Music In My Heart (2017)












All By My Lonesome lyrics - Charley Pride

All by my lonesome heart broke and then some
Watchin' ol' re-runs on my TV
Drinkin' and cryin' so close to dyin'
I'm next to no one all by my lonesome

Thanks for sendin' someone by to see if I'm alright
I appreciate your concern tonight
But I don't need no company to offer up their sympathy
If it ain't you then I would rather be

All by my lonesome heart broke and then some
Watchin' ol' re-runs on my TV
Drinkin' and cryin' so close to dyin'
I'm next to no one all by my lonesome

Spent too much time behind the bars until you were gone
Now I'm doin' time for doin' you so wrong
I hope and pray that destiny will bring you right back here with me
But until then I'll hold you in my dreams

All by my lonesome heart broke and then some
Watchin' ol' re-runs on my TV
Drinkin' and cryin' so close to dyin'
I'm next to no one all by my lonesome
I'm next to no one all by my lonesome

You're Still in These Crazy Arms of Mine lyrics - Charley Pride

Crazy arms was playing on the jukebox
The first time that I ever danced with you
And from that moment on I knew forever
These arms would never reach for someone new

Every night I thank my lucky stars above
That you'll never be someone else's love
The dreams we treasured stood the test of time
And you're still in these crazy arms of mine

Now and then we take out Ray's old records
We put them on and turn the lights down low
We hold each other close and dance together
And feel this thing that we did long ago

Every night I thank my lucky stars above
That you'll never be someone else's love
The dreams we treasured stood the test of time
And you're still in these crazy arms of mine

And you're still in these crazy arms of mine

Standing In My Way lyrics - Charley Pride

I'm always there forever, I am
There between what I'm reaching for and the fingers on my hand
Blocking myself with things like words I shouldn't say
It seems I'm always standing in my way
Like the time I told you a lie
And I became the wall that stood between your heart and mine
I apologize but the truth is the truth don't ever fade
It seems I'm always standing in my way

My way is the hard way, I guess
Guys like me say no when we mean yes
I'd step aside if I could 'cause I live for your embrace
But it seems I'm always standing in my way

Why you stand beside me, I don't know
There's so many places a girl like you could go
I hope you see enough in me to make you wanna stay
'Cause it seems I'm always standing in my way

My way is the hard way, I guess
Guys like me say no when we mean yes
I'd step aside if I could 'cause I live for your embrace
But it seems I'm always standing in my way

I'd step aside if I could 'cause I live for your embrace
But it seems I'm always standing in my way
I'm always there forever, I am
There between what I'm reaching for and the fingers on my hand

Choices (2011)












America The Great lyrics - Charley Pride

Washington and Jefferson, I wonder what they'd say
If they came and seen the change in the USA today
Would they disappointed that we let our morals slide?
Are we losing family values? Did we push God aside?
Kennedy and Lincoln, they both made their lives for us
They would never do away with in God we trust
Everything's not perfect in our land today
This is still my country, and I'm proud to say

We live in America, the great
Oh glory waits for freedom, and reach that each day
Stand up with each other, and fight for what is right
And God will bless America tonight

They've taken the lost prayer from the classroom
Are we the only ones to feel supreme?
They took the ten commandments from the courthouse
If we don't agree it's up to you and me
So if you can't agree with what you hear and what you see
Don't leave it up to someone else it's up to you and me
We live in a free land so vote for his right
And even if we need that pray, he'll bless us all tonight

We live in America, the great
Oh glory waits for freedom, and reach that each day
Stand up with each other, and fight for what is right
And God will bless America tonight
And God will bless America tonight

Except For You lyrics - Charley Pride

Except for you
I've never known what love is
Or how it feels, to have a dream come true
But now I find my world no longer lonely
And the way that it would be, except for you
One by one
You mended all the pieces
Of a heart that someone broke in two
You filled my life with happiness and sunshine
That I never would have known
Except for you
You brought all the rainbow colours to a world of solid blues
And nothing prettier than rainbows, except for you
And so my love, I wanted just to tell you
This old heart won't beat again
This old heart won't beat again
This old heart won't beat again
Except for you
Except for you

Hickory Hollow Times And County News lyrics - Charley Pride

I was sitting on the sofa in my music row apartment
Opening up a letter from my best friend, Silus Blue
He included last week's issue of our tiny hometown paper
With a note that said he finally got his picture in the news

So I started on the front page with the mayor and the bar chief
Driving big old tractors in the founder's day parade
And a story about the JC's annual bake sale at the bar home
Raising money for the orphans, selling cookie and [?]

Got the farming boat, the high school sports
Fishing news and bowling scores
The weather and the ladies' gossip too

Who's left town and who's come home
Who's been born and who's passed on
Who's divorced and who's married who
In the Hickory Hollow Times & County News

It's reported Henry Johnson was seen courting the widow Jackson
Outside in the moonlight on the Moose Lodge patio
Sue Walker said she saw him holding hands in church on Sunday
Holding hands in church reminds me of my old sweetheart, Betty Joan

And right there on the next page grinning like a parson
My old buddy, Silus, in his tux and cowboy boots
And standing close beside him in her bridal gown and diamonds
Betty Joan, my high school sweetheart, the new Mrs. Blue

Got the farming boat, the high school sports
Fishing news and bowling scores
The weather and the ladies' gossip too

Who left town and who's come home
Who's been born and who's passed on
Who's divorced and who's married who
In the Hickory Hollow Times & County News

And you know it makes me happy to see 'em happy too
In the Hickory Hollow Times & County News
In the Hickory Hollow Times & County News

The Choices She Made lyrics - The Choices She Made

She didn't have to marry down so far
[?] with raising babies or driving older car
She didn't have to give so much and be so underpaid
Lord, I don't know how she's living with the choices she made

She didn't have to wear those bargain threads
[?] those dandy hands, moping floors and changing beds
She had a sweet on easy street, with her hand she could have played
But she threw out all her aces for the choices she made

She'll stand there in defiance of a logic she ignored
The springs lay peaceful smile upon her face
Using up her youth on some old cowboy
Would finally pay the bills on hope and faith

Time goes by, it doesn't change a thing
But she still thinks it's worth it all to wear that little ring
And I still lay beside her wishing I was worth the price she paid
All teary eyed and thankful for the choices she made

This Bed's Not Big Enough lyrics - Charley Pride

Been so many little ways you let me know
He's still on your mind
All along I've been aware that you still care about him
I'm not blind

But tonight when I reached out for you
You close your eyes and call me by his name
I think it's time I let you know the way I feel
Something's gotta change

This bed's not big enough for the three of us
One of us has got to leave beyond his memory
This bed's not big enough for the three of us
So make up your mind which one you want to keep

Oh, we've been living in the shadow of love
You can't leave behind
I've done everything I know to break his hope
To finally make you mine

Now I'm wondering if I'll ever have
The part of you I've never had before
You brought him to bed with you tonight
And I won't take this anymore

This bed's not big enough for the three of us
One of us has got to leave beyond his memory
This bed's not big enough for the three of us
So make up your mind which one you want to keep

So make up your mind which one you want to keep

I Miss My Home lyrics - Charley Pride

Too many nights I've been awake
We both so lonely, we don't know what to say
It's hard to hold on to a dream
When the sacrifice is hurting you and me

I hear your voice on the line
Sounds so sweet, I feel like mine

I miss my home
Everything I'm living for is not where I come from
I'll carry on and I'm back in the arms of the one love
'Cause I miss my home

Hope don't come easy, faith is hard to find
It's been so long since I had some peace of mind
The only thing that makes me Lord, my angel waiting there for me tonight

I miss my home
Everything I'm living for is not where I come from
I'll carry on and I'm back in the arms of the one love
'Cause I miss my home

I miss my home
Everything I'm living for is not where I come from
I'll carry on and I'm back in the arms of the one love
'Cause I miss my home

Oh, I miss my home

Maybe Love Will Save The Day lyrics - Charley Pride

Let's count all your reasons for leavin'
And add up all the reason's to stay
Maybe we'll find something to believe in
When a memory drifts back to the good ol' day

Let's take some time to remember
Before we just toss our love away
Let's spend one more night together
And maybe love will save the day

Tomorrow we can talk about forever
Maybe then we'll see things in a different light
Heart to heart let's sleep on it together
All we've got to lose is one more night

Let's take some time to remember
Before we just toss our love away
Let's spend one more night together
And maybe love will save the day

Let's spend one more night together
And maybe love will save the day

You Touched My Life lyrics - Charley Pride

You touched my life and made my heart awaken
You brought the joy that I've been dreaming of
You changed my world into a thing of beauty
When you touched my life with your sweet love

You touched my life and suddenly I'm living
You touched my chains and suddenly I'm free
Free from the year that went by without a feigning
When you touched my life so tenderly

You and you alone had the eyes to see the song in me
That lay unheard [?] that longed to be set free
You and you alone had the gift to give to make [?]
And set them free for your love was the melody

You touched my days and gave me back the sunshine
You touched my nights and I touched the stars above
You taught my heart that miracles can happen
When you touched my life, when you touched my life
When you touched my life with your sweet love

You Can't Sit Still lyrics - Charley Pride

Now you may not feel like dancing
Or getting up at all
You may not be in the mood
To heed my beckoned call

When that guitar starts to get you
Squirming in your seat
Might as well just give it up
And get up on your feet

'Cause you can't sit still
When that music starts to play
No, you can't sit still
Oh, don't throw the urge away

And you can't sit still
When that music starts to play
Now you can't sit still
So don't throw the urge away

Just let that rhythm take you up
And out across that floor
Grab some [?] and boogie down
'Cause you can't sit still no more

Can't you feel it, Bill?
Oh, don't you know you can't sit still?

You were caught all week long now
And you know it's Friday night
You're gonna lay down your hard earned money
And you bought yourself a ride

So put your arm around her
And show her once again
What it was about your rock 'n' roll
She was a-grooving on way back when

'Cause you can't sit still
When that music starts to play
No, you can't sit still
Oh, don't throw the urge away

You can't sit still
When that music starts to play
No, you can't sit still
So don't throw the urge away

Just let that rhythm take you up
Out across that floor
Grab some [?] and boogie down
'Cause you can't sit still no more

Can't you feel it, Bill?
Oh, you know you can't sit still
Can't you feel it, Bill?
Oh, you know you can't sit still, oh yeah

Resting Place lyrics - Charley Pride

Many times our work seems endless
As we la-bor in the fields
But I know the day is coming
When sweet rest will be revealed

Resting place four square city
Resting place heavenly shore
Resting place land of beauty
Where we'll rest forever more

Loved ones going on before us
How we mourn their passing souls
But God's words has spoken comfort
They have found this rest I know

Resting place four square city
Resting place heavenly shore
Resting place land of beauty
Where we'll rest forever more

Now there's a place prepared up yonder
Where the cool clear waters flow
And I'm longing for that country
And someday soon that's where I'll go

Resting place four square city
Resting place heavenly shore
Resting place land of beauty
Where we'll rest forever more

Resting place land of beauty
How I'm longing for that country
Where we'll rest forever more
Where we'll rest forever more
Forever more

Chain Of Love lyrics - Charley Pride

He was driving home one evening
In his beat up Pontiac
When an old lady flagged him down
Her Mercedes had a flat
He could see that she was frightened,
Standing out there in the snow
'Til he said I'm here to help you ma'am
By the way my name is Joe.

She said I'm from St. Louis
And I'm only passing through
I must have seen a hundred cars go by
This is awful nice of you
When he changed the tire
And closed her trunk
And was about to drive away
She said how much do I owe you
Here's what he had to say.

You don't owe me a thing, I've been there too
Someone once helped me out
Just the way I'm helping you
If you really want to pay me back
Here's what you do
Don't let the chain of love end with you.

Well, a few miles down the road
The lady saw a small cafe
She went in to grab a bite to eat
And then be on her way
But she couldn't help but notice
How the waitress smiled so sweet
And how she must've been eight months along,
And dead on her feet.

Though she didn't know her story
And she probably never will
When the waitress went to get her change
From a hundred dollar bill
The lady slipped right out the door
And on a napkin left a note
There were tears in the waitress's eyes
When she read what she wrote.

You don't owe me a thing
I've been there too
Someone once helped me out
Just the way I'm helping you
If you really want to pay me back
Here's what you do
Don't let the chain of love end with you.

This last verse of this song I really like

That night when she got home from work
The waitress climbed into bed
She was thinkin' about the money
And what the lady's note had said
And as her husband lay there sleeping
She whispered soft and low
Everything's gonna be alright, I love you, Joe

Two Pump Texaco lyrics - Charley Pride

He was wipin' motor oil off her dipstick
She was pullin' on the hair that got caught in her lipstick
And with the smell of her perfume he forgot the smell of gasoline
As he was toppin' off her tank she said, "How far to Abilene?"

He sees 'em come, he sees 'em go
From the island of his two pump Texaco

There's a rusted out rambler up on the rack
And a pile of bald Goodyear's out in the back
He meets families on vacation, bikers and businessmen
He calls 'em friend, but he'll probably never see 'em again
No, he won't

He sees 'em come, he sees 'em go
From the island of his two pump Texaco
He keeps 'em movin' on down the road
Come back real soon to his two pump Texaco

He's heard about those big city shop 'n' go stations
With twenty automated self service machines
He just feels sorry for them big city people
They must not know what service really means
He's got a sign that says

Last chance stop for at least two hundred miles
Maps, gas, soda pop, Lucky Strikes and moon pies
Yeah, he's a third generation filler up, full service man
He thanks the Lord for that star in the sky
And the grease on his hands, yeah, he does

He sees 'em come, he sees 'em go
From the island of his two pump Texaco
It's like a place we used to know
Come back real soon to his two pump Texaco

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
