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

Somebody’s Needin’ Somebody Lyrics

Song by Conway Twitty

Someone somewhere’s fallin’ asleep
In a chair in front of the TV
‘Cross town somebody’s up
And walkin’ the floor at a quarter to three

In some little corner of the world
A forgotten soul, is waitin’ by the phone
And right down the hall someone’s in there feelin’
Like cryin’, ’cause they’re livin’ all alone

Somebody’s needin’ somebody, the way I do
Somebody’s wantin’ somebody, they can hold on to
To be loved by somebody, that’s the way it should be
Oh, there’s got to be somebody, somewhere waitin’ for me

Late at night, it’s lonely and I wonder how I’ll ever get through
There’s got to be somebody, somewhere who’s feelin’ it too
Hurtin’ inside, goin’ through the motions, it’s so hard to live
So many feelin’ so lonely, when they got so much to give

Somebody’s needin’ somebody, the way I do
Somebody’s wantin’ somebody, they can hold on to
To be loved by somebody, that’s the way it should be
Oh, there’s got to be somebody, somewhere waitin’ for me

To be loved by somebody, that’s the way it should be
Oh, there’s got to be somebody, out there waitin’ for me

I May Never Get to Heaven Lyrics

Song by Conway Twitty

I walked with you and talked with you
And held your loving hand
We loved awhile and I lived awhile
And I thought that fate had it planned

Then someone stole my angel
And I lost what I loved most
I may never get to Heaven
But I once came mighty close

I may never play a golden harp
Or spread celestial wings
Or walk a golden staircase
While the distant chorus sings

But once I held your sweet love
And felt your tender touch
I may never get to Heaven
But I didn’t miss it much

I may never get to Heaven
But I once came mighty close

I’d Love to Lay You Down Lyrics

Song by Conway Twitty

There’s a lot of ways of sayin’ what I want to say to you
There’s songs and poems and promises and dreams that might come true
But I won’t talk of starry skies or moonlight on the ground
I’ll come right out and tell you I’d just love to lay you down

Lay ya down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear
Lay ya down and tell you all the things a woman loves to hear
I’ll let you know how much it means just havin’ you around
Oh darlin’, how I’d love to lay you down

There’s so many ways your sweet love made this house into a home
You’ve got a way of doin’ little things that turn me on
Like standin’ in the kitchen in your faded cotton gown
With your hair all up in curlers, I’d still love to lay ya down

Lay ya down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear
Lay ya down and tell you all the things a woman loves to hear
I’ll let you know how much it means just havin’ you around
Oh darlin’, how I’d love to lay you down

When a whole lot of Decembers are showin’ in your face
Your auburn hair has faded and silver takes its place
You’ll be just as lovely, and I’ll still be around
And if I can, I know that I’d still love to lay you down

Lay ya down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear
Lay ya down and tell you all the things a woman loves to hear
I’ll let you know how much it means just havin’ you around
Oh darlin’, how I’d love to lay you down

Lay ya down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear
Lay ya down and tell you all the things my woman loves to hear
I’ll let you know how much it means just havin’ you around
Oh darlin’, how I’d love to lay you down

Lay ya down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear
Lay ya down and tell you all the things my woman loves to hear
I’ll let you know how much it means just havin’ you around
Oh darlin’, how I’d love to lay you down

Don’t Take It Away Lyrics

Song by Conway Twitty

I been lookin’ for you all night long, darlin’
You’ve got to talk to me
I wanna tell you how wrong I’ve been
And I won’t do it again

You know that woman didn’t mean a thing to me
I hope, I don’t embarrass you too much
Here in front of all your friends
I’m gonna get down on my knees

Please, let me make it
Please, I can’t give you up
‘Cause you made love
So good for me so long

Don’t take it away
‘Cause love don’t come easy
Darlin’, I’m sorry
I stepped over the line

Don’t take it away
Don’t make me go crazy
‘Cause I would follow you
To the ends of my mind

From now on
I’m gonna be the kind of man
That you can lean on

And when the waters of life
Get a little too rough or a little too deep
I’m gonna be your steppin’ stone

And oh, I remember all those nights
That you used to take right a hold of me
And you’d hold on

Please, let me make it
Please, I can’t give you up
‘Cause you’ve made love
So good for me so long

Don’t take it away
‘Cause love don’t come easy
Darlin’, I’m sorry
I stepped over the line

Don’t take it away
Don’t make me go crazy
‘Cause I would follow you
To the ends of my mind

You’ve Never Been This Far Before

Conway Twitty

I can almost hear the stillness
As it yields to the sound of your heart beating
I can almost hear the echo
Of the thoughts that I know you must be thinking

And I can feel your body tremble
As you wonder what this moment holds in store
And as I put my arms around you
I can tell you’ve never been this far before

I don’t know what I’m saying
As my trembling fingers touch forbidden places
I only know that I’ve waited
For so long for the chance that we are taking

Well I don’t know and I don’t care
What made you tell him you don’t love him anymore
And as I taste your tender kisses
I can tell you’ve never been this far before

And as I take the love you’re giving
I can feel the tension building in your mind
And you’re wondering if tomorrow
I’ll still love you like I’m loving you tonight

You have no way of knowing
Tonight will only make me love you more
And I hope that you’ll believe me
‘Cause I know you’ve never been this far before

Linda on My Mind Lyrics

Conway Twitty

Now I’m lying here with Linda on my mind
And next to me, my soon to be, the one I left behind
And Lord it’s killing me to see her crying
She knows I’m lying here beside her with Linda on my mind.

Yes I know that I once loved her
And I placed no one above her
And I never thought I’d ever set her free
But it just wasn’t in my plan
The way Linda squeezed my hand
The first time that I held her close as she danced with me.

She said I’ve loved you for a long time
But you’re married to a friend of mine
And I tried hard to never let it show
But my love for you is stronger
I can’t hide it any longer
And so I thought I’d better let you know.Now

I’m lying here with Linda on my mind
And next to me, my soon to be, the one I left behind
And Lord it’s killing me to see her crying
She knows I’m lying here beside her with Linda on my mind

New San Antonio Rose Lyrics

Song by Johnny Cash

Deep within my heart lies a melody
A song of old San Antone
Where in dreams I live with a memory
Beneath the stars all alone
It was there I found beside the Alamo
Enchantment strange as the blue up above
A moonlit pass that only she would know
Still hears my broken song of love
Moon in all your splendor know only my heart
Call back my rose, rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender like petals falling apart
Speak once again of my love, my own.
Broken song, empty words I know
Still live in my heart all alone
For that moonlit pass by the Alamo
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone
Deep within my heart lies a melody,
A song of old San Antone
Where in dreams I live with a memory
Beneath the stars all alone
It was there I found beside the Alamo
Enchantment strange as the blue up above
A moonlit pass that only she would know
Still hears my broken song of love
Moon in all your splendor know only my heart
Call back my rose, rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender like petals falling apart
Speak once again of my love, my own.
Broken song, empty words I know
Still live in my heart all alone
For that moonlit pass by the Alamo
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone

The Roots of My Raising Lyrics

Song by Merle Haggard and The Strangers

I left the four lane highway took a blacktop seven miles
Down by the old country school I went to as a child
Two miles down a gravel road I could see the proud old home
A tribute to a way of life that’s almost come and gone.

The roots of my raising run deep
I come back for the strength that I need
And hope comes no matter how far down
I sink the roots of my raising run deep.

I pulled into the driveway Lord it sure was good to be there
And through the open door I could see that dad was asleep in his favorite chair
In his hand was a picture of mom and I remembered how close they were
So I just turned away I didn’t want to wake him spoil his dreams of her.

A christian Mom who had the strength for life the way she did
Then to pull that apron off and do the Charleston for us kids
Dad a quiet man who’s gentle voice was seldom heard
Who could borrow money at the bank simply on his word.

The roots of my raisin’ run deep
I come back for the strength that I need
And hope comes no matter how far down
I sink the roots of my raising run deep.

The roots of my raisin’ run deep…
