How many times have you heard someone say
If I had his money I could do things my way But little they know that is so hard to find one rich man in ten with a satisfied mind Once I was waiting in fortune and fame Everything that I dreamed for to get a start in life's game But suddenly it's happened I lost every dime But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind Money can't buy back your youth when you're old Or a friend when you're lonely or a love that's grown cold The wealthiest person is a proper at times compared to the man with a satisfied mind When life has ended my time has run out My friends and my loved ones I'll leave there's no doubt But there's one thing for certain when it comes my time I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By JACK RHODES, RED HAYES <i>Lyrics © CARLIN AMERICA INC, WINDSWEPT HOLDINGS LLC</i> |

Oh mama I'm excited I'm almost out of breath
What I saw the light that made me run myself to death I was on the mountain side when I looked down below And glory be I thought I'd better come and let you know We got company comin' company comin' we got company comin' up the road They're down the road about a mile they'll be here in a little while There's company comin' up the road Well Granny change your apron and Willie shine your shoes Sally put your new dress on we got no time to lose I'll go find a welcome mat and spread it out with cheer I don't know yet just who they are can't pick 'em out from here But we got company comin' company comin' we got company comin' up the road They're comin' up the mountain side Susie don't you run and hide There's company comin' up the road We'll run out to the henhouse and wring a neck or two We'll have chicken and dumplings and some yellow gravy too Grandpa get your fiddle down they might want a tune Everybody hurry cause them folks will be here soon We got company comin' company comin' we got company comin' up the road Let them all shout out aloud they'll be here in a minute now There's company comin' down the road Oh we got company comin' company comin' we got company comin' up the road Let them all shout out aloud they'll be here in a minute now There's company comin' down the road |

(What would you do what would you do if Jesus came to spend some time with you)
If Jesus came to your house to spend a day or two If he came unexpectedly I wonder what you'd do When you saw him comin' would you meet him at the door With arms outstretched and welcome to your heavenly visitor Or would you need to change some things before you let him in Like burn some magazines and put the Bible where they'd been Oh I know that you'd give your nicest room to such an honered guest And all the food you would serve to him would be the very best And you'd keep assuring him that you were glad to have him there That serving him in your home was a joy beyond compare But what about your family conversation would it keep up its normal pace And would you find it hard each meal to say a table grace Would you be glad to have him stay forever on and on Or would you sigh of great relief when finally he had gone You know it might be interesting to know the things you'd do If Jesus came in person to spend some time with you (What would you do what would you do if Jesus came to spend some time with you) |

I'm havin' a hard time tryin' to forget the blues
They're playin' lonely music on the jukebox The song they're singin' makes me want to cry Cause it reminds that you've gone and left me I feel a teardrop comin' to my eyes I'm havin' a hard time tryin' to forget the blues I see two lovers laughin' in a corner they're in the booth I used to share with you He looks at her like she was straight from heaven the very way I used to look at you I'm havin' a hard time tryin' to forget the blues [ steel ] The tear that's in my eye is gettin' bigger I guess I'll have to go on home and hide No want my friends to know how much you've hurt me No want to show them how I feel inside I'm havin' a hard time tryin' to forget the blues |

I said goodbye to you this morning with only these words to explain
I said I've found someone I love better but I still hear your voice call my name I thought I heard you calling my name funny I still feel this way Your voice seemed so close but I knew that by now you were many miles away [ steel - fiddle ] I walk through the streets of the city people passing by think it's so strange I'm talking but there's no one beside me I thought I heard you calling my name I thought I heard you... |

Today I burned your old love letters I burned them slowly one by one
Before I'd light the flame I'd read them to try and find the wrongs I done The first you wrote me was the sweetest the last one broke my heart in two And all alone I left you weeping for the ashes of your letters tied in blue [ guitar ] As I burned your old love letters I watched my dreams go up in smoke I lived again those precious mem'ries I heard each tender word you spoke The first you wrote me was the sweetest the last one said that we were through Our love is there among the ambers in the ashes of your letters tied in blue |

So break out the bottle bring on the crowd
Just gather round me cause misery loves a company I've just left my home friends where I couldn't sleep For missin' a woman that I couldn't keep She just walked out and left me for somebody else Now her memory keeps hauntin' me when I'm by myself So break out the bottle bring on the crowd Tell funny stories turn the jukebox up loud Come on sit at my table where the drinks are on me Just gather round me cause misery loves company Now I'm not the first one who's lost everything To a false hearted woman with a false hearted dream But this is the first time I've suffered myself Help me get over this love I'll get over next love all by myself So break out the bottle... |

I've enjoyed as much of this as I can stand
You look lovelier tonight than I remember I'm so glad I got to see you once again I've enjoyed just sitting down and reminiscing But I've enjoyed as much of this as I can stand So you say you're happy now you've found a new love Tell him I said he's a lucky lucky man No I don't think I'll have time to see his picture I've enjoyed as much of this as I can stand There's so much more between us than this table All those years all those dreams all those plans Guess you know without me saying I still love you But I've enjoyed as much of this as I can stand [ steel - el.banjo ] There's so much more between us... |

Just pour me sorrow on the rocks bartender,
Sorrow on the rocks will do I'm tryin' to drown my troubles, So make it a double, mhm mhm mhm The seat of my pants is slick from my barstool And my hand's in the shape of a glass My eyes look like a roadmap of Georgia And it's a shame I've lost my class One broken heart can do strange things to a fellow who can't take pain But in this hundred proof condition I'm in no position to take her back again So pour me sorrow on the rocks... Looks like the hair on my head ain't never met a comb And my face is a bearded mess My hand shakes slightly and I have to walk lightly Or I'll weave from right to left The music on the jukebox don't mean a thing 'Cause I'm too far gone for a song I sure feel bad cause my baby ain't here and I'm sorry that I done her wrong So pour me sorrow on the rocks... So pour me sorrow on the rocks... |

The old hometown looks the same
As I step down from the train There to meet me is my Mama and Papa And down the road I look, and there runs Mary Hair of gold and lips like cherry It's good to touch the green green grass of home Yes they've all come to meet me Arms a-reaching, smiling sweetly It's good to touch the green green grass of home The old house is still standing Though the paint is cracked and dry There's that old oak tree that I used to play on And down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary Hair of gold and lips like cherry It's good to touch the green green grass of home Then I awake and look around me At these four grey walls that surround me And I realize that I was only dreaming For there's a guard and a sad old heartbreak Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak When again I'll touch the green green grass of home They'll all come to see me In the shade of that old oak tree As they lay me 'neath the green green grass of home |

The one I love don't want me hanging round
All she does is put me on and put me down Tonight she's with a stranger at a party in her home And I'm here at a tavern gettin' stoned Cause if I gotta go I'll go down swinging Where there's lights and laughter booze and blonds and a lot of sad sad singing I'll sober up tomorrow and cry all day I know At least I'll go down swinging what a swinging way to go [ el.banjo ] I dance with all the girls and buy the wine Play the jukebox till I'm down to my last dime She thinks she made a fool of me by loving someone else She should see me make a fool out of myself Cause if I gotta go... |

From daylight till dusk, we've been a workin' in the dust
Pickin' cotton workin' side by side Well, I can't forget yes, I remember yet The way my daddy looked at me and cried "Big wind's a comin' listen to the hummin' Hurry up son be quick don't stall You know we can't be slow, take the kids and get below If we don't hurry it'll surely get us all" Well, I ran across the field, so scared my lips was sealed To warn my mom the storm is on its way Well, I knew I'd won my race when I saw my mammy's face And the way she looked at me and said "Big wind's a comin' listen to the hummin' Hurry up son be quick don't stall You know we can't be slow, take the kids and get below If we don't hurry it'll surely get us all" Oh, but dad was on the cellar and by now the sky was yellow The wind was a blowin' trees were fallin' And outside I heard him cryin' and as he lay there dyin' It seemed I could still hear him callin' "Son big wind's a comin' listen to the hummin' Hurry up son be quick don't stall You know we can't be slow, take the kids and get below If we don't hurry it'll surely get us all" Big wind, big wind's a comin' |

I've learned to live my life just a little bit lighter
Gonna look on the lonely days a little bit brighter My heart's been throwed around it ain't done enough laughin' What is to be will be what ain't to be just might happen It don't do no good to worry none Just turns your hair gray while you're still young Love can make you sing start your hands a clappin' What is to be will be what ain't to be just might happen You can't never tell when love might find you Could be miles away or right beside you Some makes you hurt real bad some makes you happy What is to be will be what ain't to be just might happen It don't do no good... ( ac.guitar ) I had a love one time sent me out on a ledge Fourteen stories high standin' on the edge I don't want that kind no more to start my world a crackin' What is to be will be what ain't to be just might happen It don't do no good... What is to be will be what ain't to be just might happen |

On a highway headed south somewhere to Dixie
Where the cotton blooms in spring and snow don't fly I'm gonna rest these chilly bones in southern sunshine And live where the weather's warm until I die North Dakota you've got my better years Montana you've got five years of my life But your subzero wind will never touch me again Southern folks can't live on snow and ice On a highway headed south... When I cross the Dixie line I'll throw away my coat And my goods down underwear will have to go I'll never live again where the weather chills you to the bone I'm tired of livin' like an Eskimo On a highway headed south... On a highway headed south... |
