Don Williams - The Best Of Don Williams/ The Millennium Collection [compilation] (2007) by Don Williams (보컬) on maniadb.com

I don't believe in superstars organic food and foreign cars
I don't believe the price of gold the certainty of growing old
That right is right and left is wrong that north and south can't get along
That east is east and west is west and being first is always best
But I believe in love I believe in babies I believe in mom and dad and I believe in you

I don't believe that heaven waits for only those who congregate
I like to think of God as love he's down below he's up above
He's watchin' people everywhere he knows who does and doesn't care
And I'm an ordinary man sometimes I wonder who I am
But I believe in love I believe in music I believe in magic and I believe in you

Well I know with all my certainty what's going on with you and me is a good thing
It's true I believe in you
Well I don't believe virginity is as common as it used to be
In working days and sleeping nights that black is black and white is white
That Superman and Robin Hood are still alive in Hollywood
That gasoline's in short supply the rising cost of gettin' by
But I believe in love I believe in old folks I believe in children and I believe in you

Lord, I hope this day is good
I'm feelin' empty and misunderstood
I should be thankful, Lord, I know I should
But Lord I hope this day is good

Lord, have you forgotten me
I've been prayin' to you faithfully
I'm not sayin' I'm a righteous man
But Lord I hope you understand

I don't need fortune and I don't need fame
Send down the thunder, Lord, send down the rain
But when you're plannin' just how it will be
Plan a good day for me

Lord, I hope this day is good
I'm feelin' empty and misunderstood
I should be thankful, Lord, I know I should
But Lord I hope this day is good

You've been the King since the dawn of time
All that I'm askin' is a little less crime
It might be hard for the devil to do
But it would be easy for you

Lord, I hope this day is good
I'm feelin' empty and misunderstood
I should be thankful, Lord, I know I should
But Lord I hope this day is good

(Bob McDill)

Oh, all I needed
Was one look
One magic moment
Was all it took.
From that moment
I love you so
Now that I found you
I'm never gonna let you go.

C'mon say it
Say it again
It's sounds so good
Say it one more time
And then.
Oh, if you mean it
Say it again
The hard part's over
And the lovin' part begins.

--- Hums with Instrumental ---

Oh, hold me closer
Make me warm
I feel wanted
Here in your arms
I've been lonely
For too long
I've waited a lot time
For you to come along.

C'mon say it
Say it again
It's sounds so good
Say it one more time
And then
Oh, if you mean it
Say it again
The hard part's over
And the lovin' part begins.

C'mon say it
Say it again
It's sounds so good
Say it one more time
And then
Oh, if you mean it
Say it again
The hard part's over
And the lovin' part begins...

I left Oklahoma, drivin' in a Pontiac
Just about to lose my mind
I was goin' to Arizona
Maybe on to California
Where the people all live so fine.

My baby said, I'z crazy
My mama called me lazy
I was gonna show 'em all this time
'Cause you know I ain't no fool
And I don't need no more schoolin'
I was born to just walk the line.

Livin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time
Well, you'll know I been through it
When I set my watch back to it
Livin' on Tulsa Time.

Well, there I was in Hollywood
Wishin' I was doin' good
Talkin' on the telephone line
But they don't need me in the movies
And nobody sings my songs
Guess, I'm just a wastin' time.

Well, then I got to thinkin'
Man I'm really sinkin'
An I really had a flash this time
I had no business leavin'
An nobody would be grievin'
If I just went on back to Tulsa time.

Livin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time
Gonna set my watch back to it
'Cause you know I been through it
Livin' on Tulsa time.

Livin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa time
Gonna set my watch back to it
'Cause you know I been through
Livin' on Tulsa time.

(Marshall Barer, Fred Hellerman)

I ain't gonna marry in the fall
I ain't gonna marry in the spring
'Cause I'm in love with a pretty little girl
Who wears a diamond ring.

And I'm just a country boy
Money have I none
But I've got silver in the stars
Gold in the mornin' sun
Gold in the mornin' sun.

Never gonna kiss
The ruby red lips
Of the prettiest girl in town
Never gonna ask her if she'd
Marry me
I know she'd turn me down.

'Cause I'm just a country boy
Money have I none
But I've got silver in the stars
And gold in the mornin' sun
Gold in the mornin' sun.

I never could afford
A store bought ring
With a sparkling diamond stone
All I could afford
Is a loving heart
The only one I own.

'Cause I'm just a country boy
Money have I none
But I've got silver in the stars
And gold in the mornin' sun
Gold in the mornin' sun...

When I was a kid Uncle Remus he put me to bed
With a picture of Stonewall Jackson above my head
Then daddy came in to kiss his little man
With gin on his breath and a Bible in his hand
He talked about honor and things I should know
Then he staggered a little as he went out the door
I can still hear the soft southern winds in the live oak trees
And those Williams boys they still mean a lot to me Hank and Tennessee
I guess we're all gonna be what we're gonna be
So what do you do with good ole boys like me

Nothing makes a sound in the night like the wind does
But you ain't afraid if you're washed in the blood like I was
The smell of Cape Jasmine through the window screen
John R and the wolfman kept me company
By the light of the radio by my bed with Thomas Wolfe whispering in my head
I can still hear the soft southern winds...

When I was in school I ran with a kid down the street
And I watched him burn himself up on Bourbon and speed
But I was smarter than most and I could choose
Learned to talk like the man on the six o'clock news
When I was eighteen Lord I hit the road but it really dodn't matter how far I go
I can still hear the soft southern winds...
Yeah what do you do with good ole boys like me

(Bob McDill, Wayland Holyfield)

She packed up her suitcase
And walked to the door
She said she won't come back
Like she's done before
I'll bet she's in Dallas
Before it gets dark
I know she's thinkin',
She's breakin' my heart.

She knows I love her
But she thinks I'll crawl
But she never knew me
She never knew me
She never knew me, at all.

She knows I love her
I know I need her
God knows to please her
I've tried, and I've tried.

By now if I know her
She's changed her mind
She'll pull off the highway
And have a good cry.

And then like a lost child
She'll wanna come home
She thinks I'm waitin'
There by the phone.

She'll stop in some cafe
And give me a call
But she never knew me
She never knew me
She never knew me, at all...

Well you know I'm not much good at writtin' letters
So I gave up and decided that I'd call
Naw' there's really not much new to tell ya
Things back here they never change at all
It snowed today, its cold here for November
But I hear the weather's warm out there

Oh, and if you see Burt Reynolds
Would you shake his hand for me
And tell ol' Burt , I've seen all his movies
Well, I hope you make the big time
I hope your dreams come true
But if Hollywood don't need you
Honey I still do

Last night I drove the truck to Amarillo
Some friends and I we had a laugh or two
But lately we don't cut up like we used to
'Cause all that I can think about is you
Well, I know this is what you've always wanted
But I know now that all I want is you

So if you see Burt Reynolds
Would you shake his hand for me
And tell ol' Burt , I've seen all his movies
Well, I hope you make the big time
I hope your dreams come true
But if Hollywood don't need you
Honey I still do
If Hollywood don't need you
Honey, I still do

Coffee black, cigarettes,
start this day, like all the rest,
First thing every morning that I do,
Is start missing you

Some broken hearts never mend,
Some memories never end,
Some tears will never dry,
My love for you will never die

Rendezvous in the night,
A willing woman to hold me tight,
But in the middle of love's embrace,
I see your face

Some broken hearts never mend,
Some memories never end,
Some tears will never dry,
My love for you will never die
