Is Anybody Going To San Antone lyrics - Charley Pride

Rain dripping off the brim of my hat

It sure is cold today

And here I am'a walking down sixty-six

Wish she hadn't done me that way

Sleeping under a table at a road side park

A man could wake up dead

But it sure seems warmer than it did

Sleepin in our king size bed

Is anybody goin to San Antone

Or Pheonix Arizona

Anyplace is alright as long as I 

Can forget I've ever known her

Wind whipping down the neck of my shirt

Like I ain't got nothing on

But I'd rather fight the wind and rain

Than what I've been fighting at home

Yonder comes a truck with the US mail

People writing letters back home

Tomorrow she'll probably want me back

But I'll still be just as gone

Is anybody goin to San Antone

Or Pheonix Arizona

Anyplace is alright as long as I 

Can forget I've ever known her

Anyplace is alright as long as I

forget I've ever known her

Thought Of Losing You lyrics - Charley Pride

You look good to me every morning over coffee even with the curlers in your hair

I just kinda smile and consider myself lucky

And I'm happy just to know that I've got you to care

Everything I am I am because you love me whatever I become depends on what you do

And yet I'm so afraid that you'll be gone some morning

And the one thing I can't stand is the thought of losing you

Through these eyes of mine I see you in protection

Darling no one else could love you more

And so you're mine alone and far off of temptation

But the thought of losing you scares me through and through

Everything I am...

I Think I'll Take A Walk lyrics - Charley Pride

I think I'll take a boat and sail the ocean and spend my life just roaming on the sea

And kiss the girls from Panama to China then she'll be sorry she mistreated me

I think I'll take a walk and think it over cause things are gettin' tougher for me here

Now that someone else has come between us I think I'll take a walk and disappear

I'll think about the way it makes me jealous to see her walking arm in arm with him

I'll think about the stars up in the heaven and wish that I could be on one of them

I think I'll take a walk just to forget her and walk about a million miles from here

I have a notion to just be a rambler I think I'll take a walk and disappear

Things Are Looking Up lyrics - Charley Pride

I just pull the tread and unravel my life with you

And I'm rebuilding at home a little at a time

Now and then your mem'ry slows my tragic down

But things are looking up I haven't lost my mind

Things are looking up I haven't called you now in day

The hurt still drops by every night but it no longer stay

When I can touch or taste or hear or see you in my mind

Yes things are looking up and all I need is time

I went to church with the kids and it didn't fall

I let them think they taught me into going

Their mom look proud and even held my hand

All things are looking up when hurt's not showing

Things are looking up...

Special lyrics - Charley Pride

The only thing I really own is what you see me wearing on my back

The only friends I've ever known are the kind you meet along a railroad track

The kind you bum tabacco from and view the world through a boxcar door

A friend who talks and makes you laugh has nothing much but gives you half

And maybe you don't see him anymore

Special I hear your lonesome whistle whine

It's calling me Special keep moving me on down the line

My mackinaw is full of holes and ain't too good at keepin' out the cold

My shoes are worn as paper thin my feet can feel the cinders through the soles

Sometimes I see a pretty girl and wonder what I've missed along the way

Once someone special wore my ring and loved me more than anything

I gave her up and caught a train one day

Special I had a special girl one time

Now she's not mine Special keep moving me on down the line

Poor Boy Like Me lyrics - Charley Pride

She grew up in the backwood country found her dreams in movie magazines

Now she's gone looking for her castle what chance is there for a poor boy like me

City lights oh you took my darling and the love that she promised me

After wine and big city parties what chance is there for a poor boy like me

Sold my house to Raverend Smith last Sunday left my farm with Abraham McGee

Had to go and rescue my darling from the life like your city folks lead

I found her dressed in fancy silks and satin spending money like it grew on trees

Living high in a big white mansion what chance is there for a poor boy like me

What chance is there for a poor boy like me

This Is My Year For Mexico lyrics - Charley Pride

I no longer notice if you're wearing perfume I quit smoking girl you never even knew

And the road is full of young and restless people and they pull off the energy to move

It's the habit for us to stay together we said and watched the nightly shadows grow

Every day last year I left for California this is my year for Mexico

We used to whisper low across the night time now we never whisper nor we call

Our love was left upon the shelf from winter where the sunlight never touches it at all

It's the habit for us...

Your back is turned to me while you are reading

I close my eyes while I pretend to toe

From the road I hear the sound of passing traffic some of them are bound for Mexico

It's the habit for us...

This is my year for Mexico

Me And Bobby Mcgee lyrics - Charley Pride

(originally by Roger Miller)

Busted flat in Baton Rouge headin' for the train feelin' nearly faded as my jeans

Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained took us all the way to New Orleans

I took my har'poon out of my dirty red bandana

And was blowing sad while Bobby sang the blues

With them windshield whipers slapping time

And Bobby clapping hands we finally sang up ever song that driver knew

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose

And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free

Oh but feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues

And feeling good was good enough for me good enough for me and Bobby McGee

From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun

Bobby shared the secrets of my soul

Standin' right beside me Lord through everything I done

And every night she kept me from the cold

Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away

Looking for the home I hope she'll find

And I'll trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday

Holdin' Booby's body next to mine

And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free

Oh but feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues

A body that was good enough for me good enough for me and Bobby McGee

La da da da dee da da da...

Good Chance Of Tearfall Tonight lyrics - Charley Pride

When we met you brought the sunshine in the summer of our love

And like the sun then everything was bright

Your love changes like the weather now there's dark clouds up above

And there's a good chance of tearfall tonight

Your love is like the weather it changes every day

Summer has turned to winter and nothing's right

The forecast is cold and lonely since you went away

And there's a good chance of tearfall tonight

Now I'm living in the winter of a love that used to be

Me and the clouds are low since you're gone

The rain has started falling as I think of you and me

And there's a good chance of tearfall all night long

Your love is like the weather...

And there's a good chance of tearfall tonight

One Time lyrics - Charley Pride

Tell me again how much you love me and that you're contented in these arms of mine

Tell me there's been no one else before me say you've only loved this way one time

Even if somebody else has kissed you say you've only known these lips of mine

Even if I'm not the first to hold you say you've only loved one time

If you knew someone before I found you always keep it from this heart of mine

Never let it show when I'm around you say you've only loved this way one time

Even if somebody else...

I'm So Afraid Of Losing You Again lyrics - Charley Pride

Sometimes I want to throw my arms around you

Then I tremble at the thought of giving in

Because I know how much it cost to love you and I'm so afraid of losing you again

Being close to you revives the sorrow that wakes me up and tells me I can't win

I'd love to wake up in your arms tomorrow but I'm so afraid of losing you again

If heaven were to hear my heart's confession wanting you would be my greatest sin

But I'm glad that you're no longer my possession

Cause I'm so afraid of losing you again

Being close to you...

But I'm so afraid of losing you again

Brand New Bed Of Roses lyrics - Charley Pride

I'm looking for a brand new bed of roses

A love just like mine that stands the test of time

I'm looking for a brand new bed of roses a love with everlasting clinging vine

Roses and true love fade a little now and then

But with the kiss and sunshine they'll blossom once again

I'm looking for a brand new bed of roses a love with everlasting clinging vine

Roses and true love...

A love with everlasting clinging vine

That's Why I Love You So Much lyrics - Charley Pride

You stood by me whenever times were bad and never once did I hear you complain

You always made the best of what little bit we had

And held your head up proud to wear my name

And that's just one of the reasons why I love you so much

You are the reason that I live

I know I've got a woman that no other man can touch

Who gives me all the love she has to give

You've sacrificed for dreams of mine that never did come true

You've done without to satisfy my needs

And everytime I've tried and failed I've found new strength in you

For not one time did you lose faith in me

And that's just one...

If You'd Have Only Taken The Time lyrics - Charley Pride

If you'd have only taken the time to tell me you're mine and say that you love me

I may not have been too eager then to tell you goodbye

But I made up my mind for sure this time that I'm gonna leave you

So next time don't wait don't hesitate appreciate the good man

I don't belong so I'll just move along it's better this way

A man should walk tall but you made me feel small and that's why I say

If you'd have only taken the time...

But I made up my mind...

But I made up my mind...

Gone Gone Gone lyrics - Charley Pride

The day you walked away you left the hurt behind

A hurt that kept on growing all the time

A hurt that lit the match that burned my world down

Till everything was gone gone gone

And now I'm left among the ashes of my dreams searching for a reason to go on

But all that's left is hurt and hurt is not enough when everything is gone gone gone

Now in my quiet garden I found peace at last I've left the hurt behind me in the past

I walk among the flowers that bloom here in the sun

And all the hurt is gone gone gone

But then at night they come and take me to my room

And like a little child I go along

And if my room has force it's not that I've done wrong

Yes just my mind is gone gone gone

Happy Street lyrics - Charley Pride

I was blue till I found you I didn't know where the road of life was leadin' me to

I'm on my own I walk alone it seems like Lonely Street would be my permanent home

But baby now I'm walkin' down Happy Street smilin' at everyone that I meet

Ain't it funny what fallin' in love can do oh honey

Now I'm walkin' down Happy Street I never thought life could be so sweet

Now I'm walkin' down Happy Street with you

Same old place same human race

But now it seems like the world's put on a happier face

Since you are mine each day I find

It's filled with sunshine and your love is makin' it shine

And baby now I'm walkin' down Happy Street smilin' at everyone that I meet

Ain't it funny what fallin' in love can do oh honey

Now I'm walkin' down Happy Street I never thought life could be so sweet

But anyplace is Happy Street with you

I'm A Lonesome Fugitive lyrics - Charley Pride

(originally by Merle Haggard)

I'd like to settle down but they won't let me a fugitive must be a rolling stone

Down every road there's always one more city I'm on the run the highway is my home

I raised a lot of cane back in my younger days

While mama used to pray my crops would fail

Now I'm a hunted fugitive with just two ways outrun the law or spend my life in jail

I'd like to settle down...

I'm lonely but I can't afford the luxury of having one I love to come along

She'd only slow me down and they'd catch up with me

For he who travels fastest goes alone

I'd like to settle down...

I'm on the run the highway is my home

It's All Right lyrics - Charley Pride

Couldn't tell my teacher my last name when I was in grade school

Stuttered when I talked and everybody laughed at me

I was a boy from across the tracks

I wore hand-me-downs on my back

But I swore that I'd never let the bitters get the best of me

Fell in love with a pretty little girl when I was older

And like a fool, I figured there was something I could make of me

But it wasn't in the cards 'cause her daddy was rich

And it was commonly plain to see

No matter what I did she would never take a likin' to me

But it's all right, it's all right

I come up the hard way and fought a good fight

And it's all right with me

It's all right, it's all right

I come up the hard way and fought a good fight

And it's all right with me

If I'm lucky I still got a few more years of livin'

And lady luck's never been a real good friend to me

I never asked a favour of a man in my life

But the preacher I'm gonna see

And tell him when I die say these words over me

Here lies a man who never asked the world for nothin'

He laboured in the sun and slept in the shade of a tree

His hands was calloused but his heart was warm

For his mind was pure and free

The good Lord knows that's the way a man's got to be

It's all right, it's all right

I come up the hard way and fought a good fight

And it's all right with me

But it's all right, it's all right

I come up the hard way and fought a good fight

And it's all right with me

It's all right, it's all right

Louisiana Man lyrics - Charley Pride

At first mom and papa called their little boy Ned

They raise him on the banks of the river bed

A houseboat tied to a big tall tree a home for my papa and my mama and me

The clock strikes three papa jumps to his feet

Already mama's cookin' papa somethin' to eat

At half past papa he's ready to go he jumps in his piro headed down the bayou

He's got fishin' lines strung across the Louisiana River

Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat

Headin' crops in the swamp catchin' everythin' he can

Gotta make a livin' he's a Louisiana man gotta make a livin' he's a Louisiana man

Muskart hides a hangin' by the dozen even got a lady make a muskart's cousin

Pile of hide drying in the hot hot sun tomorrow papa's gonna turn them into mon

Well they call mama Rita and my daddy Jack

A little baby brother on the floor that's Mac

Riz and Liz are the family twins big brother Ed's on the bayou fishin'

On the river float papa's great big boat that's how my papa goes into town

He takes every bit of the night and day

Then ever reach the place where the people stay

I can hardly wait till tomorrow comes around

That's the day my papa takes his fure to town

Papa promised me that I could go even let me see a cowboy show

I saw the cowboys and Indians for the first time then I told my papa gotta go again

Papa said son we got the lines to run we'll come back again there's work to be done

He's got fishin' lines...

She's Still Got A Hold On You lyrics - Charley Pride

So you're out there having fun and drinking with the guys

Trying to hide the hurt you feel inside

Someone plays the certain song and in spite of all you do she's still got a hold on you

She's still got a hold on you and many times her mem'ry still comes through

Now you say that you're set free but you'll know who's fooling who

Cause she's still got a hold on you

Now you say that you don't care as you have another round

You say you couldn't careless what happens to her now

Then you see a certain heirdo and it scares you through and through

Cause she's still got a hold on you

She's still got a hold on you if you can't see it friend oh then you're a fool

Now if you happen to be me then you'll know who's fooling who

Cause she's still got a hold on you cause she's still got a hold on you

Let the Chips Fall lyrics - Charley Pride

I'm finding that I'm spending most of my time

Wondering where she goes the rest of the time

But tonight I will find out for once and for all

Tonight I will follow her and let the chips fall

So let the chips fall let them fall where they may

My moment of truth is fast on its way

Soon I will know for once and for all so I'll just cross my fingers and let the chips fall

The life that I'm living is just half a life the girl that I married is just half a wife

But my life without her would be no life at all

Still I must know the truth so let the chips fall

Let the chips fall let them fall where they may

I'm ashamed of the game but there's no other way

I must hold her hand a man cannot crawl

So put the cards on the table and let the chips fall

Come On Home And Sing The Blues To Daddy lyrics - Charley Pride

Well I hear that your new romance has faded just the way ours did sometime ago

Why I've lost count of all the times I've waited

For you to tell me that you've missed me so

Yes come on home and sing the blues to daddy

Things ain't workin' out the way you planned

Yes come on home and sing the blues to daddy tell it all to one who understands

Like a child who's found a brand new plaything each one is more fun than those before

But there's a faithful one who's always waiting

To be picked up and kicked around some more

Yes come on home...

Come on home...

Never More Than I lyrics - Charley Pride

He'll buy you lots of pretty things fancy clothes and fancy rings

But he will never love you never more than I

Your pillard home all dressed in white will be cold on the summer's night

Cause he will never love you never more than I

Wealth and possession I admit I don't have very much of

I was born and raised a poor boy and all we had was love

So if you want what's made of clay take his hand and walk away

But he will never love you never more than I

Wealth and possession I admit...

But he will never love you never more than I

Let Me Live Again lyrics - Charley Pride

Let me live again let me live again

A little taste of heaven that I had before

Was just enough to keep me coming back for more

After loving you losing you was more than I could stand

Now I'm the ghost of what was once a man

Let me live again let me live again reach into my heart and light the light of love again

Let me see the sun let this darkness end

Take me back into your arms and let me live again

It would have been much better that we never met

An angel's love like yours is too much to forget

I can't help myself cause I can't be stronger than I am

I'm just the ghost of what was once a man

Let me live again...

Take Care Of The Little Things lyrics - Charley Pride

Stranger livin' in my house I'm writing this letter to you

There's a few odds and ends in my house that I neglected to do

Take care of the little things I'm depending on you

And love my sweet baby I neglected her too

The garden I planted needs water the house needs paintin' outside

The yard could stand a little mowin' each time that I pass by

Take care of the little things I neglected to do

And love my sweet baby I neglected her too

A washing machine's out of water by the way the car payment's due

As long as my roof's over your head as long as you're wearing my shoes

Take care of the little things I neglected to do

And love my sweet baby I neglected her too

And if my baby gets lonesome and calls my name in the night

Whispers sweet nothings tenderly and gently hold her tight

Take care of the little things I neglected to do

And love my sweet baby I neglected her too

And love my sweet baby I neglected her too

Even After Everything She's Done lyrics - Charley Pride

Yesterday tomorrow seemed a million years away

But here it is just twenty four hours later and I find that I still miss someone

I said I could despise her by the dawn of another day

But there's the sun and I don't hate her even after everything she's done

I convice myself I'd get her off my mind

A good night sleep and things would be all right

But I woke up this morning and now I realize that I can't forget her over night

I've tried to make myself believe that I'm much better off

I've told myself she's nothing special and I still find that she's the only one 

And if I'd live a million years I know I'd never change

I'd take her back and I'd forgive her even after everything she's done

Even after everything she's done even after everything she's done

It's Just A Matter Of Making Up My Mind lyrics - Charley Pride

Oh the sun's gonna come up tomorrow

And I'm gonna live to see it shine

I won't stop living just because you're leavin'

It's just a matter of makin' up my mind

My world will keep turnin' without you

Somehow I'll forget you in time

If not today then I will some day

It's just a matter of makin' up my mind

I can survive and get over you

Perhaps not now but there'll come a time

For I can do anything that I have to do

It's just a matter of makin' up my mind

It's just a matter of makin' up my mind

It's The Little Things lyrics - Charley Pride

The way you fix my tie in the morning and always brush my coat before I go

The hurried kiss I get from you when I'm leaving

It's the little things that make me love you so

The way you take my arm when we go walking

Way you hold my hand when we're at a show

The way your eyes say more than you when we're talking

It's the little things that make me love you so

Those little things you do that make me love you

They're all I need to make my dreams come true

And you know what tears me all to pieces

Is the way you tell me that you love me too

The way you know just how I like my coffee and how you chase away my every care

And the way you go around turning lights down low

It's the little things that make me love you so

It's the little things that make me love you so

Billy Bayou lyrics - Charley Pride

(originally by Jim Reeves)

Back about eighteen hundred and some a Louisiana couple had a red headed son

No name soothe him Jim Jack or Joe they just called him Billy Bayou

Billy Billy Bayou watch where you go you're walkin' on quick sand and walk slow

Billy Billy Bayou watch what you say a pretty girl'll get you one of these days

Billy was a boy kinda big for a size red hair and freckles and big blue eyes

Thirteen years from the day he was born Billy fought the battle of the Little Big Horn

Billy Billy Bayou...

One said day Billy cried ho-ho I can whip the feathers of Geronimo

He smarted off the chief got mad this nearly ended our Louisiana lad

Billy Billy Bayou...

One day in eighteen-seventy-eight a pretty girl walked through Bill's front gate

He didn't know whether to stand there and run

He would up married cause he did neighter one

Billy Billy Bayou...

A pretty girl'll get you one of these days

We Had All The Good Things Going lyrics - Charley Pride

It wasn't very long ago we had a love few people know

And everything was going oh so fine

I've trusted you you've trusted me the way that it's supposed to be

But the love slipped from us somewhere down the line

We had all of the good things going baby you know we did they were so kind

Enjoying the taste of the good life we all look for but few can't find

It's gone but we can't understand how love could slip right through our hands

On down the line things seem so very right

Our love went on for all these years we both knew that we were sincere

Then suddenly it was gone just over night

We had all of the good things...

Now that we've gone our seperate ways I still recall those brighter days

The days that didn't seem so very long

Neither of us are to blame we overly know that it's a shame

That all that we had going now is gone

We had all of the good things...

Lovesick Blues lyrics - Charley Pride

(Yodel) I got a feelin' called the blues oh Lord since my baby's said goodbye

Oh Lord I don't know what I'll do all I do is sit and sigh oh Lord

That last long day she said goodbye dear Lord I thought I would cry

She'll do me she'll do you she's got that kinda lovin'

Lord I love to hear her when she calls me sweet daddy

Such a beautiful dream I hate to think it all over I've lost my heart it seems

I've grown so used to you somehow oh Lord I'm nobody's sugar daddy now

And I'm lonesome I got the lovesick blues

Well I'm in love I'm in love with a beautiful gal yeah what's the matter with me

Well I'm in love I'm in love with a beautiful gal but she don't care about me

Lord I tried and tried to keep her satisfied but that girl wouldn't stay

So now that she is leavin' this is all that I can say

I got a feelin' called the blues...

Image Of Me lyrics - Charley Pride

Yes I know she's the life of the party and without her things here would die

Oh but don't be fooled by her laughter she has her sad times she knows how to cry

She drinks and she talks just a little too loud

And with her pride gone she tags along with any old crowd

Yes I know I'm to blame and I feel so ashamed that I made her the image of me

I met her in a little country town she was simple and old fashion in some way

But she loved me till I dragged her down then she just gave up and drifted away

She drinks and she talks...

That I made her the image of me

Kaw-Liga lyrics - Charley Pride

(originally by Hank Williams)

Kaw-Liga was a wooden Indian standin' by the door

He fell in love with an Indian maiden over in the antique store

Kaw-Liga well he just stood there and never let it show

So she could never answer yes or no

Poor ol' Kaw-Liga well he never got a kiss

Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he don't know what he missed

Is it any wonder that his face is red Kaw-Liga that poor ol' wooden head

He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawk

The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk

Kaw-Liga well he stood there as lonely as can be

Cause his heart was an ol' pine knoty tree

Poor ol' Kaw-Liga...

And then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid

He took her oh so far away but ol' Kaw-Liga stayed

Well he stood there and never let it show so she could never answer yes or no

Poor ol' Kaw-Liga...
