Burgers And Fries lyrics - Charley Pride

Burgers and fries and cherry pies, it was simple and good back then
Walking in the sand hand in hand never thinking that it could end
Making our love with the moon above at the drive in picture show
And it was burgers and fries and cherry pies in a world we used to know

Changes come and go we've had our share I know
Now it seems we don't have time for love anymore
All the things we used to say, little things we did each day
Oh I long to do the things that we did before

When it was burgers and fries and cherry pies, it was simple and good back then
Walking in the sand hand in hand never thinking that it could end
Making our love with the moon above at the drive in picture show
And it was burgers and fries and cherry pies in a world we used to know

Well I'm still the same old me, that's all I'll ever be
I'd like to think that you're the same old you
We lost something down the line that I wish we both could find
Lord I'd like to do the things that we used to do

When it was burgers and fries and cherry pies, it was simple and good back then
Walking in the sand hand in hand never thinking that it could end
Making our love with the moon above at the drive in picture show
And it was burgers and fries and cherry pies in a world we used to know

Best In The World lyrics - Charley Pride

I know she's gonna get me back when I get home again
Cause she pretends to get upset when I call her little girl
And as we lie there trying to outlove each other
Knowing there never could be any other
I realize I'm up against the best in the world

I always liked competition but I've never had it so strong
Cause she likes to play her little games every day and I'm happy just to play along
She says honey you know that I love you more than you could ever love me
And as I leave for the day I just laugh and say
Little girl when the night comes we'll see
Cause I know she's gonna get me back...
Yes I realize I'm up against the best in the world

Whose Arms Are You In Tonight lyrics - Charley Pride

Whose arms are you in tonight darling is it someone I know
Whose arms are holding you tight so baby don't ever go

If arms were just harbors then you seen the world from one to another you sail
Yes you tried to hide it but have you feel low it's almost like reading your mail
Whose arms are you in tonight...
No baby don't ever go

Nothing's Prettier Than Rose Is lyrics - Charley Pride

Nothing's prettier than Rose is she's the sunshine of my day
Nothing's prettier than Rose is she's my everything to say

Rose has always been a plain me they say beauty once was her desire
Rose to me has so much altere one look in her eyes sets me on fire
Nothing's prettier than Rose is...

Rose will always be my special one she got much more than I deserve
Rose will always be my morning sun she mends my strenght and gives me nerve
Nothing's prettier than Rose is...

Mem'ries lyrics - Charley Pride

Mem'ries I've got a million of those mem'ries in my mind
Mem'ries I think I've got enough to leave you behind
Oh mem'ries they used to make me warm but now I find
Mem'ries only make me feel old before my time
Mem'ries try not to think about the mem'ries all the time
Mem'ries forget the days when your sweet love was mine
Oh mem'ries I used to welcome them but now I find
Mem'ries only make me feel old before my time
Is there a way to make them go away now that I finally realize
Mem'ries only make me feel old before my time

When I Stop Leaving (I'll Be Gone) lyrics - Charley Pride

How do some folks stay in love like a honeymoon couples that can't get enough
How can love be tender yet so tough as it grows
I've left you and I've come back so many times I can't keep track
What is it one of us lacks do you know
When I stop leaving I'll be gone when I stop leaving you I'll be gone
Love's not gettin' any clearer sometimes I think it's all done with mirrors
When I stop leaving I'll be gone

I need you and you need me still we pay for love love that's free
Should we hang together or independently and let it go
I come back each time I leave we make love then we shout and scream
Bottom line time what does it mean oh do you know
When I stop leaving...
When I stop leaving I'll be gone when I stop leaving you I'll be gone

I Can See The Lovin' In Your Eyes lyrics - Charley Pride

Lovin' you's the last thing I think of every night
The first thing in the morning when I rise
There's no doubt in my mind that you were made for me
Cause I can see the lovin' in your eyes
I can feel the lovin' in your fingers I can hear the lovin' in your sigh
I can taste your lips so warm and tender I can see the lovin' in your eyes

I don't have to wonder if what you feel is real I just let my conscience be my guide
You give me every reason for believing in you cause I can see the lovin' in your eyes
I can feel the lovin'...
I can see the lovin' in your eyes I can see the lovin' in your eyes

One On One lyrics - Charley Pride

And when it's one on one she's a different kind of girl
In a lovin' kind of world where our own private day has just begun
And when it's one on one after all the daily grind
I'm the one thing on her mind when she whispers now it's one on one

She likes to have attentions and she gets it everywhere she ever goes
She loves crowds and noisy parties goin' out at night and wearin' sexy clothes
She's a lady every minute if she's working hard or out just having fun
But through it all I know she's thinking bout the time when it gets down to one on one
And when it's one on one...

Where Do I Put Her Memory lyrics - Charley Pride

I've taken down all of her pictures
I've cleaned out all of her drawers
I've painted over the scratches
From all of our little wars

I've put away every gift
That she ever gave to me
Now everything is in its place
Except for her memory

And where do I put her memory
When it haunts me night and day
I can't hide it in the closet
And Lord, I can't throw it away

And where do I put her memory
When it's always in my mind
I can't chase it, erase it, I just have to face it
It's gonna be there a long, long time

I got rid of the pillow
Where she used to lay her head
I've picked up her hairpins and curlers
That she dropped on her side of the bed

I've locked away each souvenir
And thrown away the key
Now everything is in it's place
Except for her memory

And where do I put her memory
When it's always in my mind
I can't chase it, erase it, I just have to face it
It's gonna be there a long, long time
It's gonna be there a long, long time

You Snap Your Fingers (And I'm Back In Your Hands) lyrics - Charley Pride

You snap your fingers and just like that I'm back in your hands
I cried a river washin' your mem'ry away
And I finally made it at least till you phoned me today
And I nearly hung up but teardrops destroyed my plan
You snap your fingers and just like that I'm back in your hands
You snap your fingers and just like that I'm back in your hands
Startin' all over right back where I've always been
And I'm just beginnin' to learn some things never end
You snap your fingers and just like that I'm back in your hands

And I'm just beginnin'...
You snap your fingers and just like that I'm back in your hands

"Someone Loves You Honey" (1978)




Someone Loves You Honey lyrics - Charley Pride

I wanna share your life every minute every day and night
And I just want you to know that whatever you do and wherever you go
Remember someone loves you honey no matter what just be my girl
Someone loves you honey more than anything in the world

I'm so glad that I'm the one that you come to when you need someone
That's what my love is for that's a shoulder to lean on a port in the storm
Remember someone loves you...

Georgia Keeps Pulling On My Ring lyrics - Charley Pride

Georgia sweet sweet Georgia keeps pulling on my ring
Most men would give their right off or anything they own
To have a woman just like you to be waiting when they come home
But the devil made me cheat on you one too many times
And honey I'm sorry but she left heaven on my mind
Georgia sweet Georgia keeps pulling on my ring
I need her and I love her Lord she's a sweet and precious thing
Her sweet and easy loving Lord beats all I've ever seen
Georgia sweet sweet Georgia keeps pulling on my ring

I didn't want to fall in love with anybody else
But when I tasted heaven Lord I just couldn't help myself
I pray someday that you'll forget and forgive me for everything
But I just can't seem to love you with Georgia pulling on my ring
Georgia sweet Georgia...
Georgia sweet sweet Georgia keeps pulling on my ring

I Live You lyrics - Charley Pride

I don't just love you I live you where I'm concerned nothing comes before you
If I had ten lifetimes every one I'd give you
No I don't just love you no I don't just love you I live you

Every moment with you makes a memory
When I stumble you're the reason I don't fall
My life is what you make it and you make it beautiful
Words can describe you but love said it all
Cause I don't just love you...

Play Guitar Play lyrics - Charley Pride


(originally by Conway Twitty)


Play, guitar play
Take me back to yesterday
Let me see cotton growin' in the fields
Let me hear my momma callin' 
"Look a yon-der y'all who's comin'! 
Down the road, he's comin' home!" 
But they know I never will. 

I left them livin' with that awful thang I done
I didn't tell them I just packed my clothes and run

Play guitar play
Help me through another day. 
Help me make another dollar before I go
We got time for one more song
Then we'll have to move along
Another town another crowd
Lord I wonder if they know

Can they read between the lines in my songs 
As I sing about a good boy, that went wrong 
Guitar we got years to kill
Got to climb that distant hill 
I wonder if they think of me.

Another I Love You Kind Of Day lyrics - Charley Pride

Wake up and open your eyes breakfast's on and the sun is high
Off to work I'll kiss you goodbye I'll phone you at noon and I'll miss you till five
It's another I live you kind of day
Cause you're with me through everything I do and say
It's another I live you kind of day
It's another I live you kind of night it's on its way

Come home evening news is on feeling good with you in my arms
How was the day honey mine was mourn
Turn off the world and turn some lovin' on
It's another I live you kind of day...
It's another I live you kind of night it's on its way

More To Me lyrics - Charley Pride

Yes more to me than anything else I've ever known
More to me than anything else I'm ever gonna see
Just your love is all that I need to depend upon
And each day that passes by you're more to me

When I'm gone away thoughts of you keep a runnin' through my mind
Like a sunny day I can feel your warm sweet love light shinin' all over me
Till I'm back in your arms again
And every time I find the feelin's stronger than it's ever been
Yes more to me...

Till my life is through you're the one that I'll be livin' for
Every day with you I just seem to need you even more
And I want to say that I never thought I'd see
Anyone like you who cares so much for someone else like me
Cause more to me...
And each day that passes by you're more to me

Daydreams About Night Things lyrics - Charley Pride

I'm having daydreams about night things in the middle of the afternoon
And while my hands make a living my mind's home loving you
I'm having daydreams about night things in the middle of the afternoon
And every night you make my dreams come true

Now all day long while I'm workin' in town time slows down to a crawl
When I'm not thinkin' about you well I'm checkin' the clock on the wall
Then it's goodbye factory and hello love and there's a smile across my face
Cause I'm back in the arms of your sweet love where my thought have been all day
So I'm having daydreams...

I'm having daydreams...

Days Of Sand And Shovels lyrics - Charley Pride

When I noticed her the first time I was outside running barefoot in the rain
She lived in the house next door her nose was pressed against the window pane
When I looked at her she smiled and showed a place where two teeth used to be
And I heard her ask her mom if she could come outside and play with me
Soon the days of sand and shovels gave way to the mysteries of life
Then I noticed she was changin' and I looked at her through different eyes
We became as one and knew a love without beginning or an end
Everyday I lived with her was like a new day dawning once again
And I've loved her since every doll was Shirley Temple soda pop was still a nickel
Jam was on her fingertips milk was circkled on her lips

After many years our love grew silent and at night I heard her cry
When she left me in the fall I said that it would be our last goodbye
I was man enough to give her everything she needed for a home
In searching for a perfect love I found that I could not give her a child
Now she lives a quiet life and is the mother of a little girl
Everytime I pass her house my thoughts go back into another world
Because I see her little girl her nose is pressed against the window pane
She thinks I'm a lonely man who wants to come inside out of the rain
And I've loved her since...

I'm Never Leavin' You lyrics - Charley Pride

If we go should live hill forever I'll be there beside you while we do
I don't know how long we have to gather I just know I'm never leaving you
No matter where the road will be leading or what kind are things we running to
Just as long as my heart keeps on beating darling I am never leaving you
We won't think about the bridges that we're burning
Hand in hand we'll cross the ones we're coming through
For as long as this world keeps on turning darling I am never leaving you
No darling I am never leaving you

"She's Just An Old Love-Turned Memory" (1977)




She's Just An Old Love Turned Memory lyrics - Charley Pride

I phoned her today, an accidental mistake
And her name slipped out to some friend
Forgotten old feelin's brand new today'
'Cause I'm right back where I've always been
She's just an old love turned memory
And now I seldom see her around
She's just an old love turned memory
But she still turns my world upside down
I went to some places where I knew she'd be
Just to prove love was over and done
But the moment her eyes touched mine I knew
My sorrow had only begun
She's just an old love turned memory
And now I seldom see her around
She's just an old love turned memory
But she still turns my world upside down

I'll Be Leaving Alone lyrics - Charley Pride

Yes, I'll buy you a drink
If you'd like me to
I might even dance
A slow one with you

Lord, knows you're a looker
And, honey, what's more
It's not hard to see
What you're looking for

'Cause you're as tempting a woman
As I've ever seen
But there's someone in Dallas
Who's trusting in me

She's the mother of my children
I'm the rock she leans on
So thank you but no thank you
I'll be leaving alone

As we dance in the shadows
And you're holding me tight
I can feel the invitation
I've seen in your eyes

And the soft light and the music
And the wine's rosy glow
Ain't making it easy
For me to say no

'Cause you're as tempting a woman
As I've ever seen
But there's someone in Dallas
Who's trusting in me

She's the mother of my children
I'm the rock she leans on
So thank you but no thank you
I'll be leaving alone

So thank you but no thank you
I'll be leaving alone

"The Happiness Of Having You" (1975)




I've Got A Woman To Lean On lyrics - Charley Pride

(I've got a woman to lean on)
I've seen times there was no way the sun could ever shine
And I've seen me so completely down and I count up every time
But I've got me something special that keeps me going strong
When life gets rough hmm hmm I've got a woman to lean on
I've got a woman to lean on when I need her she stands by
She's a lovin' flowin' fountain the stream that never will run dry
She's a lady and she's a mother I think of which some kinda lover
Hmm hmm I've got a woman to lean on
I can't buy her the things I'd like but I don't hear her complain
If I needed water to save my life I think she could make it rain
And it's just a fact of livin' that sometimes things go wrong
But I don't worry hmm hmm I've got a woman to lean on
I've got a woman to lean on...
Hmm I've got a woman to lean on

Oklahoma Morning lyrics - Charley Pride

Oh!
On an early autumn day
Freshness of the breeze brought the mornin'
And the sun came risin' up
Shinin' down on leaves that fell like golden snow
And the mystery of it all
Made the problems of the day seem unimportant
That Oklahoma mornin'
Puts Oklahoma sunshine in my soul
There ain't nothin' like an Oklahoma mornin'
Nothin' like it when you're feelin' low
It warms up your mind and your body
It puts Oklahoma sunshine in your soul
Our campfire came to life
The crackling of the fire and smell of coffee
Turned back the time
To a day when a man could listen for a while
To the sound of mother nature
Without the sound of industry in the background
That Oklahoma mornin'
Puts Oklahoma sunshine in my smi-i-ile
There ain't nothin' like an Oklahoma mornin'
Nothin' like it when you're feelin' low
It'll warm up your mind and your body
It puts Oklahoma sunshine in your soul
One more time
There ain't nothin' like an Oklahoma mornin'
Nothin' like it when you're feelin' low
It'll warm up your mind and your body
It puts Oklahoma sunshine in your soul
It puts Oklahoma sunshine in your soul
Wooh! Thankyou

"Charley" (1975)




Hope You're Feelin' Me (Like I'm Feelin' You) lyrics - Charley Pride

No one could hold me no one could control me but now my future is up to you
Your lovin' can shape me make me or break me
Oh I hope you're feelin' me like I'm feelin' you
This feeling is crazy and only you can save me
From this love thing that I've got for you
Your love is a potion Lord and I need a notion
Oh I hope you're feelin' me like I'm feelin' you
Cause these changes got me goin' in circle
First I turn away then turn right back to you
Well I need your lovin' to keep me from sinkin'
Oh I hope you're feelin' me like I'm feelin' you

Wanna win when I gamble no need to ramble I doubled my lovin' when I gave it to you
I gotta do it with you I can't do it without you
Oh I hope you're feelin' me like I'm feelin' you
Cause these changes got me...
Yes I hope you're feelin' me like I'm feelin' you

Searching For The Morning Sun lyrics - Charley Pride

Standin' in a pouring rain on a cold Chicago day
A worn and battered suitcase in my hand
Watch the trains pullin' in and out the people are rushin' about
Wondering what goes to the making of a man
Searching for the morning sun and anyplace and everyone
Lord I've got a troubled mind looking for something that I might never find

Sittin' on a crowded train a ticket in my right hand
Nothing but confussion on my mind
Now there's been several towns thought I'd lay my wandering down
I tried 'em once then I left them all behind
Searching for the morning sun...
Searching for the morning sun..
Looking for something that I might never find

Hardest Part Of Livin's Loving Me lyrics - Charley Pride

Yes you're the hardest part of livin's loving me
Must be thousands of good reasons that I may never see
Still you keep that candle burnin' let me live there in your dreams
You're the reasons for tomorrow you're the sunshine morning brings

I've got friends in lots of places and I'm quick to call their names
And I know you've got a lotta friends and you could do the same
I've got answers to that problem solutions they can't see
But you're hardest part of livin's loving me
I've got feelings for the man who's down and it hurts to see his pain
And I know that when you cry at night those tears like falling rain
But it's crying tears of hoping for the things you prayed to be
And you're hardest part of livin's loving me
Yes you're the hardest part...
You're the reasons for tomorrow you're the sunshine morning bring

Now And Then lyrics - Charley Pride

Now and then if I could just see you just enough to get me through
Get me through the times when I need love take me in now and then
Now and then hold me in the night just enough to get me by
Get me by when I feel so alone take me in now and then
Now and then I need the kind of love and the kind of love you give is all I'll ever need
All I need is showing me you care and knowing you'll be there to believe in me

Now and then if I could count on you just enough to see me through
See me through the times when I need love take me in now and then
Now and then I need the kind of love...
Now and then now and then

Fools lyrics - Charley Pride

Fools never learn you play with fire and you gonna get burn
You and I are fools we play with love so we gonna get burn
Fools that's what we are fools we've gone too far I know
But then love you come to me your eyes on fire you tempted me
Love knows no bound beggar or king it'll bring you down
Fools find love somehow fools we can't stop now I know
But then love this I know fool I may be I can't let go
Love this I know fool I may be I can't let you go fool I may be I can't let you go

I Ain't All Bad lyrics - Charley Pride

I picked last night in Tucson I sang 'em a country song
Missed my plane this morning Lord cause we parted all night long
I'm out here now usin' my thumb tryin' to make it to El Paso
Cause tonight I play at the cabarete they done told it on the radio
To a country singer it's a lonesome road with time hangin' heavy on my hands
If I take a little pleasure and a little bit of love baby that don't makes me all bad

I've been high and I've been low and I've been to San Antone
But the worst by far than I've ever been was when I've been alone
Tomorrow night I'm in Austin I've got some old friends there
Cause there's old Jeff and Willie and Sam and a girl with the long dark hair
To a country singer...

There's one last stop down in Shreveport on this tour of one night stands
And I've got some time but no peace of mind till I'm back on the road again
If my old guitar had learned to talk it'll tell about the things I done
There's a mighty good woman back in big D but never ever let me come home
To a country singer...
If I take a little pleasure and a little bit of love baby that don't makes me all bad

She's As Close As I Can Get To Loving You lyrics - Charley Pride

Her hair should be a little darker and her eyes should be a deeper blue
She's not perfect but I'm happy I found her
Cause she's as close as I can get to loving you
She doesn't know she's being used and it would break her heart in two
If she knew that she was playing the part I planned for you
I should be ashamed to love her the way that I do
But she's as close as I can get to loving you

You'd've prove of the way that she dresses
From her ear-rings to the style of her shoes
I conquer everything that I remember and she's as close as I can get to loving you
She doesn't know she's being used...
But she's as close as I can get to loving you

One Mile More lyrics - Charley Pride

Old beatup suitcase on the platform a train ticket in my hand
And a train just arrivin' that'll take me as far as fourteen dollars can
But a train won't take me far enough it never has before
I gotta find how far a memory reaches and then go one mile more
I ain't never found a mountain that was high enough or a hole too dark and deep
Cause if I lose her mem'ry in a bottle of wine then she'll find me in my sleep

I think of me and that old suitcase the places we both been
All the rails and jails and the cheap hotels and now we're gone again
And when I'll ride my money up and they won't let me ride no more
Then I'll wait by the track for a slow movin' freight and watch for an open door
I ain't never found a mountain...
Then she'll find me in my sleep then she'll find me in my sleep

Lovin' Understandin' Man lyrics - Charley Pride

My baby changes like the weather one day she's warm and then she's cold
But some day I'll understand her better in a thousand years or so
But as long as there's blue sky above me and as long as there's life in my hand
My baby knows I always will be her lovin' understandin' man

My baby rocks me like the ocean don't know which way she's gonna go
But maybe some day she'll find direction in a thousand years or so
But as long as there's blue sky...

But as long as there's blue sky...
Her lovin' understandin' man

"Pride Of America" (1974)




Then Who Am I lyrics - Charley Pride

If he's the one that's always on your mind the only one who's love can satisfy
If he's the one that keeps your heart alive then who am I who am I
Am I no more than just a rock you needed for a stepping stone
Until the right one came along
If he's the one that live with you inside then who am I who am I

Am I no more than just a fool that held you up when you were down
Until your true love could be found
If he's the one that live with you inside then who am I who am I
Yes who am I who am I
