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
