She's Got A Single Thing In Mind lyrics - Conway Twitty
She can't find the words to break it to me
cause she always was the gentle kind
she's hopin' I'll hear it from a friend somewhere
she's hopin' I'll read between the lines
but it comes as no surprise
cause she told me with her eyes
so watch her untie the tie that binds
she's got a single thing in mind
She's already gone except in body
it's just a matter now, of time
well I should have seen
the storm clouds gatherin
but he who won't look is just as blind
so there's only me to blame
when my woman dropped my name
so watch her untie the tie that binds
she's got a single thing in mind
So watch her untie the tie that binds
she's got a single thing in mind
cause she always was the gentle kind
she's hopin' I'll hear it from a friend somewhere
she's hopin' I'll read between the lines
but it comes as no surprise
cause she told me with her eyes
so watch her untie the tie that binds
she's got a single thing in mind
She's already gone except in body
it's just a matter now, of time
well I should have seen
the storm clouds gatherin
but he who won't look is just as blind
so there's only me to blame
when my woman dropped my name
so watch her untie the tie that binds
she's got a single thing in mind
So watch her untie the tie that binds
she's got a single thing in mind
Who's Gonna Know lyrics - Conway Twitty
I know you know whats on my mind
Its been coming on for some time
Theres no way for us to stop it
If we just let go
Who's gonna know (who's gonna know if we touch each other)
Who's gonna know (who's gonna know how it feels together)
If we share our love, who's gonna know?
We've run away from this before
But we can't do that anymore
Sitting here with our hearts on fire
Any nobodys looking
Who's gonna know (who's gonna know if we touch each other)
Who's gonna know (if we spend this night together)
If we share our love, who's gonna know?
Lets go down that narrow road to heaven
Who's gonna find out?
Who's gonna hurt if we do?
Who's gonna know?
If we share our love, who's gonna know?...
Its been coming on for some time
Theres no way for us to stop it
If we just let go
Who's gonna know (who's gonna know if we touch each other)
Who's gonna know (who's gonna know how it feels together)
If we share our love, who's gonna know?
We've run away from this before
But we can't do that anymore
Sitting here with our hearts on fire
Any nobodys looking
Who's gonna know (who's gonna know if we touch each other)
Who's gonna know (if we spend this night together)
If we share our love, who's gonna know?
Lets go down that narrow road to heaven
Who's gonna find out?
Who's gonna hurt if we do?
Who's gonna know?
If we share our love, who's gonna know?...
Play, Ruby, Play lyrics - Conway Twitty
Well, Ruby, she was a redneck beauty
She loved Little Richard and sang 'Tootie Fruitie'
And wanted her name in lights and wore her dresses tight
Yeah, Ruby was a victim of circumstance
'Cause she liked to wiggle and boogie dance
Out in the country she hardly ever got the chance
She had a local band, played the local bars
Had the local boys breathin' hard
She had hillbilly eyes that could shine in the dark
She had a country soul and a rock 'n' roll heart
And her whole body shook when she stood up and played the piano
And the boys say, "Play, Ruby, play, we really like the way you do it
Play, Ruby, play, we love the way you get into it"
She made the young men scream and the old men moan
Rock on, rock on, rock on
Sometimes at night with the full moon beamin'
She would run around the mountain kickin' and screamin'
Sayin', If I don't get out on the road I'm gonna explode
Last time I saw her she was down in the city
Shakin' and shoutin', making plenty
Yeah, Ruby was a sight to behold, she was on a roll
She had a local band, played the local bars
Had the local boys breathin' hard
She had hillbilly eyes that could shine in the dark
She had a country soul and a rock 'n' roll heart
And her whole body shook when she stood up and played the piano
And the boys say, "Play, Ruby, play, we really like the way you do it
Play, Ruby, play, we love the way you get into it"
She made the young men scream and the old men moan
Rock on, rock on, rock on
Rock on, rock on, rock on
Well, Ruby, she was a redneck beauty
She loved Little Richard and sang 'Tootie Fruitie'
And wanted her name in lights and wore her dresses tight
Yeah, Ruby was a victim of circumstance
'Cause she liked to wiggle and boogie dance
Out in the country she hardly ever got the chance
She loved Little Richard and sang 'Tootie Fruitie'
And wanted her name in lights and wore her dresses tight
Yeah, Ruby was a victim of circumstance
'Cause she liked to wiggle and boogie dance
Out in the country she hardly ever got the chance
She had a local band, played the local bars
Had the local boys breathin' hard
She had hillbilly eyes that could shine in the dark
She had a country soul and a rock 'n' roll heart

House On Old Lonesome Road lyrics - Conway Twitty
Every night it's the same old time,
I leave work at five-o-five
Been doing my best to forget about her
But she's driving me out of my mind.
When I get home, I know what I'll find,
How I wish that it wasn't so
There'll be no one there to hold me tonight,
In that house on old lonesome road.
I recall how we laughed
When we read the name
In the paper before we moved in,
After we did our friends all asked
If that house was lonesome back then.
We were so young, our dreams were so new,
There's just no way that we could have known,
The irony of that place where we loved,
That house on Old lonesome road.
It's only shingles and shutters
And a case of worn out stairs
And just like my old heart they need repair,
Maybe I should sell it,
Yeah, maybe that would be the best,
Maybe then someone else could find
Some love at that address.
I used to love that old house so much
Back before she went away
Now everything there is just gathering dust,
I should clean it up if I'm going to stay.
I don't have too much time anymore,
I'm too busy talking to ghosts,
'Cause her memory, keeps me compay,
In that house on old lonesome road.
It's only shingles and shutters
And a case of worn out stairs
And just like my old heart they need repair,
Maybe I should sell it,
Yeah, maybe that would be the best,
Maybe then someone else could find
Some love at that address.
Every night it's the same old time,
I leave work at five-o-five, been
Doing my best to forget about her,
But she's driving me out of my mind...
I leave work at five-o-five
Been doing my best to forget about her
But she's driving me out of my mind.
When I get home, I know what I'll find,
How I wish that it wasn't so
There'll be no one there to hold me tonight,
In that house on old lonesome road.
I recall how we laughed
When we read the name
In the paper before we moved in,
After we did our friends all asked
If that house was lonesome back then.
We were so young, our dreams were so new,
There's just no way that we could have known,
The irony of that place where we loved,
That house on Old lonesome road.
It's only shingles and shutters
And a case of worn out stairs
And just like my old heart they need repair,
Maybe I should sell it,
Yeah, maybe that would be the best,
Maybe then someone else could find
Some love at that address.
I used to love that old house so much
Back before she went away
Now everything there is just gathering dust,
I should clean it up if I'm going to stay.
I don't have too much time anymore,
I'm too busy talking to ghosts,
'Cause her memory, keeps me compay,

Nobody Can Fill Your Shoes lyrics - Conway Twitty
In this life there's a light only you can shine
Down this road there is gold only you can find
While you're walking down the road of life
There is so much you can do
And nobody can fill you shoes, (nobody) can fill you shoes.
There's a word, we haven't heard, only you can say
You're the friend I might meet along the way
There's a song deep inside your heart no one can sing like you
And nobody can fill you shoes, (nobody) can fill you shoes.
Nobody, (nobody) nobody, (nobody)
Hey nobody, (nobody) can fill your shoes.
While you walking (walking) down this road of life
There's only so much you can do
Nobody, (nobody) nobody, (nobody)
Hey nobody, (nobody) can fill your shoes
Down this road there is gold only you can find
While you're walking down the road of life
There is so much you can do
And nobody can fill you shoes, (nobody) can fill you shoes.
There's a word, we haven't heard, only you can say
You're the friend I might meet along the way
There's a song deep inside your heart no one can sing like you
And nobody can fill you shoes, (nobody) can fill you shoes.
Nobody, (nobody) nobody, (nobody)
Hey nobody, (nobody) can fill your shoes.
While you walking (walking) down this road of life
There's only so much you can do
Nobody, (nobody) nobody, (nobody)
Hey nobody, (nobody) can fill your shoes
Private Part Of My Heart lyrics - Conway Twitty
Operator I'm calling long distance please.
Charge it to my room, 702.
Hello, baby. No there's nothing wrong
You know me when I'm away from you
You see a blue moon hanging
Low outside our window?
And it's hard to sleep with
All of those feelin's around?
Oooh, if I had wings tonight
You could imagine things
I never wanted you more
Than I want you right now.
Lookin' out at the city
It sparkles and it shines
But it holds no fascination
Compared to you.
Save me some long nights
And your wildest dreams
And all of your love
and some of that moon.
Life may take me down
A winding road.
But nothing in this world
Can change my love.
Forever you can believe
you'll always be here with me
In the warmest private part of my heart.
Right here,
In the warmest private part of my heart.
Right here...
Charge it to my room, 702.
Hello, baby. No there's nothing wrong
You know me when I'm away from you
You see a blue moon hanging
Low outside our window?
And it's hard to sleep with
All of those feelin's around?
Oooh, if I had wings tonight
You could imagine things
I never wanted you more
Than I want you right now.
Lookin' out at the city
It sparkles and it shines
But it holds no fascination
Compared to you.
Save me some long nights
And your wildest dreams
And all of your love
and some of that moon.
Life may take me down
A winding road.
But nothing in this world
Can change my love.
Forever you can believe
you'll always be here with me
In the warmest private part of my heart.
Right here,
In the warmest private part of my heart.
Right here...
Child With Child lyrics - Conway Twitty
She was still just a baby in her mama's eyes.
Daddy's little girl only yesterdaym my how time flies.
She learned all about romance from watching TV
And in one night alone with the boy down the street.
Child With Child. Mother to be.
Carryin' a secret she know she can't keep.
Child With Child. Lying awake.
Thinking about all the hearts she will break.
Will her friends all whisper when she passes by?
Will there be shame or love in her daddy's eyes?
She can run from her hometown but she can't run away
From the new life inside her growing each day.
Child With Child. Mother to be.
Carryin' a secret she knows she can't keep.
Child With Child. Lying awake.
Thinking about all the hearts she will break.
She's just a Child With Child...
Daddy's little girl only yesterdaym my how time flies.
She learned all about romance from watching TV
And in one night alone with the boy down the street.
Child With Child. Mother to be.
Carryin' a secret she know she can't keep.
Child With Child. Lying awake.
Thinking about all the hearts she will break.
Will her friends all whisper when she passes by?
Will there be shame or love in her daddy's eyes?
She can run from her hometown but she can't run away
From the new life inside her growing each day.
Child With Child. Mother to be.
Carryin' a secret she knows she can't keep.
Child With Child. Lying awake.
Thinking about all the hearts she will break.
She's just a Child With Child...
Take Me Home To Mama lyrics - Conway Twitty
I want you to take me home to mama
Introduce me to your friends
I want you to take me home to mama
I'm ready to take a chance on love again
I didn't need a lover
I was happy on my own
I didn't want another
Girls are melted for the phone
But since the day I met you
Oh, my attitude has changed
I think I'm gonna let you
Start turning out the flames
Come on and take me home to mama
Introduce me to your friends
I want you to take me home to mama
I'm ready to take a chance on love again
I really want to meet her
I want to raise a doll like you
And tell her that's she's sweeter
Than any other girl I knew
I tell her not to worry
'Cause her baby is in good hands
I don't mean to hurry
But just as soon as you can
I want you to take me home to mama
Introduce me to your friends
Come on and take me home to mama
I'm ready to take a chance on love again
When you started calling
I was just telling time
Then I started fallin'
And here's what's on my mind
I want you to take me home to mama
Introduce me to your friends
Take me home to your mama
I'm ready to take a chance on love again
I'm ready to take a chance on love again
Yeah, I'm ready to take a chance on love again
Introduce me to your friends
I want you to take me home to mama
I'm ready to take a chance on love again
I didn't need a lover
I was happy on my own
I didn't want another
Girls are melted for the phone
But since the day I met you
Oh, my attitude has changed
I think I'm gonna let you
Start turning out the flames
Come on and take me home to mama
Introduce me to your friends
I want you to take me home to mama
I'm ready to take a chance on love again
I really want to meet her
I want to raise a doll like you
And tell her that's she's sweeter
Than any other girl I knew
I tell her not to worry
'Cause her baby is in good hands
I don't mean to hurry
But just as soon as you can
I want you to take me home to mama
Introduce me to your friends
Come on and take me home to mama
I'm ready to take a chance on love again
When you started calling
I was just telling time
Then I started fallin'
And here's what's on my mind
I want you to take me home to mama
Introduce me to your friends
Take me home to your mama
I'm ready to take a chance on love again
I'm ready to take a chance on love again
Yeah, I'm ready to take a chance on love again
Pieces Of You lyrics - Conway Twitty
Pieces of you all scattered around
Pieces of love that's all over now
What can I do? I'll never be free
With pieces of you all over me
There's a letter in the dresser
And a picture in the hall
There's my mem'ry to remind me
And heartaches you left laying wall to wall
Pieces of you all scattered around
There's nothing really left for me to cling to
But these pieces of a dream that fell apart
And living's slowly killing me without you
Not to mention what it's doing to my heart
What can I do? I'll never be free
With pieces of you all over me
Pieces of love that's all over now
What can I do? I'll never be free
With pieces of you all over me
There's a letter in the dresser
And a picture in the hall
There's my mem'ry to remind me
And heartaches you left laying wall to wall
Pieces of you all scattered around
There's nothing really left for me to cling to
But these pieces of a dream that fell apart
And living's slowly killing me without you
Not to mention what it's doing to my heart
What can I do? I'll never be free
With pieces of you all over me
Too White To Sing The Blues lyrics - Conway Twitty
The day i hit this music town looking for a deal.
I was green as government ink on a twenty dollar bill.
I signed a lot of papers. Didn't know what I had to lose.
Make no mistake about it, now,
You can't be too white to sing the blues.
Some folks make it fast down here. Some folks make it slow.
Learning how the hard way taught me everything I know.
When that old highway is your teacher,
A country boy can get confused.
But one thing I know for certain,
You can't be too white to sing the blues.
I've learned how to whistle. I've learned how to lose.
I've walked a mile in everybody's shoes.
Well, you can laugh out loud if you want to.
But you can't be too white to sing the blues.
Someday when I'm old and rich and I don't work no more.
I'm gonna find myself a rockin' chair,
And I'm gonna sit on my front porch.
And as that old sun is settin' a I'm gonna howl at the rising moon.
Well, you can go out rockin' now,
But you can't be too white to sing the blues.
I've learned how to whistle. I've learned how to lose.
I've walked a mile in everybody's shoes.
Well you can laugh out loud if you want to.
But you can't be too white to sing yhe blues.
You can't be too white to sing the blues...
I was green as government ink on a twenty dollar bill.
I signed a lot of papers. Didn't know what I had to lose.
Make no mistake about it, now,
You can't be too white to sing the blues.
Some folks make it fast down here. Some folks make it slow.
Learning how the hard way taught me everything I know.
When that old highway is your teacher,
A country boy can get confused.
But one thing I know for certain,
You can't be too white to sing the blues.
I've learned how to whistle. I've learned how to lose.
I've walked a mile in everybody's shoes.
Well, you can laugh out loud if you want to.
But you can't be too white to sing the blues.
Someday when I'm old and rich and I don't work no more.
I'm gonna find myself a rockin' chair,
And I'm gonna sit on my front porch.
And as that old sun is settin' a I'm gonna howl at the rising moon.
Well, you can go out rockin' now,
But you can't be too white to sing the blues.
I've learned how to whistle. I've learned how to lose.
I've walked a mile in everybody's shoes.
Well you can laugh out loud if you want to.
But you can't be too white to sing yhe blues.
You can't be too white to sing the blues...
(I Wish I Was) Still In Your Dreams lyrics - Conway Twitty
I saw you through a cafe window down on second avenue
The passage of time sure has been good to you
I was tempted for just a moment to run out in the street
But what do you say when two old lovers meet.
You say hello, (hello) how are you
You're doing well it seems.
I wish I was better at bein' alone
I wish I was still in your dreams.
I spent a lot of lonely hours staring at this phone of mine
Knowing your just a heart beat down the line
Once I even dialed your number, but I couldn't let it ring
What do you say to a sweet memory.
You say hello, (hello) how are you
You're doing well it seems.
I wish I was better at bein' alone
I wish I was still in your dreams.
In my favorite fantasy
You're the one who's missing me
It all comes back so easily
When I hear you say.
You say hello, (hello) how are you
You're doing well it seems.
I wish I was better at bein' alone
I wish I was still in your dreams.
I wish I was better at bein' alone
I wish I was still in your dreams...
The passage of time sure has been good to you
I was tempted for just a moment to run out in the street
But what do you say when two old lovers meet.
You say hello, (hello) how are you
You're doing well it seems.
I wish I was better at bein' alone
I wish I was still in your dreams.
I spent a lot of lonely hours staring at this phone of mine
Knowing your just a heart beat down the line
Once I even dialed your number, but I couldn't let it ring
What do you say to a sweet memory.
You say hello, (hello) how are you
You're doing well it seems.
I wish I was better at bein' alone
I wish I was still in your dreams.
In my favorite fantasy
You're the one who's missing me
It all comes back so easily
When I hear you say.
You say hello, (hello) how are you
You're doing well it seems.
I wish I was better at bein' alone
I wish I was still in your dreams.
I wish I was better at bein' alone
I wish I was still in your dreams...
Your Loving Side lyrics - Conway Twitty
You and I have known a love beyond compare
Oh, but lately when we reach out there's nothing there
We seem so far apart, face to face 'cause your faith divide
But I'd do anything to get back on your loving side
To get back on your loving side
To get that tender feeling, feeling right
I'd give my heart to keep our love alive
And be a hero in your blue eyes
To get back on your loving side
Where your life's wrapped up in mine
Whoa, my heart won't be satisfied
Till I get back on your loving side
You know it's a shame
That a little rain put out a fire so strong
Now the chilling truth is the warmth is gone
Whoa, and there's a silence now
Silent words cut deep and wide
And I'll do anything to get back on your loving side
To get back on your loving side
To get that tender feeling, feeling right
I'd give my heart to keep our love alive
And be a hero in your blue eyes
To get back on your loving side
Where your life's wrapped up in mine
Whoa, my heart won't be satisfied
Till I get back on your loving side
Oh, but lately when we reach out there's nothing there
We seem so far apart, face to face 'cause your faith divide
But I'd do anything to get back on your loving side
To get back on your loving side
To get that tender feeling, feeling right
I'd give my heart to keep our love alive
And be a hero in your blue eyes
To get back on your loving side
Where your life's wrapped up in mine
Whoa, my heart won't be satisfied
Till I get back on your loving side
You know it's a shame
That a little rain put out a fire so strong
Now the chilling truth is the warmth is gone
Whoa, and there's a silence now
Silent words cut deep and wide
And I'll do anything to get back on your loving side
To get back on your loving side
To get that tender feeling, feeling right
I'd give my heart to keep our love alive
And be a hero in your blue eyes
To get back on your loving side
Where your life's wrapped up in mine
Whoa, my heart won't be satisfied
Till I get back on your loving side
Goodbye Time lyrics - Conway Twitty
It's your life
You say you need a change
Don't all the dreams we've seen come true
Mean anything
You say, "It's different now"
And you keep starin' at the door
How can you walk away?
Don't I matter anymore
If being free is worth what you leave behind
And if it's too late for love to change your mind
Then it's goodbye time
If we had known
Our love would come to this
We could have saved our hearts the hurt
Of wasted years
"Well it's been fun"
What else can I say
If the feeling's gone
Words won't stop you anyway
If being free is worth what you leave behind
And if it's too late for love to change your mind
Then it's goodbye time
You say you need a change
Don't all the dreams we've seen come true
Mean anything
You say, "It's different now"
And you keep starin' at the door
How can you walk away?
Don't I matter anymore
If being free is worth what you leave behind
And if it's too late for love to change your mind
Then it's goodbye time
If we had known
Our love would come to this
We could have saved our hearts the hurt
Of wasted years
"Well it's been fun"
What else can I say
If the feeling's gone
Words won't stop you anyway
If being free is worth what you leave behind
And if it's too late for love to change your mind
Then it's goodbye time
