There was backstreets of Birmingham,
Taking my clothes and my food and a trash can.
Sleeping in alleys at night, making love to a bottle of wine
'Cause you know life is to succeed
But that was back when Judy loved me
Somewhere in yesterday, seems a million miles away.
Back in the days Judy used to beg me to take her away
But I was too young and livin' was fun
I didn't know how time would change me
Life slid by me too fast, the fun didn't last,
It's too late to get back to the days when Judy loved me.
Riding a frieght train goin' nowhere
Don't use mirrors anymore, they show my grey hair
Giving my place in the welfare line
Trading my soup for a bottle of wine
'Cause you know life is to succeed
But that was back when Judy loved me.
Somewhere in yesterday, seems a million miles away
Back in the days Judy used to beg me to take her away
But I was too young and livin' was fun
I didn't know how time would change me.
Life slid by me too fast, the fun didn't last,
It's too late to get back to the days when Judy loved me
Back when Judy loved me.
Back when Judy loved me...
Key's In The Mailbox lyrics - Conway Twitty
Oh, jealous me and careless you, the odds were just too great
I couldn't take those lonely nights, you made me sit and wait
I thought I'd seen the last of you when you walked out of sight
Instead I see you in my dreams each night.
Oh, the key's in the mailbox come on in
I'm sittin' here wishing dear, I had your love again
I'd never even ask you where you've been
The key's in the mailbox come on in.
I said, I'd rather be alone than share your company
I said, don't come around at all if you want more than me
But sittin' here alone I can't deny this flame that burns
I'd gladly take you back on any terms.
Oh, the key's in the mailbox come on in
I'm sittin' here wishing dear, I had your love again
I'd never even ask you where you've been
The key's in the mailbox come on in...
I couldn't take those lonely nights, you made me sit and wait
I thought I'd seen the last of you when you walked out of sight
Instead I see you in my dreams each night.
Oh, the key's in the mailbox come on in
I'm sittin' here wishing dear, I had your love again
I'd never even ask you where you've been
The key's in the mailbox come on in.
I said, I'd rather be alone than share your company
I said, don't come around at all if you want more than me
But sittin' here alone I can't deny this flame that burns
I'd gladly take you back on any terms.
Oh, the key's in the mailbox come on in
I'm sittin' here wishing dear, I had your love again
I'd never even ask you where you've been
The key's in the mailbox come on in...
Since She's Not With The One She Loves lyrics - Conway Twitty
You say somehow she don't fit in with your old drinking crowd
Well bartender it's all new to her she's a lady and should be proud.
She loved me so long and asked so little but I always gave her less
Now since she's not with the one she loves she'll love the one she's with.
I remember the nights she cried for me and she had every right
While she stayed at home and waited I was out like she is tonight.
Now, I know how it hurts to be alone and to see her here like this
Now since she's not with the one she loves she'll love the one she's with.
Since she's not with the one she loves she loves the one she's with
I came here to say I love her but I'm too late I guess
She went as far as she could go without love then turned the list
Since she's not with the one she loves she'll love the one she's with.
Since she's not with the one she loves she loves the one she's with
I came here to say I love her but I'm too late I guess
She went as far as she could go without love then turned the list
Since she's not with the one she loves she'll love the one she's with...
Well bartender it's all new to her she's a lady and should be proud.
She loved me so long and asked so little but I always gave her less
Now since she's not with the one she loves she'll love the one she's with.
I remember the nights she cried for me and she had every right
While she stayed at home and waited I was out like she is tonight.
Now, I know how it hurts to be alone and to see her here like this
Now since she's not with the one she loves she'll love the one she's with.
Since she's not with the one she loves she loves the one she's with
I came here to say I love her but I'm too late I guess
She went as far as she could go without love then turned the list
Since she's not with the one she loves she'll love the one she's with.
Since she's not with the one she loves she loves the one she's with
I came here to say I love her but I'm too late I guess
She went as far as she could go without love then turned the list
Since she's not with the one she loves she'll love the one she's with...
I Can't See Me Without You lyrics - Conway Twitty
I can't see you in my arms anymore
And I can't see me without you.
Is it day, is it night
Am I losing my sight
Is it over, are we really through?
I can't see you in my arms anymore
And I can't see me without you.
I can't see me without you to lean on
And I can't see you leaving or gone.
I could never see anything you wanted me to
And I can't see me without you.
I see the house, you once called your home
And I see the door you walked through
And I see the road you're leaving me on
But I can't see me without you.
I can't see me without you to lean on
And I can't see you leaving or gone
I could never see anything you wanted me to
And I can't see me without you...
And I can't see me without you.
Is it day, is it night
Am I losing my sight
Is it over, are we really through?
I can't see you in my arms anymore
And I can't see me without you.
I can't see me without you to lean on
And I can't see you leaving or gone.
I could never see anything you wanted me to
And I can't see me without you.
I see the house, you once called your home
And I see the door you walked through
And I see the road you're leaving me on
But I can't see me without you.
I can't see me without you to lean on
And I can't see you leaving or gone
I could never see anything you wanted me to
And I can't see me without you...
Looking Through My Glass lyrics - Conway Twitty
I looked into my future, what did I see?
Nothing but a lonely face, staring back at me
I looked into my glass of wine and there to my surprise
I saw my dream world fall apart, right before my eyes.
Looking through my glass of cherry wine
Trying hard to get you off my mind
But all I see is love that didn't last
Yes I can see it all, just looking through my glass.
And now the glass is empty, I'm down to my last dime
Just one more drink, that's all I need to ease my troubled mind
So fill it up please Mister, this one's got the last
I've got a million years to spend, just looking through my glass.
Looking through my glass of cherry wine
Trying hard to get you off my mind
But all I see is love that didn't last
Yes I can see it all, just looking through my glass...
Nothing but a lonely face, staring back at me
I looked into my glass of wine and there to my surprise
I saw my dream world fall apart, right before my eyes.
Looking through my glass of cherry wine
Trying hard to get you off my mind
But all I see is love that didn't last
Yes I can see it all, just looking through my glass.
And now the glass is empty, I'm down to my last dime
Just one more drink, that's all I need to ease my troubled mind
So fill it up please Mister, this one's got the last
I've got a million years to spend, just looking through my glass.
Looking through my glass of cherry wine
Trying hard to get you off my mind
But all I see is love that didn't last
Yes I can see it all, just looking through my glass...
It's Been One Heck Of A Day lyrics - Conway Twitty
It all started early this morning
As her mem'ry cruely eased my mind
I found a picture in my wallet
I thought I threw away
Oh, it's been one heck of a day.
Then while looking through the evening papers
I ran across some torturing news
Mr. and Mrs, O'Grady now have a new baby
Oh, it's been one heck of a day.
Is it there for me to love her
And cry at the thought of her
When my only hope is a dream
An old friend dropped by late this evening
Wouldn't you know he asked about her
But I guess he didn't know that I lost her long ago
Oh, it's been one heck of the day.
Oh, it's been one heck of a day...
As her mem'ry cruely eased my mind
I found a picture in my wallet
I thought I threw away
Oh, it's been one heck of a day.
Then while looking through the evening papers
I ran across some torturing news
Mr. and Mrs, O'Grady now have a new baby
Oh, it's been one heck of a day.
Is it there for me to love her
And cry at the thought of her
When my only hope is a dream
An old friend dropped by late this evening
Wouldn't you know he asked about her
But I guess he didn't know that I lost her long ago
Oh, it's been one heck of the day.
Oh, it's been one heck of a day...
Kiss An Angel Good Mornin' lyrics - Conway Twitty
Whenever I chance to meet, some old friends on the street
They wonder, how does a man get to be this way
I've always got a smilin' face, any time and any place
And everytime they ask me why, I just smile and say.
You've got to kiss an angel good mornin'
And let her know you think about her when you're gone
Kiss an angel good mornin'
And love her like a devil when you get back home.
Some people may try to guess, the secret of a happiness
But some of them never learn, it's a simple thing
The secret I'm speaking of, is a woman and a man in love
The answer is in that song, Charlie always sings.
You've got to kiss an angel good mornin'
And let her know you think about her when you're gone
Kiss an angel good mornin'
And love her like a devil when you get back home.
You've got to kiss an angel good mornin'
And let her know you think about her when you're gone
Kiss an angel good mornin'
And love her like a devil when you get back home...
They wonder, how does a man get to be this way
I've always got a smilin' face, any time and any place
And everytime they ask me why, I just smile and say.
You've got to kiss an angel good mornin'
And let her know you think about her when you're gone
Kiss an angel good mornin'
And love her like a devil when you get back home.
Some people may try to guess, the secret of a happiness
But some of them never learn, it's a simple thing
The secret I'm speaking of, is a woman and a man in love
The answer is in that song, Charlie always sings.
You've got to kiss an angel good mornin'
And let her know you think about her when you're gone
Kiss an angel good mornin'
And love her like a devil when you get back home.
You've got to kiss an angel good mornin'
And let her know you think about her when you're gone
Kiss an angel good mornin'
And love her like a devil when you get back home...
I Didn't Lose Her lyrics - Conway Twitty
You may find her in a tavern in the cheap part of town
With bright lights and music and a crowd gathered round
It may be too late now to tell her but I love her more today
But I didn't lose her, I threw her away.
She stood by me, looked for the good in me
When she knew I was wrong
I would love her just enough to keep her hanging on
She stayed much longer than she should
Then she walked out one day
But I didn't lose her, I threw her away.
She only wanted me to love her and to tell her so each day
Now, she's somewhere in a tavern wasting her life away
But don't be too fast to condemn her for what she might do or say
For I didn't lose her, I threw her away...
With bright lights and music and a crowd gathered round
It may be too late now to tell her but I love her more today
But I didn't lose her, I threw her away.
She stood by me, looked for the good in me
When she knew I was wrong
I would love her just enough to keep her hanging on
She stayed much longer than she should
Then she walked out one day
But I didn't lose her, I threw her away.
She only wanted me to love her and to tell her so each day
Now, she's somewhere in a tavern wasting her life away
But don't be too fast to condemn her for what she might do or say
For I didn't lose her, I threw her away...
I'll Never Make It Home Tonight lyrics - Conway Twitty
Today, I started home with just a mile ago
And everythin' was goin' on right
And then I heard sock it to me on the radio
And I'll never make it home tonight.
Well I made it down on the old crossroad
Where the wrong road leads to the right
Then I thought of many in the mini skirts
And I'll never make it home tonight.
Yeah, the road to the right is wrong
The one to the left is right
I'm a lookin' for the right place to go wrong
And I'll never make it home tonight.
Yeah, the road to the right is wrong
The one to the left is right
I'm a lookin' for the right place to go wrong
And I'll never make it home tonight.
Down in the glad place for the sad I'm losin'
For I'm gonna get fight
I'm a lookin' for good place to go bad
And I'll never make it home tonight.
Well, I got kinda high and live a little low
Started home about daylight
When I got to the road where I should've get left
Again I turn to the right.
Yeah, the road to the right is wrong
The one to the left is right
I'm a lookin' for the right place to go wrong
And I'll never make it home tonight.
Yeah, the road to the right is wrong
The one to the left is right
I'm a lookin' for the right place to go wrong
And I'll never make it home tonight.
Yeah, it don't look like I'm gonna make it home tonight...
And everythin' was goin' on right
And then I heard sock it to me on the radio
And I'll never make it home tonight.
Well I made it down on the old crossroad
Where the wrong road leads to the right
Then I thought of many in the mini skirts
And I'll never make it home tonight.
Yeah, the road to the right is wrong
The one to the left is right
I'm a lookin' for the right place to go wrong
And I'll never make it home tonight.
Yeah, the road to the right is wrong
The one to the left is right
I'm a lookin' for the right place to go wrong
And I'll never make it home tonight.
Down in the glad place for the sad I'm losin'
For I'm gonna get fight
I'm a lookin' for good place to go bad
And I'll never make it home tonight.
Well, I got kinda high and live a little low
Started home about daylight
When I got to the road where I should've get left
Again I turn to the right.
Yeah, the road to the right is wrong
The one to the left is right
I'm a lookin' for the right place to go wrong
And I'll never make it home tonight.
Yeah, the road to the right is wrong
The one to the left is right
I'm a lookin' for the right place to go wrong
And I'll never make it home tonight.
Yeah, it don't look like I'm gonna make it home tonight...
This Road That I Walk lyrics - Conway Twitty
Well, this road that I walk is a mighty lonely road
It's low that I bear to mighty heavy load
And this song that I sing is a mighty lonely song
I had a true love but I done her wrong.
(He had a true love but he done her wrong.)
Well, this road that I walk it has no end
And on this road I walk I have no friends
The people that I pass are people just like me
Who do forever walk this road of misery.
(He had a true love but he done her wrong)
(Now he walks this road of misery alone.)
Well, this road that I walk is for fools like you
This road that I walk you're gonna walk it too
Each step that you take leads you up very smart
You had a true love but you broke her heart.
You had a true love but you done her wrong
Like me you must walk this road of misery alone
You had a true love but you done her wrong
Like me you must walk this road of misery alone...
It's low that I bear to mighty heavy load
And this song that I sing is a mighty lonely song
I had a true love but I done her wrong.
(He had a true love but he done her wrong.)
Well, this road that I walk it has no end
And on this road I walk I have no friends
The people that I pass are people just like me
Who do forever walk this road of misery.
(He had a true love but he done her wrong)
(Now he walks this road of misery alone.)
Well, this road that I walk is for fools like you
This road that I walk you're gonna walk it too
Each step that you take leads you up very smart
You had a true love but you broke her heart.
You had a true love but you done her wrong
Like me you must walk this road of misery alone
You had a true love but you done her wrong
Like me you must walk this road of misery alone...
She Knows What She's Crying About lyrics - Conway Twitty
You may think she's not been true
All those things she's telling you
But believe me, what she says is really true
'Cause I'm the one who left her there
I'm the one who didn't care
And she knows what she's crying about.
She knows what she's crying about.
She bears the flame though,
I'm to blame there's no doubt
I never even tried to say or accept the love she gave
And she knows what she's crying about.
She gave me her very best
I was wrong to give the rest
All the love that she so desperately tried to hold
I made her shed a million tears
All I did was waste her years
And she knows what she's crying about.
She knows what she's crying about.
She bears the flame though,
I'm to blame there's no doubt
I never even tried to say or accept the love she gave
And she knows what she's crying about...
All those things she's telling you
But believe me, what she says is really true
'Cause I'm the one who left her there
I'm the one who didn't care
And she knows what she's crying about.
She knows what she's crying about.
She bears the flame though,
I'm to blame there's no doubt
I never even tried to say or accept the love she gave
And she knows what she's crying about.
She gave me her very best
I was wrong to give the rest
All the love that she so desperately tried to hold
I made her shed a million tears
All I did was waste her years
And she knows what she's crying about.
She knows what she's crying about.
She bears the flame though,
I'm to blame there's no doubt
I never even tried to say or accept the love she gave
And she knows what she's crying about...
She's All I Got lyrics - Conway Twitty
Let me tell you now friend
Don't take her she's all I've got
Please don't take her love away from me
I'm beggin' you friend
Don't take her she's all I've got

And make a flower grow.

One More Sunrise lyrics - Conway Twitty
There'll be just one more sunrise
In this cell for brother and me
He'll go home while I'll go
To the hanging tree.
Tell Betty I still love her
And kiss her once for me
And tell mama at sunrise
We'll both be free.
Sitting in my prison cell
The day is just beginning
My spirit's alike a grey
On every wall.
Beside is my brother
Tomorrow we'll both be leaving
He'll go home while they'll lead me
Down the hall.
He was always the blacksheep
There's one in every family
But he was always
Just little brother to me.
And that's why I took the blame
When he killed a man in Knoxville
But tomorrow at sunrise we'll both be free
There'll be just one more sunrise.
Oh, tell mama at sunrise
We'll both be free...
In this cell for brother and me
He'll go home while I'll go
To the hanging tree.
Tell Betty I still love her
And kiss her once for me
And tell mama at sunrise
We'll both be free.
Sitting in my prison cell
The day is just beginning
My spirit's alike a grey
On every wall.
Beside is my brother
Tomorrow we'll both be leaving
He'll go home while they'll lead me
Down the hall.
He was always the blacksheep
There's one in every family
But he was always
Just little brother to me.
And that's why I took the blame
When he killed a man in Knoxville
But tomorrow at sunrise we'll both be free
There'll be just one more sunrise.
Oh, tell mama at sunrise
We'll both be free...
It's A Cryin' Shame lyrics - Conway Twitty
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have it no more, no more.
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have it no more, no more.
Readin' your letter
I didn't no whether
To call you up and talk again
When I saw the name it signed
Goin' through my mind
Was a memory of way back when.
Now all that I can wish you
Is a good love baby
Sorry that it couldn't be me
'Cause it felt so right
If we held on tight
I'd be with you tonight.
We never should have left our,
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have it no more, no more.
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have it no more, no more.
I won't forget the summer
My heart was like a drummer
Just beatin' every night away
Walkin' in the sun with you baby
We were one and our new love
Was really ours to stay
Now all I get to keep is a faded picture
You belong to him today
And the memory
Of you and me
Is just a used to be.
We never should have left our,
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have it no more, no more.
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have, it shame we don't have it.
Love slips through my hands
It's a cryin' shame
I've been playing no game
Love fell at my feet.
It's a cryin' shame
And the bitter isn't the sweet
Oh, oh, I'm so sorry, baby.
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have it no more, no more.
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have no more, no more.
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have it no more, no more.
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have it no more, no more.
Readin' your letter
I didn't no whether
To call you up and talk again
When I saw the name it signed
Goin' through my mind
Was a memory of way back when.
Now all that I can wish you
Is a good love baby
Sorry that it couldn't be me
'Cause it felt so right
If we held on tight
I'd be with you tonight.
We never should have left our,
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have it no more, no more.
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have it no more, no more.
I won't forget the summer
My heart was like a drummer
Just beatin' every night away
Walkin' in the sun with you baby
We were one and our new love
Was really ours to stay
Now all I get to keep is a faded picture
You belong to him today
And the memory
Of you and me
Is just a used to be.
We never should have left our,
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have it no more, no more.
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have, it shame we don't have it.
Love slips through my hands
It's a cryin' shame
I've been playing no game
Love fell at my feet.
It's a cryin' shame
And the bitter isn't the sweet
Oh, oh, I'm so sorry, baby.
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have it no more, no more.
Love walked out the door
It's a cryin' shame
We don't have no more, no more.
