See her there at the table
Watch her tear at the label
From the bottle that she just drank dry
In her mind there's a burning
It took a long time, but she's learning
And just look at the deardrops she's cried.
Everbody knows I love her
But her mind is on another
And just look what he's done to her pride
And if she should change her mind
Give up the music and the wine
I'll be standing by to be the next in line
I know her favourite songs so well
And she's happy, I can tell
Just as long as she can hear the juke box play
So I'll keep playing it loud
I'll spend every dime I have
To keep her happy, in my own kind of way
Everbody knows I love her
But her mind is on another
And just look what he's done to her pride
And if she should change her mind
Give up the music and the wine
I'll be standing by to be the next in line...
D-I-V-O-R-C-E lyrics - Conway Twitty
Our little boy is four years old and quite a little man
So we spell out the words we don't want him to understand
Like T-O-Y or maybe S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E
But the words we're hiding from him now
Tears the heart right out of me.
Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final today
You and little J-O-E will be going away
I love you both and this will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E.
Watch him smile he thinks it's Christmas or his fifth birthday
And he thinks C-U-S-T-O-D-Y spells fun or play
I spell out all the hurtin' words
Then turn my head when I speak
'Cause I can't spell away this hurt
That's dripping down my cheeks.
Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final today
You and little J-O-E will be going away
I love you both and this will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E...
So we spell out the words we don't want him to understand
Like T-O-Y or maybe S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E
But the words we're hiding from him now
Tears the heart right out of me.
Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final today
You and little J-O-E will be going away
I love you both and this will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E.
Watch him smile he thinks it's Christmas or his fifth birthday
And he thinks C-U-S-T-O-D-Y spells fun or play
I spell out all the hurtin' words
Then turn my head when I speak
'Cause I can't spell away this hurt
That's dripping down my cheeks.
Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E becomes final today
You and little J-O-E will be going away
I love you both and this will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E...
With Pen In Hand lyrics - Conway Twitty
With pen in hand you signed your name
Today at five I'll be on that train
And you'll be free and I will be alone so alone
If you think we can't find the love we once knew
If you think I can make everything up to you
Then I'll be gone and you'll be on your own
You'll be on your own.
Can you take good care of Johnny
Can you take him to school everyday
Can you teach him how to catch a fish
And keep all those bullys away, hear what I say
Can you teach him how to whistle a tune
Can you tell him about the Man in the Moon
If you can do these things then maybe he won't miss me
Maybe he won't miss me.
And tonight as you lay in that big lonely bed
Can you look at the pillow where I laid my head
And with your heart on fire will you have no desire
To kiss me and to hold me
And if you can forget the good times we had
If you think that the good times won't outweigh the bad
Then sign your name and I'll be on my way
I'll be on my way. hmm hmm...
Today at five I'll be on that train
And you'll be free and I will be alone so alone
If you think we can't find the love we once knew
If you think I can make everything up to you
Then I'll be gone and you'll be on your own
You'll be on your own.
Can you take good care of Johnny
Can you take him to school everyday
Can you teach him how to catch a fish
And keep all those bullys away, hear what I say
Can you teach him how to whistle a tune
Can you tell him about the Man in the Moon
If you can do these things then maybe he won't miss me
Maybe he won't miss me.
And tonight as you lay in that big lonely bed
Can you look at the pillow where I laid my head
And with your heart on fire will you have no desire
To kiss me and to hold me
And if you can forget the good times we had
If you think that the good times won't outweigh the bad
Then sign your name and I'll be on my way
I'll be on my way. hmm hmm...
Us lyrics - Conway Twitty
Please don't take you out of us
You took the happy out of happiness
You took the love out of loveliness
Take all these precious things from me if you must
But please don't take you out of us.
You took the tender out of tenderness
You took the hope out of hopefulness
Take all these precious things from me if you must
But please don't take you out of us.
Take everything away that's keeping me alive
And you can take away my memory, I still survive
Take all the happiness that I've ever known
Take all the tenderness that you've ever shown
Take all these precious things from me if you must
But please don't take you out of us...
You took the happy out of happiness
You took the love out of loveliness
Take all these precious things from me if you must
But please don't take you out of us.
You took the tender out of tenderness
You took the hope out of hopefulness
Take all these precious things from me if you must
But please don't take you out of us.
Take everything away that's keeping me alive
And you can take away my memory, I still survive
Take all the happiness that I've ever known
Take all the tenderness that you've ever shown
Take all these precious things from me if you must
But please don't take you out of us...
I Told My World To Go Away lyrics - Conway Twitty
I grew tired of the world that I was living in
I looked around and found another world to take me in
It was bright and new with the skies of blue not like my skies of grey
And so I told my world to go away.
This world's not big enough for both of us so one of us must go
My mem'ry burns with unkind words I said
This world's not big enough so one of us must break away and so
I told my world to go away and she did.
What makes a man think that he can turn his world away
To wander through a world that's new and then return someday
To the one he knew was good and true the one he loved at home
I ask my world to take me back but she won't.
This world's not big enough for both of us so one of us must go
My mem'ry burns with unkind words I said
This world's not big enough so one of us must break away and so
I told my world to go away and she did...
I looked around and found another world to take me in
It was bright and new with the skies of blue not like my skies of grey
And so I told my world to go away.
This world's not big enough for both of us so one of us must go
My mem'ry burns with unkind words I said
This world's not big enough so one of us must break away and so
I told my world to go away and she did.
What makes a man think that he can turn his world away
To wander through a world that's new and then return someday
To the one he knew was good and true the one he loved at home
I ask my world to take me back but she won't.
This world's not big enough for both of us so one of us must go
My mem'ry burns with unkind words I said
This world's not big enough so one of us must break away and so
I told my world to go away and she did...
Ain't It Sad To Stand And Watch Love Die lyrics - Conway Twitty
Ain't it sad to stand and watch love die
Ain't it sad to stand and watch love die
Unfaithful wife I took her life and the quicklin' of the knife
And ain't it sad to stand and watch love die?
I found her in the arms of my best friend
And I vowed she's never gonna hurtin' me again
And in a bitter anger I shoot them where they lied
And the last words she spoke God forgive me then she died
And ain't it sad to stand and watch love die?
The neighbors gathered round so they could see
Oh my God, what have you done, they started asking me
So I placed a gun up to my head and this was my reply
Neighbor ain't it sad to stand and watch love die?
Ain't it sad to stand and watch love die?
Neighbor ain't it sad to stand and watch love die?..
Ain't it sad to stand and watch love die
Unfaithful wife I took her life and the quicklin' of the knife
And ain't it sad to stand and watch love die?
I found her in the arms of my best friend
And I vowed she's never gonna hurtin' me again
And in a bitter anger I shoot them where they lied
And the last words she spoke God forgive me then she died
And ain't it sad to stand and watch love die?
The neighbors gathered round so they could see
Oh my God, what have you done, they started asking me
So I placed a gun up to my head and this was my reply
Neighbor ain't it sad to stand and watch love die?
Ain't it sad to stand and watch love die?
Neighbor ain't it sad to stand and watch love die?..
Today I Started Loving You Again lyrics - Conway Twitty
(originally by Merle Haggard)
Today I started loving you again
I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
And today I started loving you again.
What a fool I was to think I could get by
With only these few million tears I cried
I should have known the worst was yet to come
And crying time for me had just begun.
Today I started loving you again
I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
And today I started loving you again.
And today I started loving you again...
Today I started loving you again
I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
And today I started loving you again.
What a fool I was to think I could get by
With only these few million tears I cried
I should have known the worst was yet to come
And crying time for me had just begun.
Today I started loving you again
I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
And today I started loving you again.
And today I started loving you again...
Folsom Prison Blues lyrics -
I hear the train a comin'
It's rolling round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine
Since I don't know when.
I'm stuck in Folsom prison,
And time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a rollin'
On down to San Anton.
When I was just a baby
My mama told me. Son,
Always be a good boy,
Don't ever play with guns.
But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die
Now every time I hear that whistle
I hang my head and cry.
I bet there's rich folks eating
In a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee
And smoking big cigars.
Well, I know I had it coming,
I know I can't be free
But those people keep a movin'
And that's what tortures me.
Well, if they'd free me from this prison,
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move just a little further
Down the line.
Far from Folsom prison,
That's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle
Blow my blues away...
It's rolling round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine
Since I don't know when.
I'm stuck in Folsom prison,
And time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a rollin'
On down to San Anton.
When I was just a baby
My mama told me. Son,
Always be a good boy,
Don't ever play with guns.
But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die
Now every time I hear that whistle
I hang my head and cry.
I bet there's rich folks eating
In a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee
And smoking big cigars.
Well, I know I had it coming,
I know I can't be free
But those people keep a movin'
And that's what tortures me.
Well, if they'd free me from this prison,
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move just a little further
Down the line.
Far from Folsom prison,
That's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle
Blow my blues away...
Things I Lost In You lyrics - Conway Twitty
It's over, I've known it for a long time
So I went out and found somebody new
She gave me the kind of love I wanted
And I found in her the things I lost in you.
I loved you darlin', how I loved you
I still recall each tender memory
But there's one thing I guess I'll never understand
What made you turn and walk away from me.
I thought it would last for a lifetime
I didn't think you'd ever prove untrue
Oh, but it's over I found someone who really cares
And I found in her the things I lost in you...
So I went out and found somebody new
She gave me the kind of love I wanted
And I found in her the things I lost in you.
I loved you darlin', how I loved you
I still recall each tender memory
But there's one thing I guess I'll never understand
What made you turn and walk away from me.
I thought it would last for a lifetime
I didn't think you'd ever prove untrue
Oh, but it's over I found someone who really cares
And I found in her the things I lost in you...
I'm Checking Out lyrics - Conway Twitty
Lately you've been acting kind of strange, it's true
Everybody knows there's been a change in you
You come home for awhile and then you're gone again
Well I thought I'd better let you know just where I stand.
I'm tired of bein' the loser in this game you play
You're gonna wish you'd been truer, when I'm gone someday
You'll try to get me to come back, but I won't make a deal
And I thought I'd better let you know just how I feel.
I feel like crying each night when I'm alone
I feel like dying each time you don't come home
But that's all over now, I've learned a thing or two
I might just go out and find myself somebody new.
And just in case you're wonderin' what it's all about
Well, I thought I'd better let you know I'm checking out.
I feel like crying each night when I'm alone
I feel like dying each time you don't come home
But that's all over now, I've learned a thing or two
I might just go out and find myself somebody new.
And just in case you're wonderin' what it's all about
Well, I thought I'd better let you know I'm checking out.
Well, I thought I'd better let you know I'm checking out...
Everybody knows there's been a change in you
You come home for awhile and then you're gone again
Well I thought I'd better let you know just where I stand.
I'm tired of bein' the loser in this game you play
You're gonna wish you'd been truer, when I'm gone someday
You'll try to get me to come back, but I won't make a deal
And I thought I'd better let you know just how I feel.
I feel like crying each night when I'm alone
I feel like dying each time you don't come home
But that's all over now, I've learned a thing or two
I might just go out and find myself somebody new.
And just in case you're wonderin' what it's all about
Well, I thought I'd better let you know I'm checking out.
I feel like crying each night when I'm alone
I feel like dying each time you don't come home
But that's all over now, I've learned a thing or two
I might just go out and find myself somebody new.
And just in case you're wonderin' what it's all about
Well, I thought I'd better let you know I'm checking out.
Well, I thought I'd better let you know I'm checking out...
Dim Lights, Thick Smoke And Loud, Loud Music lyrics - Conway Twitty
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home-loving man
A home and little children mean nothing to you
A house filled with love and a husband that's true
You'd rather have a drink with the first guy you meet
And the only home you know is the club down the street
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home-loving man
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home-loving man...
Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home-loving man
A home and little children mean nothing to you
A house filled with love and a husband that's true
You'd rather have a drink with the first guy you meet
And the only home you know is the club down the street
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home-loving man
Dim lights, thick smoke and loud, loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home-loving man...
Skip A Rope lyrics - Conway Twitty
Skip a rope, skip a rope
Awwwww listen to the children
While they play
Now, ain't it kinda' funny
What the children say.
Skip a rope.
Daddy hates momma and momma hates dad
Last night, you should've heard the fight they had
It gave little sister another bad dream
She woke us all up with a terrible scream.
Skip a rope, skip a rope,
Awwwww listen to the children
While they play
Now, ain't it kinda' funny
What the children say.
Skip a rope.
Cheat on your taxes, don't be a fool
Now, what was that they said about a Golden Rule?
Well, never mind the rules, just play to win
And hate your neighbor for the shade of their skin.
Skip a rope, skip a rope.
Awww listen to the children
While they play
Now, ain't it kinda' funny
What the children say.
Skip a rope.
Stab 'em in the back,
That's the name of the game
And momma and daddy
Are who's to blame.
Skip a rope, skip a rope.
Awww listen to the children
While they play
It's really not very funny
What the children say.
Skip a rope, skip a rope.
Skip a rope, skip a rope
Awwwww listen to the children
While they play
Now, ain't it kinda' funny
What the children say.
Skip a rope.
Daddy hates momma and momma hates dad
Last night, you should've heard the fight they had
It gave little sister another bad dream
She woke us all up with a terrible scream.
Skip a rope, skip a rope,
Awwwww listen to the children
While they play
Now, ain't it kinda' funny
What the children say.
Skip a rope.
Cheat on your taxes, don't be a fool
Now, what was that they said about a Golden Rule?
Well, never mind the rules, just play to win
And hate your neighbor for the shade of their skin.
Skip a rope, skip a rope.
Awww listen to the children
While they play
Now, ain't it kinda' funny
What the children say.
Skip a rope.
Stab 'em in the back,
That's the name of the game
And momma and daddy
Are who's to blame.
Skip a rope, skip a rope.
Awww listen to the children
While they play
It's really not very funny
What the children say.
Skip a rope, skip a rope.
Skip a rope, skip a rope
Sing Me Back Home lyrics - Conway Twitty
The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
'Let my guitar playing friend do my request'
'Let him sing me back home with a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die'
I recall last Sunday morning a choir from 'cross the street
Came to sing a few old gospel songs
And I heard him tell the singers, 'There's a song my mama sang
Could I hear once before you move along?'
"Sing me back home the song my mama sang
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die
Sing me back home before I die"
I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
'Let my guitar playing friend do my request'
'Let him sing me back home with a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die'
I recall last Sunday morning a choir from 'cross the street
Came to sing a few old gospel songs
And I heard him tell the singers, 'There's a song my mama sang
Could I hear once before you move along?'
"Sing me back home the song my mama sang
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die
Sing me back home before I die"
The Image Of Me lyrics - Conway Twitty
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-fashioned in some ways
But she loved me till I dragged her down
Then she just gave up and drifted away.
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...
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-fashioned in some ways
But she loved me till I dragged her down
Then she just gave up and drifted away.
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...
