We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee
And we don't take our trips on LSD
We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street
'Cause we like living right and being free.
We don't make a party out of loving
But we like holding hands and pitching woo
And we don't let our hair grow long and shaggy
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do.
And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
A place where even squares can have a ball
And we still wave Ol' Glory down at the courthouse
And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all.
Cowboy boots are still in style for manly footwear
Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen
And football's still the roughest thing on campus
And the kids here still respect the college dean.
And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
A place where even squares can have a ball
And we still wave Ol' Glory down at the courthouse
And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all.
In Muskogee, Oklahoma, U.S.A.
That's When She Started To Stop Loving You lyrics - Conway Twitty
Does she seem a little cold when you love her
Does she turn away when you hold her tight
Just search your soul and you will discover
How you hurt her, night after night.
And when was the first time she begged you to love her
But you turned away and acted like a fool
And when was the first time she lay there and cried
Well, that's when she started to stop loving you.
Do you wonder why she's turning to another
And if you love her you'd better tell her so
'Cause she's finding out that anyone will love her
And it won't be long 'till you'll have to let her go.
And when was the first time she begged you to love her
But you turned away and acted like a fool
And when was the first time she lay there and cried
Well, that's when she started to stop loving you...
Does she turn away when you hold her tight
Just search your soul and you will discover
How you hurt her, night after night.
And when was the first time she begged you to love her
But you turned away and acted like a fool
And when was the first time she lay there and cried
Well, that's when she started to stop loving you.
Do you wonder why she's turning to another
And if you love her you'd better tell her so
'Cause she's finding out that anyone will love her
And it won't be long 'till you'll have to let her go.
And when was the first time she begged you to love her
But you turned away and acted like a fool
And when was the first time she lay there and cried
Well, that's when she started to stop loving you...
Girl At The Bar lyrics - Conway Twitty
(Don't go too far with the girl at the bar)
(She'll only bring you misery)
A bottle on the table
Empty glass in trembling hand
Through tear dimmed eyes
I watch her as she talks to another man.
A picture of true loveliness
This girl I used to know
But then I found she slipped around
And I had to let her go.
Now it's all right to have a drink or two
With my old used to be
Or hold her while the jukebox plays
A tender melody
But don't go too far with the girl at the bar
She'll only bring you misery.
Not too many months ago
We planned our wedding vows
And I was the man who stood
Where you are standing now.
I believed the things she said
I gave my heart away
But they were lies and that is why
I'm all alone today.
This bottle and this empty glass
Are all that's left for me
She's found another heart to break
And has forgotten me.
Yes, I went too far
With the girl at the bar
heartaches now blur my memory
To her I'm just another used to be...
(She'll only bring you misery)
A bottle on the table
Empty glass in trembling hand
Through tear dimmed eyes
I watch her as she talks to another man.
A picture of true loveliness
This girl I used to know
But then I found she slipped around
And I had to let her go.
Now it's all right to have a drink or two
With my old used to be
Or hold her while the jukebox plays
A tender melody
But don't go too far with the girl at the bar
She'll only bring you misery.
Not too many months ago
We planned our wedding vows
And I was the man who stood
Where you are standing now.
I believed the things she said
I gave my heart away
But they were lies and that is why
I'm all alone today.
This bottle and this empty glass
Are all that's left for me
She's found another heart to break
And has forgotten me.
Yes, I went too far
With the girl at the bar
heartaches now blur my memory
To her I'm just another used to be...
I Did The Best I Could lyrics - Conway Twitty
(And I did the best I could with what I had)
When I first met you I promised you the world
And it was all because you were my favorite girl
Pretty things like diamond rings and all the things you never had
But I did the best I could with what I had.
I know you won't need a mansion on the hill
A big fine car a schauffer at the wheel
But time passed on and things went wrong
And all you ever got was sad
But I did the best I could with what I had.
And all I had was all the love in the world for one girl
And the promise to try hard someway to get ahead
But the promises I made I've broken and betrayed
But I did the best I could with what I had.
Yes, I did the best I could with what I had...
When I first met you I promised you the world
And it was all because you were my favorite girl
Pretty things like diamond rings and all the things you never had
But I did the best I could with what I had.
I know you won't need a mansion on the hill
A big fine car a schauffer at the wheel
But time passed on and things went wrong
And all you ever got was sad
But I did the best I could with what I had.
And all I had was all the love in the world for one girl
And the promise to try hard someway to get ahead
But the promises I made I've broken and betrayed
But I did the best I could with what I had.
Yes, I did the best I could with what I had...
I Love You More Today lyrics - Conway Twitty
I want you more than anything in the world
You mean more to me than any other girl
Now he's with you and things you do with him
We've done them for so long
I love you more today, than he can from now on.
I've kissed your tears away when you were sad
Held you close, felt your warm love when you were glad
So, no matter how much love he has for you or how long
I love you more today, than he can from now on.
We've already done the things he plans to do
So don't be surprised if late at night
I'm in your dreams with you.
And if someday his love for goes wrong
I love you more today, than he can from now on.
I love you more today, than he can from now on...
Star Spangled Heaven lyrics - Conway Twitty
Over the battle fields of all the great wars
Since the beginning of time Have walked perhaps
The bravest heroes of them all.
The men known simply by the soldiers as the Chaplain.
And this is the story of but one of the many
And many thousands who gave his life in the service
Of his God and his country.
There's a star spangled heaven for every soldier boy
Who fights to keep our country clean and free
So soldier trust in Jesus let him fill your heart with joy
He'll stand by you throughout eternity.
An old, old army chaplain who was stooped and bent with years
Was walkin' o'er the battle field his old eyes filled with tears.
He was searching for the wounded to try to ease their pain
And for those he knew would never live to rise and fight again.
For life for them was over their earthly cares were done
They had gone to meet their Saviour their battle had been won.
And I couldn't help but notice as he went from place to place
That each soldier boy had died fighting with a smile upon his face.
And I saw him kneel beside each one and slowly breathe the prayer
While the tears were streamin' down his face
And the wind blew through his hair.
And I could hear the big guns boomin' o'er the hill and not too far away
And as I turned to leave him that's when I heard him say.
There's a star spangled heaven for every soldier boy
Who fights to keep our country clean and free
So soldier trust in Jesus let him fill your heart with joy
He'll stand by you throughout eternity.
Though days and month and even years
Have slowly drifted by
And all we have are the mem'ries
Of our boys who have to die.
They're living with their Saviour beyond the crystal sea
In the Star Spangled Heaven throughout eternity...
Since the beginning of time Have walked perhaps
The bravest heroes of them all.

Games People Play lyrics - Conway Twitty
Oh, the games people now
Every night and every day now
Never meanin' what they say now
Never sayin' what they mean.
So they wile away the hours in their ivory towers
Till they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine
Lotten da la da da da
Lotten da la a dee de dee
Talkin' bout you and me
And the games people play.
Oh, we make one another cry
Break a heart then we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die
That the other one's to blame.
But neither one will ever give in
So we gaze at an eight by ten
Thinkin' 'bout the things that might have been
And it's a dirty rotten shame
Lotten da la da da da
Lotten da la a dee de dee
Talkin' bout you and me
And the games people play.
People walkin' up to ya singing glory hallelujah
And they're tryin' to sock it to ya in the name of the Lord
They're gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope and cheat your fate
And furthermore to hell with hate
Come on and get on board.
Lotten da la da da da
Lotten da la a dee de dee
Talkin' bout you and me
And the games people play.
Look around and tell me what you see
What's happened to you and me
God grand me the serenity to just remember who I am
'Cause you've given up your sanity
For your pride and your vanity
Turn your back on humanity
And you don't give a lot.
Lotten da la da da da
Lotten da la a dee de dee
Talkin' bout you and me
And the games people play...
Every night and every day now
Never meanin' what they say now
Never sayin' what they mean.
So they wile away the hours in their ivory towers
Till they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine
Lotten da la da da da
Lotten da la a dee de dee
Talkin' bout you and me
And the games people play.
Oh, we make one another cry
Break a heart then we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die

Bottle In The Hand lyrics - Conway Twitty
Will I ask my old buddy to call her on the phone
He'll say I'm working late again, once more she'll be alone.
But I'll sit here in this barroom, just as long as I can
'Cause the bottle in the hand is much stronger than the man.
After all I've said and done she should leave me on the run
'Cause I've hurt her just as much as I can.
But I'll keep up my sinful living and she'll go on forgiving
She knows the bottle in the hand
Is much stronger than the man.
I'd go home if I was able cause that night life's gettin' old
Like the food on my table our love is growing cold.
But she goes to bed each evening without her loving man
Because the bottle in the hand is much stronger than the man.
After all I've said and done she should leave me on the run
'Cause I've hurt her just as much as I can.
But I'll keep up my sinful living and she'll go on forgiving
She knows the bottle in the hand
Is much stronger than the man...
He'll say I'm working late again, once more she'll be alone.
But I'll sit here in this barroom, just as long as I can
'Cause the bottle in the hand is much stronger than the man.
After all I've said and done she should leave me on the run
'Cause I've hurt her just as much as I can.
But I'll keep up my sinful living and she'll go on forgiving
She knows the bottle in the hand
Is much stronger than the man.
I'd go home if I was able cause that night life's gettin' old
Like the food on my table our love is growing cold.
But she goes to bed each evening without her loving man
Because the bottle in the hand is much stronger than the man.
After all I've said and done she should leave me on the run
'Cause I've hurt her just as much as I can.
But I'll keep up my sinful living and she'll go on forgiving
She knows the bottle in the hand
Is much stronger than the man...
Crazy Arms lyrics - Conway Twitty
Now blue ain't the word for the way that I feel
And the storm is brewing in this heart of mine
This ain't no crazy dream I know that it's real
You're someone else's love now you're not mine.
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
And my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time.
So take back the treasured dreams I have for you and me
And take all the love I thought was mine
This ain't no crazy dream I know that it's real
You're someone else's love now you're not mine.
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
And my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time...
And the storm is brewing in this heart of mine
This ain't no crazy dream I know that it's real
You're someone else's love now you're not mine.
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
And my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time.
So take back the treasured dreams I have for you and me
And take all the love I thought was mine
This ain't no crazy dream I know that it's real
You're someone else's love now you're not mine.
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
And my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time...
Johnny B. Goode lyrics - Conway Twitty
(originally by Chuck Berry)
Well, down in Lousiana, close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods, 'neath the evergreens
There stands a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a little country boy named Johnny B. Goode
He never ever learned to read or write so well
He could play a guitar just like a-ringin' a bell
Go, go, go, Johnny, go, go, go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go, go, Johnny, go, go, Johnny B. Goode
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
The engineer would see him sittin' in the shade
Strummin' through the rhythm that the drivers made
The people passin' by, they would stop and say
My, how that little country boy can play
Go, go, go, Johnny, go, go
Well, his mama told him: Someday, you will be a man
You will be the leader of a country band
The people gonna come from miles around
To hear you play your music when the sun goes down
Maybe, someday, your name will be at lights
Sayin': Johnny B Goode tonight
Yeah, go, go, go, Johnny, go, go
Well, down in Lousiana, close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods, 'neath the evergreens
There stands a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a little country boy named Johnny B. Goode
He never ever learned to read or write so well
He could play a guitar just like a-ringin' a bell
Go, go, go, Johnny, go, go, go, Johnny, go, go
Go, Johnny, go, go, go, Johnny, go, go, Johnny B. Goode
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
The engineer would see him sittin' in the shade
Strummin' through the rhythm that the drivers made
The people passin' by, they would stop and say
My, how that little country boy can play
Go, go, go, Johnny, go, go
Well, his mama told him: Someday, you will be a man
You will be the leader of a country band
The people gonna come from miles around
To hear you play your music when the sun goes down
Maybe, someday, your name will be at lights
Sayin': Johnny B Goode tonight
Yeah, go, go, go, Johnny, go, go
Proud Mary lyrics - Conway Twitty
Left a good job in the city
A workin' for the man every night and day
And I never lost a minute of sleep
While worryin' 'bout the way
Things might have been
The big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
Rollin', rollin',
Rollin' on the river.
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Copped a lot of cane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Till I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.
The big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
Rollin', rollin',
Rollin' on the river.
If you come down to the river
I bet you gonna find the people who live
You don't have to worry if you have no money
People on the river are happy to give
The big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
Rollin', rollin',
Rollin' on the river.
Rollin' rollin'
Rollin' on the river
Rollin' rollin'
Rollin' on the river...
A workin' for the man every night and day
And I never lost a minute of sleep
While worryin' 'bout the way
Things might have been
The big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
Rollin', rollin',
Rollin' on the river.
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Copped a lot of cane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Till I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.
The big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
Rollin', rollin',
Rollin' on the river.
If you come down to the river
I bet you gonna find the people who live
You don't have to worry if you have no money
People on the river are happy to give
The big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
Rollin', rollin',
Rollin' on the river.
Rollin' rollin'
Rollin' on the river
Rollin' rollin'
Rollin' on the river...
I'll Share My World With You lyrics - Conway Twitty
I'll share my world with you everything that I own
My earthly possessions there's no good if I'm alone
Let me bring you the sunshine when it's fresh with morning dew
Can't you see that I'm waiting to share my world with you.
I'll share my world with you if you'll be mine alone
I'll give you a new heart you're the only one it's known
Let me give you my two arms they'll be happy if you do
Can't you see they are waiting to share my world with you.
I'll share my world with you everything that you'll see
Divide all the memories one for you and one for me
Let me give you my two lips they'll be smiling if you do
Can't you see they are waiting to share my world with you...
My earthly possessions there's no good if I'm alone
Let me bring you the sunshine when it's fresh with morning dew
Can't you see that I'm waiting to share my world with you.
I'll share my world with you if you'll be mine alone
I'll give you a new heart you're the only one it's known
Let me give you my two arms they'll be happy if you do
Can't you see they are waiting to share my world with you.
I'll share my world with you everything that you'll see
Divide all the memories one for you and one for me
Let me give you my two lips they'll be smiling if you do
Can't you see they are waiting to share my world with you...
Heartaches By The Number lyrics - Conway Twitty
Heartache number one was when you left me
I never knew that I could hurt this way
And heartache number two was when you come back again
You came back and never meant to stay.
Now I've got heartaches by the number,
troubles by the score
Ev'ryday you love me less,
each day I love you more
Yes I've got heartaches by the number,
a love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting,
that's the day my world will end.
Heartache number three was when you called me
And said that you were coming back to stay
With hopeful heart I waited for your knock on the door
I waited but you must have lost your way.
Now I've got heartaches by the number,
troubles by the score
Ev'ryday you love me less,
each day I love you more
Yes I've got heartaches by the number,
a love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting,
that's the day my world will end...
I never knew that I could hurt this way
And heartache number two was when you come back again
You came back and never meant to stay.
Now I've got heartaches by the number,
troubles by the score
Ev'ryday you love me less,
each day I love you more
Yes I've got heartaches by the number,
a love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting,
that's the day my world will end.
Heartache number three was when you called me
And said that you were coming back to stay
With hopeful heart I waited for your knock on the door
I waited but you must have lost your way.
Now I've got heartaches by the number,
troubles by the score
Ev'ryday you love me less,
each day I love you more
Yes I've got heartaches by the number,
a love that I can't win
But the day that I stop counting,
that's the day my world will end...
World Of Forgotten People lyrics - Conway Twitty
I live in the world world of forgotten people
Who've loved and lost their hearts so many times
I'm here in the world, world of forgotten people
Where every heart is aching just like mine,
Well I've loved and I've been loved
But I had a reckless heart
And the many dreams I had are torn apart
Now I find I was wrong too late
I'm all alone alone in a world of broken heart.
I live in the world world of forgotten people
Who've loved and lost their hearts so many times
I'm here in the world, world of forgotten people
Where every heart is aching just like mine.
I live in the world world of forgotten people
Who've loved and lost their hearts so many times
I'm here in the world, world of forgotten people
Where every heart is aching just like mine...
Who've loved and lost their hearts so many times
I'm here in the world, world of forgotten people
Where every heart is aching just like mine,
Well I've loved and I've been loved
But I had a reckless heart
And the many dreams I had are torn apart
Now I find I was wrong too late
I'm all alone alone in a world of broken heart.
I live in the world world of forgotten people
Who've loved and lost their hearts so many times
I'm here in the world, world of forgotten people
Where every heart is aching just like mine.
I live in the world world of forgotten people
Who've loved and lost their hearts so many times
I'm here in the world, world of forgotten people
Where every heart is aching just like mine...
