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

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

You're My Jamaica lyrics - Charley Pride

Every day I read ads in the paper

Saying come to the islands

Bikinied ladies sweet rum drinks, yeah

They'll keep you smiling

But I've got calypso music on the record at home

And when it comes to the warmth and sunshine

Well, I got my own

You're my Jamaica

You're where I want to be

You're my island when I am being

Tossed on a stormy sea

My heavenly haven

Where I can spend eternity

You're my Jamaica

Your paradise to me

White sunny sand palm trees and tans

It's sounds so inviting

(Sounds so inviting)

Limbo dancing and star light romancing

It's all so exciting

But I got my flowery shirt

And rum punch in my hand

And my own exotic lover in my native land

You're my Jamaica

You're where I want to be

You're my island when I am being

Tossed on a stormy sea

My heavenly haven

Where I can spend eternity

You're my Jamaica

You're paradise to me

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

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 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

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

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...
