That’s the Way Love Goes Lyrics

Song by Merle Haggard

I’ve been throwing horseshoes
Over my left shoulder
I’ve spent most all my life
Searching for that four-leaf clover

Yet you ran with me
Chasing my rainbows
Honey, I love you too
That’s the way love goes

That’s the way love goes, babe
That’s the music God made
For all the world to sing
It’s never old, it grows
Losing makes me sorry
You say, “Honey, now don’t worry
Don’t you know I love you too?”
And that’s the way love goes

That’s the way love goes, babe
That’s the music God made
For all the world to sing
It’s never old, it grows
Losing makes me sorry
And you say, “Honey, don’t worry
Don’t you know I love you too?”
And that’s the way love goes

Johnny Cash wrote this number 1 hit song “Folsom Prison Blues” while he was stationed in Germany with the Air Force in 1952.

This version became a No. 1 hit on the country music charts and reached No. 32 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the same year.

Folsom Prison Blues Lyrics

Hello I’m Johnny Cash
I hear the train a comin’
It’s rolling round the bend
And I ain’t seen the sunshine since I don’t know when
I’m stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin’ on
But that train keeps a rollin’ on down to San Antone.

When I was just a baby my mama told me “Son
Always be a good boy, don’t ever play with guns.”
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowin’, I hang my head and cry.

Suey
I bet there’s rich folks eating from a fancy dining car
They’re probably drinkin’ coffee and smoking big cigars.
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can’t be free
But those people keep a movin’

And that’s what tortures me…
Well if they freed me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I’d move it on a little farther down the line
Far from Folsom prison, that’s where I want to stay
And I’d let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away…

Boot Scootin’ Boogie Lyrics

Song by Brooks & Dunn

Out in the country past the city limits sign
Where there’s a honky tonk near the County line
The joint starts jumpin’ every night when the sun goes down
They got whiskey women, music, and smoke
It’s where all the cowboy folk go to boot scootin’ boogie

I got a good job, I work hard for my money
When it’s quittin’ time, I hit the door runnin’
I fire up my pickup truck and let the horses run
I go flyin’ down that highway to that hide a way
Stuck out in the woods to do the boot scootin’ boogie

Yeah, heel toe, docie doe, come on, baby, let’s go, boot scootin’
Oh, Cadillac, Black Jack, baby meet me outback we’re gonna boogie
Oh, get down turn around go to town boot scootin’ boogie

The bartender asks me, say, “Son what’ll it be”
I want a shot at that redhead yonder lookin’ at me
The dance floors hoppin’, and it’s hotter than the Fourth of July
I see outlaws inlaws crooks and straights
All out makin’ it shake doin’ the boot scootin’ boogie

Yeah, heel toe docie doe come on baby let’s go boot scootin’
Oh, Cadillac, Black Jack, baby meet me outback we’re gonna boogie

Get down turn around go to town boot scootin’ boogie

Oh, heel toe docie doe come on baby let’s go boot scootin’
Yeah, Cadillac, Black Jack baby meet me outback we’re gonna boogie
Yeah, get down turn around go to town boot scootin’ boogie

I say get down turn around go to town boot scootin’ boogie
Oh, get down turn around go to town boot scootin’ boogie

Holding Things Together lyrics

Song by Merle Haggard

Holding things together
Ain’t no easy thing to do
When it comes to raisin’ children
It’s a job – meant for two
Alice please believe me
I can’t go on and on
Holding things together
With you gone.

Today was Angie’s birthday
I guess it slipped your mind
I tried twice to call you
But no answer either time
But the postman brought a present
I mailed some days ago
I just signed it love from mama
So Angie wouldn’t know.

Holding things together
Ain’t no easy thing to do
When it comes to raisin’ children
It’s a job – meant for two
Alice please believe me
I can’t go on and on
Holding things together
With you gone.

Alice please believe me
I can’t go on and on
Holding things together
With you gone.

Sing Me Back Home Lyrics

The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
“Let my guitar playing friend do my request”

Let him sing me back home with a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die

I recall last Sunday morning a choir from off the streets
Came to sing a few old gospel songs
And I heard him tell the singers, “There’s a song my mama sang
Could I hear it once before you move along?”

Sing me back home, the the song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die

Won’t you sing me back home, the the song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing me back home before I die
Sing me back home before I die

Don’t Worry Lyrics

Song by Marty Robbins

Don’t worry ’bout me, it’s all over now
Though I may be blue, I’ll manage somehow
Love can’t be explained, can’t be controlled
One day it’s warm, next day it’s cold

Don’t pity me ’cause I’m feelin’ blue
Don’t be ashamed, it might have been you
Oh-oh-oh, oh, love
Kiss me one time, then go, love
I understand, don’t worry ’bout me

Sweet, sweet, sweet love, I want you to be
As happy as I when you loved me
I’ll never forget you, your sweet memory
It’s all over now, don’t worry ’bout me

When one heart tells one heart, one heart good-bye
One heart is free, one heart will cry
Oh-oh-oh, oh, sweet, sweet baby, sweet baby, sweet
It’s all right, don’t worry ’bout me

You Don’t Know Me Lyrics

Song by Ray Charles

You give your hand to me and then you say “hello”
And I can hardly speak my heart is beating so
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well but you don’t know me, no

No, you don’t know the one who dreams of you each night
And longs to kiss your lips
And longs to hold you tight
To you, I’m just a friend, that’s all I’ve ever been
No, you don’t know me

I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you, yeah
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by
A chance that you might love me too

You give your hand to me and then you say, “goodbye”
And I watched you walk away beside the lucky guy
I know you’ll never know
The one who loved you so
No, you don’t know me

But I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
I’m afraid and shy, I let my chance go by
A chance that you might love me too

You give your hand to me and then you say “goodbye”
And I watched you walk away beside the lucky guy
Oh, you’ll never ever know
The one who loved you so
No, you don’t know me

I say you’ll never ever know
The one who loved you so
No, you don’t know me
No, you don’t know me

Nobody Knows but Me Lyrics

Song by Merle Haggard

Nobody knows about the jailhouse blues till you get within four walls
The jailerman turns that big black key that’s when your spirit falls
You drag yourself up to the bars and while you gaze out at the stars
This is what you’ll say.

Hey why did I stray from the righteous path, nobody knows but me
There on the outside you all can laugh but I don’t need your sympathy
For after I’ve paid for the liquor I’ve stole
I’ll leave this place worth my weight in gold
So why did I stray from the righteous path nobody knows but me.

When you realize that you’re all alone seated in a two-by-four
That little cell is just a taste of hell if you ain’t been there before
Well you’re locked up tight but they treat you fair
You get everything that you need in there
That’s just why you’ll say.

Well, why did I stray from the righteous path, nobody knows but me
There on the outside you all can laugh but I don’t need your sympathy
For after I’ve paid for the liquor I’ve stole
I’ll leave this place worth my weight in gold
So why did I stray from the righteous path nobody knows but me.

Nobody knows but me…

Mama Tried Lyrics

Song by Merle Haggard

The first thing I remember knowing
Was a lonesome whistle blowing
And a young gun’s dream of growing up to ride
On a freight train leaving town
Not knowing where I’m bound
No one could change my mind, but mama tried

One and only rebel child
From the family, meek and mild
My mama seemed to know what lay in store
Despite all my Sunday learning
Towards the bad I kept on turning
‘Til mama couldn’t hold me anymore

And I turned 21 in prison, doing life without parole
No one could steer me right but mama tried, mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading, I denied
That leaves only me to blame ’cause mama tried

Dear old daddy, rest his soul
Left my mom a heavy load
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
Working hours without rest
Wanted me to have the best
She tried to raise me right but I refused

I turned 21 in prison, doing life without parole
No one could steer me right but mama tried, mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading, I denied
Leaves only me to blame ’cause mama tried
