Hank I never met you but I sure heard you sing
At a little bitty port down in Mississippi you filled my heart with dreams
I got an old guitar and I learned how to sing as you did the Lovesick Blues
So Hank if you're listenin' there's one just for you
There's a little bit of Hank in me
Cause I caught it in my voice of the radio '53
And I've done your songs in the cotton fields and on coast to coast TV
And every time I sing Kaw-Liga there's a little bit of Hank in me

Well I'll bet I've done Your Cheatin' Heart at least a million times
And Hank you're still the jukebox king from LA to Caroline
No music has no boundary it comes from the heart
And where my music comes from Hank you play the leading part
There's a little bit of Hank in me...
And every time I sing Kaw-Liga there's a little bit of Hank in me

My Son Calls Another Man Daddy lyrics - Charley Pride

Tonight my head is bowed in sorrow I can't keep the tears from my eyes
My son calls another man daddy the right to his love I've been denied
My son calls another man daddy he'll never know my name nor my face
God only knows how it hurts me for another to be in my place

Each night I lay there in prison I pictured a future so bright
For he was my one ray of sunshine that shone through the darkness of night
Today his mother shares a new love she just couldn't stand my disgrace
My son calls another man daddy...
For another to be in my place

Moanin' The Blues lyrics - Charley Pride

When my baby moved out and the blues moved in there wasn't nothing I could do
But mosey around with my head in my hands oh Lord what am I comin' to
I just keep moanin' moanin' the blues
I wrote a nice long letter sayin' mama please come home
Your daddy is lonesome and all I do is moan
I've been lovin' that gal for so doggone long I can't afford to lose her now
I thought I was right but I must have been wrong cause my head is startin' to bow
And now I'm moanin' moanin' the blues

If you want a good gal to stay around you got to treat her nice and kind
If you do her wrong she'll leave this town and you'll almost lose your mind
Then you'll be moanin' moanin' the blues
Oh baby baby baby honey baby please come home
Your daddy is lonesome and all I do is moan
I promise you baby that I'll be good and I'll never be bad no more
Sittin' here waitin' for you right now to walk through that front door
Then I'll stop moanin' moanin' the blues then I'll stop moanin' moanin' the blues

Mansion On The Hill lyrics - Charley Pride

I can see your mansion on the hill
Tonight down here in the valley I'm lonesome and oh how I feel
As I sit here alone in my cabin I can see your mansion on the hill
Do you recall when we parted the story to me you've revealed
Yes you said you could live without love dear in your loveless mansion on the hill

I've waited all through the years love to give you a heart true and real
Cause I know you're living in sorrow in your loveless mansion on the hill
The light shines bright from your window the trees stand so silent and still
And I know you're alone with your pride dear in your loveless mansion on the hill
In your loveless mansion on the hill

Mind Your Own Business lyrics - Charley Pride


(originally by Hank Williams)


If the wife and I are fussin' brother that's our right
Cause me and that sweet woman's got a licence to fight
Why don't you mind your own business mind your own business
Cause if you mind your own business then you won't be mindin' mine
On the woman on our party line's a nosey thing
She picks up her receiver when she knows it's my ring
Why don't you mind your own business mind your own business
So if you mind your own business then you won't be mindin' mine
Well I got a little gal that wears her hair up high
The boys all whistle out every time she walks by
Why don't you mind your own business mind your own business
For if you mind your own business then you won't be mindin' mine

If I wanna honky tonk around till two or three
Brother that's my headache don't you worry bout me
Why don't you mind your own business mind your own business
So if you mind your own business then you won't be mindin' mine
Mindin' other people's business seems to be hightone
But I got all that I can do just midin' my own
Why don't you mind your own business mind your own business
For if you mind your own business then you won't be mindin' mine
For if you mind your own business you'll stay busy all the time

I Can't Help It (If I'm Still In Love With You) lyrics - Charley Pride

(I can't help it if I'm still in love with you)
Today I passed you on the street and my heart fell at your feet
And I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
Somebody else stood by your side and he looked so satisfied
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
A picture from the past came slowly stealing
As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you
Then suddenly I got that old time feeling I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

It's hard to know another's lips are gonna kiss you
Oh and hold you just the way I used to do
Oh the heavens only know how much I miss you
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
No I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

Honky Tonk Blues lyrics - Charley Pride

(originally by Hank Williams)

Well I left my home down on a rural route I told my folks I'm goin' steppin' out
Forget the honky tonk blues hey the honky tonk blues
Yeah Lord I got 'em I got the honky tonk blues

Well I went to a dance and wore out my shoes
Woke up this mornin' wishin' I could lose
That jumpin' honky tonk blues that weary honky tonk blues
Yeah Lord I got 'em I got the honky tonk blues

Well I stopped into every place in town this city life has really got me down
I got the honky tonk blues yeah the honky tonk blues
Yeah Lord I got 'em I got the honky tonk blues
Gonna tuck my worries underneath my arm get right back to my pappy's farm
Forget the honky tonk blues yeah the honky tonk blues
Yeah Lord I got 'em I got the honky tonk blues
Don't wanna be bothered with the honky tonk blues

I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry lyrics - Charley Pride


(originally by Hank Williams)


Hear that lonesome whippoorwill he sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low I'm so lonesome I could cry
I've never seen a night so long when time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind a cloud to hide its face and cry

Did you ever see a robin weep when leaves began to die
That means he's lost the will to live I'm so lonesome I could cry
The silence of a falling star lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry
I'm so lonesome I could cry

I Could Never Be Ashamed Of You lyrics - Charley Pride

Everybody says you let me down I should be ashamed to take you round
Makes no difference what you used to do darling I could never be ashamed of you
Maybe you were reckless yesterday but together we can find a brighter day
In my heart I know that you'll come true darling I could never be ashamed of you

All the happiness I've ever known came the day you said you'd be my own
And it matters not what we go through darling I could never be ashamed of you
Maybe you've been cheated in the past and perhaps those memories will always last
Even though you prove to be untrue darling I could never be ashamed of you
Darling I could never be ashamed of you

Why Don't You Love Me lyrics - Charley Pride


(originally by Hank Williams)


Well why don't you love me like you used to do
How come you treat me like a worn out shoe
My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue
Why don't you love me like you used to do
Ain't had no lovin' like a huggin' and a kissin' in a long long while
We don't get nearer or further or closer than a country mile
Why don't you spark like you used to do
And say sweet nothings like you used to coo
I'm the same old trouble that you've always been through
So why don't you love me like you used to do

Well why don't you be just like you used to be
How come you find so many faults with me
Somebody's changed so let me give you a clue
Why don't you love me like you used to do
Ain't had no lovin' like a huggin' and a kissin' in a long long while
We don't get nearer or further or closer than a country mile
Why don't you say the things you used to say
What makes you treat me like a piece of clay
My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue
Why don't you love me like you used to do
So why don't you love me like you used to do

You Win Again lyrics - Charley Pride


(originally by Hank Williams)


The news is out all over town that you've been seen a running round
I know that I should leave but then I just can't go you win again
This heart of mine could never see what everybody knew but me
Just trusting you was my great sin what can I do you win again

I'm sorry for your victim now cause soon his head like mine will bow
He'll give his heart but all in vain and someday say you win again
You have no heart you have no shame you take true love and give the blame
I guess that I should not complain I love you still you won again

"You're My Jamaica" (1979)




Missin' You lyrics - Charley Pride

Well, I wake up every mornin'
Throw some water on my face
I look up in the mirror
I can see that nothing's changed

I don't know why I go to bed
'Cause I never sleep a wink
All I do without you here
Is lie awake and think

Missin' you
Every night, I call your name
Missin' you
Every day the same old thing

Missin' you
Oh, what else can I do?
The sun comes up, the sun goes down
And I'm still missin' you

I went to church last Sunday
And I got down on my knees
I sent up a prayer just askin' please
Just to send down a little peace

You know, lately I just walk the line
To occupy my time
But I end up where I started from
With you back on my mind

Missin' you
Every night, I call your name
Missin' you
Every day the same old thing

Missin' you
Oh, what else can I do?
The sun comes up, the sun goes down
And I'm still missin' you

The sun comes up, the sun goes down
And I'm still missin' you
