Dean Martin Album

Well it's lonesome in this old town
Everybody puts me down
I'm a face without a name
Just walking in the rain
Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston

I got holes in both of my shoes
Well I'm a walking case of the blues
Saw a dollar yesterday
But the wind blew it away
Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston

I haven't eaten in about a week
I'm so hungry when I walk I squeak
Nobody calls me friend
It's sad the shape I'm in
Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston

Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston
I got a girl waiting there for me
Well at least she said she'd be
I got a home and a big warm bed
And a feather pillow for my head
Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston

Well it's lonesome in this old town
Everybody put me down
I'm a face without a name
Just walking in the rain
Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston

The first thing every morning
And the last thing every night
I think of you and all the things you say and do
If only you were here to whisper sweet things to.

I tell you how much I love you
How I'm longing to hold you tight
Yeah, the very first thing every morning
And the last thing every night.

I tell you just how much I love you
And how I'm longing to hold you tight
The very first thing every morning
And the last thing every night.

The very first thing every morning
And the last thing every night...

You take a hammer, you get some nails, you build a home
Find a woman put that woman in that little home
But without love, true, true love in that home
Yes, without love, that little home just ain't a home

You cheat a little, you leave your baby all alone
You bend the nails, you walk the boards in that little home
'Cuz without love, true, true love in that home
Yes, without love that little home can't be a home

Yes, without love in that home
There ain't a hammer big enough
So when your nights of fun are through
Don't be surprised to find yourself there all alone
'Cuz without love, true, true love in that home
Yeh, without love that little home just can't be a home
Yeh, without love that little home just can't be a home

(Little lovely one, little lovely one, little lovely one)
Little lovely one won't you tell me I'm the one
Won't you tell me I'm the one for you
Don't you realize you got me hypnotized
And everybody knows it but you
When you're walking down the street a-scuffling your feet
Don't you know you look so fine
You're such a living dream like peaches and cream
I can't get you off of my mind

Little lovely one won't you tell me I'm the one
Tell me I'm the one for sure
You don't answer your phone
I'm gonna follow you home
Be a knock on your door

When you're walking down the street a-scuffling your feet
Don't you know you look so fine
You're such a living dream like peaches and cream
I can't get you off of my mind

Little lovely one won't you tell me I'm the one
Won't you tell me I'm the one for you
If you don't answer your phone
I'm gonna follow you home
There's gonna be a knock at your door
Gonna be a knock at your door
There's gonna be a knock at your door

(She-oop, she-oop, she-oop)
Ain't nothing in the world for a boy and a girl but love, love, love
Ooh love, love, love, love, love, love
There ain't nothing in the world for a boy and a girl but love, love, love
And that's the only thing I'm thinking of

Love can make you happy when you're feeling blue
If the one you love is in love with you
There's nothing in the world for a boy and a girl but love, love, love
Yeh, love, love, love ooh love, love, love
There's nothing ooh love, love, love
And that's the only thing I'm thinking of

(She-oop, she-oop, love, love, love, love, love, love)
(She-oop, she-oop, love, love, love, love, love, love)
That's the only thing I'm thinking of
Love can make you happy when you're feeling blue
If the one you love is in love with you
Ain't nothing in the world for a boy and a girl but love, love, love
Yeh love, love, love oh love, love, love
Ain't nothing in the world for a boy and a gilr but love, love, love
That's the only thing I'm thinking of
That's the only thing I'm thinking of

(Way down home way down home)
I got to pack and go going back where I come from
And the folks I really know
Down home (Way down home) Way down home (Way down home)

I got to say goodbye

How I miss the taste of Grandma's potato pie
And the pretty girls come in bunches
And they never treat you wrong
Down home (Way down home) Way down home (Way down home)

Watermelon (Watermelon) costs but a dime (Watermelon)
And the fish by the river
They jump they jump on your line

I got to go you see
City life can never take the country out of me
So I'm going back where I come from
And I never gonna roam
From home (Way down home) Way down home (Way down home)

(Watermelon costs but a dime)
And the fish down by the river
Jump on your line
I got to go you see
Anyone who asks for me
Tell them I have gone back home
Gonna fall back with that living
And I'm never gonna roam
From home (Way down home) Way down home (Way down home)
Down home (Way down home) Way down home (Way down home)
Down home (Way down home) Way down home (Way down home)

I don't want to be the one to say I'm gonna miss you but I will
I don't want to say I'm gonna cry my eyes out baby but I will
I'm not ashamed for you to know how much I really love you so
Cuz it was such a thrill
And just remember when you're gone there'll be that someone sad who loves you still

You will look at him and see me smiling back at you
I know you will (You will)
And you will find yourself repeating things we used to do
I know you will (You will)

Don't wonder if you want to come back just come running home to me
And let me feel that thrill
Cuz I'm the one who told you
I would love you dear forever and I will

Oh, I will...
Yes, I will...

Don't wonder if you want to come back just come running home to me
And let me feel that thrill
Cuz I'm the one who told you
I would love you dear forever and I will
Cuz I'm the one who told you
I would love you dear forever and I will
(I will)

(Snap your fingers) And I'll come running
(Back to you) On bended knees
Snap your fingers I will come running
I'll be true take a chance on me

Let your light turn green
Baby I got to know
Give me some kind of clue
Should I stay or go
Let me love you like a lover
That you used to know
Turn the key and let me in
To the same old door

I had it but lost it
Now I got a broken heart to mend
I don't care what the cost is
Got to find a way back in
So snap your fingers
Baby I'll come running
I'll do anything to get back again

I don't care what the cost is
Got to find a way back in
So snap your fingers
Baby I'll come running
I'll do anything to get back again
To come back again
(To get back again)

(Everybody, everybody, everybody but me.)

Everybody's got someone carin'
Everybody's got a love they're sharin'
Everybody everybody but me
Everybody's gettin' ready
Everybody is goin' steady
Everybody, everybody but me.

I stay home on a Friday nights I go to bed at eight
Saturday nights I'm all alone still ain't got a date
Everybody's out romancin' havin' fun and going dancin'
Everybody, everybody but me.

Well I've been on the road for such a long, long time
I go where it leads me, this old thumb of mine
Since you said goodbye I've almost lost my mind
And all I do is follow that old yellow line

Old yellow line
Going 'round the bend
Old yellow line
Will you never, never end

Down the road I see a little hot dog stand
Lots of happy people who won't understand
How I got this sorrow in these eyes of mine
And why I must follow that old yellow line

Old yellow line
Going 'round the bend
Old yellow line
Will you never, never end

Well I'll probably spend the night on some old foreign floor
Let the wine cloud my mind so I can't see her face anymore

Maybe somewhere down the line I'll stop and then
I'll find someone who wants me and I'll love again
When I do she'll never leave me
Until that day I'll follow that old yellow line

Old yellow line
Going 'round the bend
Old yellow line
Will you never, never end

Old yellow line
Going 'round the bend
Old yellow line
Will you never, never end

Headed down life's crooked road
Lots of things there that I never knowed
Because of me not knowin' I now pine

Trouble got right on my trail
I spent the next five years in jail
Should have read that detour sign

Detour, there's a muddy road ahead
Detour, paid no mind to what it said
Detour, all these bitter things I find
Should have read that detour sign

Well when I got to the place
Where that sign told be about my face
Well, I figured all of my worries were behind

But the farther I go
I find more chug holes there in the road
I should have read that detour sign

Detour, there's a muddy road ahead
Detour, paid no mind to what it said
Detour, all these bitter things I find
Should have read that detour sign

Well, I got stuck down in the mud
All my hopes fell there with a thud
I felt like my heartstrings were made of twine

I had no power to get
From that hole I was in yet
I should have read that detour sign

Detour, there's a muddy road ahead
Detour, paid no mind to what it said
Detour, all these bitter things I find
Should have read that detour sign
Should have read that detour sign

(You're the reason you're the reason you're the reason I'm in love)
You're the reason I'm in love you're my shining star above
You're my every dream come true that's why I love you like I do
Adam shared his love with Eve some may doubt but I believe
I would give my life for you that's why I love you like I do
(I would give my life for you) that's why I love you like I do
You're the reason I'm in love...
Yes you're the reason I'm in love
