  1. I need Thee every hour, most gracious Lord;
    No tender voice like Thine can peace afford.
    • Refrain:
      I need Thee, oh, I need Thee;
      Every hour I need Thee;
      Oh, bless me now, my Savior,
      I come to Thee.
  2. I need Thee every hour, stay Thou nearby;
    Temptations lose their pow’r when Thou art nigh.
  3. I need Thee every hour, in joy or pain;
    Come quickly and abide, or life is vain.
  4. I need Thee every hour; teach me Thy will;
    And Thy rich promises in me fulfill.
  5. I need Thee every hour, most Holy One;
    Oh, make me Thine indeed, Thou blessed Son.

Anniversary Blue Yodel Lyrics

Merle Haggard

I was a stranger passing through your town
Honey, I was a stranger passing through your town
When I asked you a favor, good gal, you turned me down
Sure did

You may see me talking and walking down the railroad track
You may see me talking, walking down the railroad track
But good gal, you done me wrong, I ain’t never coming back
It’s the truth, honey

Yo-de-lay-ee ad-ee-oh-ay

Honey, I’m so lonesome, I don’t know what to do
Honey, I’m so lonesome, I don’t know what to do
They way you treat me, Mama, Lord, I hope you’re lonesome too
Lord, Lord, Lord

Yo-de-lay-ee ad-ee-oh-ay
Pick one, boy
And man, let’s go to town

I rode the Southern, I rode the L&N, yes I have
I rode the Southern, I rode the L&N
And if the police don’t get me, I’m gonna ride them again

Say hey, Mr. Brakeman, don’t put me off your train
Please, Mr. Brakeman, don’t put me off your train
‘Cause the weather is cold and it looks like it’s going to rain

Yo-de-lay-ee rain rain

Hey, I like Mississippi, I fool about Tennessee
I like Mississippi, fool about Tennessee
But these Texas women about got the best of me

Yo-de-lay-ee ad-ee-ay hee hee

Carrying Your Love with Me

George Strait

Baby all I got’s this beat up leather bag
And everything I own don’t fill up half
But don’t you worry ’bout the way I pack
All I care about is gettin’ back real soon
A goodbye kiss is all I need from you

‘Cause I’m carryin’ your love with me
West Virginia down to Tennessee
I’ll be movin’ with the good Lord’s speed
Carryin’ your love with me
It’s my strength for holdin’ on
Every minute that I have to be gone
I’ll have everything I’ll ever need
I’m carryin’ your love with me

On a lonely highway stuck out in the rain
Darlin’ all I have to do is speak your name
The clouds roll back and the waters part
The sun starts shinin’ in my heart for you
You’re right there in everything I do

‘Cause I’m carryin’ your love with me
West Virginia down to Tennesse
I’ll be movin’ with the good Lord’s speed
Carryin’ your love with me
It’s my strength for holdin’ on
Every minute that I have to be gone
I’ll have everything I’ll ever need
I’m carryin’ your love with me

It’s my strength for holdin’ on
Every minute that I have to be gone
I’ll have everything I’ll ever need
I’m carryin’ your love with me
I’m carryin’ your love with me
I’m carryin’ your love with me
West Virginia down to Tennessee
I’ll be movin’ with the good Lord’s speed
Carrying’ your love with me

Conway Twitty “It’s Only Make Believe” Lyrics

People see us everywhere
They think you really care
But myself I can’t deceive
I know it’s only make believe

My one and only prayer is that some day you’ll care,
My hopes, my dreams come true, my one and only you.
No one will ever know how much I love you so
My only prayer will be someday you’ll care for me
But it’s o-only make believe.

My hopes, my dreams come true, my life I’d give for you,
My heart, a wedding ring, my all, my everything.
My heart I can’t control, you rule my very soul,
My only prayer will be someday you’ll care for me
But it’s o-only make believe.

My one and only prayer, is that some day you’ll care,
My hopes, my dreams come true, my one and only you
No one will ever know how much I love you so
My prayers, my hopes, my schemes, you are my every dream
But it’s o-only make believe (Make believe)

Love Without End, Amen Lyrics

George Strait

I got sent home from school one day with a shiner on my eye
Fightin’ was against the rules and it didn’t matter why
When dad got home I told that story just like I’d rehearsed
Then stood there on those tremblin’ knees and waitin’ for the worst

And he said Let me tell you a secret about a father’s love
A secret that my daddy said was just between us
He said daddies don’t just love their children every now and then
It’s a love without end, amen
It’s a love without end, amen

When I became a father in the spring of ’81
There was no doubt that stubborn boy was just like my father’s son
And when I thought my patience had been tested to the end
I took my daddy’s secret and passed it on to him

I said Let me tell you a secret about a father’s love
A secret that my daddy said was just between us
He said daddies don’t just love their children every now and then
It’s a love without end, amen
It’s a love without end, amen

Last night I dreamed I’d died and stood outside those pearly gates
When suddenly I realized there must be some mistake
If they know half the things I’ve done, they’ll never let me in
Then somewhere from the other side, I heard these words again

And they said Let me tell you a secret about a father’s love
A secret that my daddy said was just between us
He said daddies don’t just love their children every now and then
It’s a love without end, amen
It’s a love without end, amen

You Look So Good in Love Lyrics

George Strait

Oh, how you sparkle
And oh, how you shine
The flush on your cheeks
Is more than the wine

And he must do something
That I didn’t do
Whatever he’s doing
It looks good on you

You look so good in love
You want him
That’s easy to see
You look so good in love
I wish you still wanted me

He must have stolen
Some stars from the sky
And gave them to you
To wear in your eyes

I had my chances
But I set you free
And now I wonder
Why I couldn’t see

You look so good in love
You want him
That’s easy to see
You look so good in love
I wish you still wanted me

Darling I’ve wasted a lot of years not seeing the real you
But tonight your beauty is shining through
And I never took the time to let you know
So before he takes you away please let me say

You look so good in love
You want him
That’s easy to see
You look so good in love
I wish you still wanted me
You look so good in love
You want him
That’s easy to see
You look so good in love

The Fightin’ Side Of Me Lyrics

Merle Haggard

I hear people talkin’ bad about the way
We have to live here in this country
Harpin’ on the wars we fight
And gripin’ ’bout the way things oughta be

And I don’t mind ’em switchin’ sides
And standin’ up for things they believe in
When they’re runnin’ down my country, man
They’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me

Yeah, walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me
Runnin’ down the way of life
Our fightin’ men have fought and died to keep
If you don’t love it, leave it
Let this song I’m singin’ be a warnin’
When you’re runnin’ down my country, man
You’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of meI read about some squirrely guy
Who claims, he just don’t believe in fightin’
And I wonder just how long
The rest of us can count on bein’ free

They love our milk and honey
But they preach about some other way of livin’
When they’re runnin’ down my country, hoss
They’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me

Yeah, walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me
Runnin’ down the way of life
Our fightin’ men have fought and died to keep
If you don’t love it, leave it
Let this song I’m singin’ be a warnin’
When you’re runnin’ down my country, man
You’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me

Yeah, walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me
Runnin’ down the way of life
Our fightin’ men have fought and died to keep
If you don’t love it, leave it
Let this song I’m singin’ be a warnin’
When you’re runnin’ down my country, man
You’re walkin’ on the fightin’ side of me

Why Me Lyrics

Why me, Lord? What have I ever done
To deserve even one of the pleasures I’ve known?
Tell me, Lord, what did I ever do to be worthy
Of You and the kindness you’ve shown?

Lord help me, Jesus, I’ve wasted it
So help me, Jesus, I know what I am
Now that I know that I’ve needed you
So help me, Jesus, my soul’s in your hand

Try me, Lord, if you think there’s a way
I can try to repay all I’ve taken from you
Maybe, Lord, I can show someone else
What I’ve been through myself on my way back to you

Lord help me, Jesus, I’ve wasted it
So help me, Jesus, I know what I am
Now that I know that I’ve needed you
So help me, Jesus, my soul’s in your hand

[Outro]
Jesus, my soul’s in your hand

Me and Bobby McGee Lyrics

Waylon Jennings

Busted flat in Baton Rouge
Waitin’ for the train
Feelin’ nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
Just before it rained
Rode us all the way to New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
And was playing soft
While Bobby sang the blues
With them windshield wipers slappin’ time
I was holdin’ Bobby’s hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew


Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose
Nothin’ ain’t worth nothin’ but it’s free
Feelin’ good was easy, Lord,
When he sang the blues
And feelin’ good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee


From Kentucky coal mines
To the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather, Lord
Through everything I done
Bobby baby kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord
I let him slip away
Lookin’ for the home I hope he’ll find it
And I’d trade all of my tomorrows
For one single yesterday
Holdin’ Bobby’s body next to mine


Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose
Nothin’ left is all that Bobby left me
Feelin good was easy, Lord
When he sang the blues
And buddy, that was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
