Well me and my baby are goin' steady
We ain't married but we're gettin' ready
To tie the knot and I'm gonna make her my own
Now that I've found her I'm gonna keep her
Finders keepers losers weepers
She's my baby she's goin' steady with me
Well I've been honky tonkin' round
Nearly all my life
But now I got a steady babe
And I'm gonna make her my wife
All you rovin' ramblers can leave her alone
Don't even try to date her on the phone
Cause she's my baby she's goin' steady with me

Well now sweet baby that we're goin' steady
I'll pull up and ask your daddy
What he thinks if you and I are wed
Cause I love you and you love me
We're both as happy as can be
And I hope your daddy will
Let you go steady with me
Well we'll get the rings and be on our way
To see the preacher man
And when you say I do, sweetheart
I'll slip the ring on your loving hand
Everything's gonna turn out fine
I'll be yours and you'll be mine
Cause you're my baby you're goin' steady with me

Each day there's someone who pays for another's mistakes
The guilty go free but the hearts of the innocent break
You brag that you cheat or I'd never believe it was so
And if that's the fashion then leave me to sorrow and go

I vowed to my heart I'd be true dear when God made us one
You took the same vow and shame those who cheated for fun
Now you see no glamor in love that is faithful and true
And if that's the fashion it's the kind of love that I never knew

I thought your young heart would settle and wanted just one
I was so wrong but it's hard to undo whatn is done
I guess it's time changing the cycle of life changes too
So if that's the fashion be gay for life owes it to you

Tears keep rolling down your cheek
Your voice gets weak so you can't speak
Every day seems like a week
And that's what it's like to be lonesome.

You get too blue to stay at home
But in a crowd you're still alone
You lose the will to carry on
And that's what it's like to be lonesome.

Everyone has a hope that's died
Everyone cries a tear inside
Everyone has a cross to bear
But I've got no one in my share.

Your mind is built with memories
Your heart cries out for sympathy
An empty blue eternity
And that's what it's like to be lonesome.

Everyone has a hope that's died

But I've got no one in my share.

An empty blue eternity
And that's what it's like to be lonesome...

Have I waited too long
To say that I love you?
Have I waited too long
For my dreams to come true?

Each day here I pray
That you will forgive me
I know I was wrong
Have I waited too long.

It seems that all started
The day that we parted
I love you much more, now
Than ever before.

If you'll only forgive
You'll never be sorry?
I'll right every wrong
Have I waited too long?

Have I waited too long
To beg you forgiveness
Down hearted and blue
Always thinking of you.

Each night in my dreams
Your memories haunt me
I just can't go on
Have I waited too long.

It seems that all started
The day that we parted
I love you much more, now
Than ever before.

If you'll only forgive
You'll never be sorry?
I'll right every wrong
Have I waited too long?...

Sweet dreams of you
Every night I go through
Why can't I forget you
And start my life anew?

Instead of having
Sweet dreams about you
You don't love me it's plain
I should know you'll never wear my name.

I should hate you
The whole night through
Instead of having
Sweet dreams about you.

Sweet dreams of you
Dreams I know can't come true
Why can't I forget the past
Start loving someone new?

Instead of having
Sweet dreams about you
Sweet dreams about you.
You don't love me it's plain
I should know you'll never wear my name.

I should hate you
The whole night through
Instead of having
Sweet dreams about you...

Just married this mornin'.
How happy they are.
"Just Married" written on
The window of a-their car.
It broke my heart
To see them drive away.
I lost the one I love today.

Dressed all in white satin,
White lace in her hair.
She looked so lovely
It was more than I could bear.
Some people guessed the way that I felt
They saw the tears I could not hide.

I should have stayed at home.
I knew what was in store,
But somethin' made me come
To see her just once more.
Just married this mornin'.
How happy they are.

Well it's a great life if you don't weaken but who wants to be strong

Well I don't guess I'll ever make a million I just want enough to get by
Like a checking the town in two or three banks and a yellow Cadillac to drive
To go sportin' around with two or three red-heads or maybe take a blonde along
It's a great life if you don't weaken but who wants to be strong

Just give me my money and cold hard pension give my guitar in tune
And get me a date with a pretty little thing and I'll be markin' afternoon
No want more than anybody else just takes more for me to get along
It's a great life if you don't weaken but who wants to be strong

It's a simple thing in life that really matter and I'm a pretty simple guy
Just give me a house a swimming pool and a little sport plane to fly
It don't take much to satisfy me I'm a country boy tryin' to get along
It's a great life if you don't weaken but who wants to be strong

I want to live fast love hard die young and leave a beautiful memory
I want to live fast love hard die young and leave a beautiful memory
Don't want slow walkin' or sad singin' let 'em have a jubilee
I want to leave a lot of happy women a thinking pretty thoughts of me

I want to live fast love hard die young and leave a beautiful memory
I got a hot-rod car and a cowboy suit and I really do get around
I got a little black book and the gals look cute and I know the name of every spot in town
I want to find 'em fool 'em leave 'em and let 'em do the same to me
I want to live fast love hard die young and leave a beautiful memory

I want to live fast love hard die young and leave a beautiful memory
I'm a wampus cat let me grab my hat and baby come along with me
We're gonna do some fancy stepping we're really goin' on a spree

I want to live fast love hard die young and leave a beautiful memory
Now you may not approve of the things I do but it really don't bother me
But don't ever think you can tie me down I'm gonna stay footloose and fancy free
So jump back make tracks move out and let the pretty gals at me
I want to live fast love hard die young and leave a beautiful memory

Hello, walls, (hello) (hello)
How'd things go for you today
Don't you miss her
Since she up and walked a way
And I'll bet you dread to spend
Another lonely night with me
Lonely walls
I'll keep you company.

Hello, window - (hello) (hello)
Well I see that you're still here
Aren't you lonely
Since our darlin' disappeared
Well, look here, is that a teardrop
In the corner of your pane
Now, don't you try
To tell me that it's rain.

She went away and left us all alone
The way she planned
Guess we'll have to learn to get along
Without her if we can;

Hello, ceiling, (hello) (hello)
I'm gonna stare at you awhile
You know I can't sleep
So won't you bear with me awhile
We must all stick together or else
I'll lose my mind
I've got a feelin'
She'll be gone a long, long time.

I met you my country girl, you didn't have a thing
I fell in love, I dressed you up, then I bought the ring
I was teachin' you to love, you were learnin' fine,
Then one day you learned too much and it poisoned your sweet mind

Now you've gone and left me, you're with somebody new
But I wonder if you told him, I bought the clothes on you
When you two are dancin' and you whisper soft and sweet
I wonder if you'll tell him, I bought the shoes on your feet

Now I've lost my country girl to a city love affair
He built you up, you fell for him, you didn't treat me fair
You think that he's a dream come true, he says he loves you so
But wait until the word gets out, I taught you all that you know

Now you've gone and left me, you're with somebody new
But I wonder if you told him, I bought the clothes on you
When you two are dancin' and you whisper soft and sweet
I wonder if you'll tell him, I bought the shoes on your feet

I know how it feels to be alive with no desire to live
I know how it feels to never take and always have to give
And the day I found out was on the day you let me down
In this world so full of love with not enough to go around

I was once so proud to have your love that I could burst with pride
But you took that away and now I'm breaking up inside
It's enough to make me wish that I could hide and not be found
In this world so full of love with not enough to go around

For days and nights I wonder and the reason I can't find
There's so much love around me and no love to call mine
It's enough to make me wish that I could hide and not be found
In this world so full of love yet not enough to go around
