Six more days and I'll be gone
Get on the train that'll take me home That old train is where I belong Home's gonna feel just fine When that old train's gonna move me down the line Yes, I know him and you do too There's a lot he can do for you Looking down from on his throne Gonna make you feel alright Just let him keep his arms around you tight He gave this world to you and me We're going fishing in the creek So find yourself a little girl The world's gonna be alright Just keep your arms around each other tight |

Simpson
She's in some honky tonk tonight, I know She's dancing where the music's loud and the lights are low In a crowded bar she likes to hang around But as long as there's a honky tonk, she'll never settle down. So close up the honky tonks, lock all the doors Don't let the one I love go there any more Close up the honky tonks, throw away the key Then maybe the one I love will come back to me. I wish I had the power to turn back the time And live again the hours when she was all mine 'Cause it hurts to see her running with that crowd downtown But as long as there's a honky tonk she'll never settle down. So close up the honky tonks, lock all the doors Don't let the one I love go there any more Close up the honky tonks, throw away the key Then maybe the one I love will come back to me Then maybe the one I love will come back to me. |

Haggard
The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom And I stand up to say good-bye like all the rest Then I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell 'Let my guitar playing, friend, do my request'. Want you sing me back home with a song I used to hear ? Make my old memories come alive ? And take me away and turn back the years Sing me back home before I die. And I remember Sunday evening when a choir came in from town And got up to sing a few old gospel song Then I heard him tell the singers : 'There's a song my mama sang' 'Could you sing it once before we move along ?' Want you sing me back home with a song I used to hear ? Make my old memories come alive ? And take me away and turn back the years Sing me back home before I die. Want you sing me back home before I die ? |

Haggard
Each night I leave the barroom when it's over Not feelin' any pain at closing time But tonight your memory found me, much to sober Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind. Tonight the bottle let me down And let your memories come around The one true friend I thought I've found Tonight the bottle let me down. I've always had a bottle I could turn to And lately I've been turning every day That the wine don't take a laugh the way it used to do Now I'm hurtin' an open million way. Oo tonight the bottle let me down And let your memories come around The one true friend I thought I've found Tonight the bottle let me down Tonight the bottle let me down. |

Ripley
You tell me you have married an angel She's made Heaven out of your home You say there couldn't be rainbows without her She's brought you happiness you've never known. You may hate me for the ……. I will tell you But you'll thank me for setting you right But you work to keep angels in Heaven Your angel steps out of Heaven each night. Her Heaven's not the same that you're living in It's any place where there's music and some free drinks from men So call her your angel, I won't say you're not right But your angel steps out of Heaven each night. Her Heaven's not the same that you're living in It's any place where there's music and some free drinks from men So call her your angel, I won't say you're not right But your angel steps out of Heaven each night Yes your angel steps out of Heaven each night. |

Well blue ain't the word for the way that I feel There's a storm that's brewing in this heart of mine This ain't no crazy dream but I know that it's real That's why I'm so lonesome all the time. Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new While my aching heart keeps saying you're not mine This is no crazy dream but I know that it's real But now I'm so lonesome all the time. So please take the treasured dreams I've had for you and me And take all the love I thought was mine 'Cause someday my troubled arms may hold somebody new But now I'm so lonely all the time. Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new While my aching heart keeps saying you're not mine My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed And that's why I'm so lonesome all the time. |

Together again my tears have stopped falling The long lonely nights are now at an end The key to my heart you hold in your hand And nothing else matters now, we're together again. Together again the grey skies are gone You're back in my arms now where you belong The love that I knew is living again And nothing else matters now, we're together again. No nothing else matters now baby, we're together again. |

I met a gin-soaked bar-room queen in Jackson She tried to take me upstairs for a ride There's many a bar-room queen I've seen in Jackson But I just can't seem to drink you off my mind. It's the honky tonk women Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues. I laid a hitch to …… in San Francisco I had to give me some kind of a fight The lady they hold just me all in roses She blew my nose and then she blew my mind.

Putman Jr.
The old home town looks the same since I step down from the train And there to meet me was my mama and papa Down the lane I look and there runs Mary, hair of gold and lips like cherries It's good to touch the green, green grass of home. The old house is still standing though the paint is cracked and dry And there's the old oak tree that I used to play on Down the lane I'll walk with my sweet Mary, hair of gold and lips like cherries It's good to touch the green, green grass of home. And they'll all come to see me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly It's good to touch the green, green grass of home. Then I awake and look around me at the cold gray walls that surround me And I realize that I was only dreamin' 'Cause there stands the guard and a sad old padre and arm and arm they'll walk at daybreak And again I'll touch the green, green grass of home. Yes, they'll all come to see me by the shade of the old oak tree And they lay me meet the green, green grass of home. |

Adair
A home and little children mean nothing to you A house filled with love and a husband that's true You'd rather have a drink with the first guy you meet And the only home you know is the club down the street. Dim lights, thick smoke and loud loud music It's the only kind of life you'll ever understand Dim lights, thick smoke and loud loud music You'll never make a wife to a home lovin' man. A drinkin' and dancin' to a honky-tonk band Is the only kind of life you'LL ever understand Go on and have your fun you think you've played it smart I'm sorry for you and your honky-tonk heart. Dim lights, thick smoke and loud loud music It's the only kind of life you'll ever understand Dim lights, thick smoke and loud loud music You'll never make a wife to a home lovin' man You'll never make a wife to a home lovin' man. |

There's a light, a certain kind of light that never shone on me I want my life to be lived with you, lived with you. There's a way, everybody say, to do each and every little thing But what does it bring if I ain't got you, ain't got ? Baby, you don't know what it's like Baby, you don't know what it's like To love somebody, to love somebody the way I love you. In my brain, I see your face again, I know my frame of mind You ain't got to be so blind and I'm blind, so so so very blind. I'm a man, can't you see what I am ? I live and breathe for you But what good does it do if I ain't got you, ain't got ? Baby, you don't know what it's like Baby, you don't know what it's like To love somebody, to love somebody the way I love you. You don't know what it's like Baby, you don't know what it's like To love somebody, to love somebody the way I love you. You don't know what it's like You don't know what it's like To love somebody ... |
