Loretta Lynn Album

(Loretta Lynn)

Well, I like my lovin' done country style
And this little girl would walk a country mile
To find her a good ole slow talkin' country boy
I said a country boy.

I'm about as old fashioned as I can be
And I hope you're likin' what you see
'Cause if you're lookin' at me
You're lookin' at country.

You don't see no city when you look at me
'Cause country's all I am
I love runnin' barefooted through the old cornfields
And I love that country ham.

Well, you say I'm made just to fit your plans
But there's a barnyad shovel fit your hands
If your eyes are on me
You're lookin' at country.

--- Instrumental ---

This here country is a little green
And there's a lotta country that you ain't seen
I'll show you around if you'll show me a weddin' band
I said a weddin' band.

When it comes to love, well, I know about that
Country folks all know where it's at
If you're lookin' at me
You're lookin' at country.

You don't see no city when you look at me
'Cause country's all I am
I love runnin' barefooted through the old cornfields
And I love that country ham.

If your eyes are on me
You're lookin' at country...

Well, you say you're a red hot papa
And the lover over town
Don't you think it's just about time
Oh, mama cooled you down.

Get them courtin' clothes back off
Don't let it take you to long
'Cause tonight big boy you're gonna stay right here
And love whatcha got at home.

Love whatcha got at home
I quit that messin' around
Well, everybody calls you lover boy
And you like the way it sounds.

Your home chores're never done
Because you're always gone
Well, tonight big boy, you're gonna stay right here
And love whatcha got at home.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, I watch TV till leauge goes on
And then I count the sheep
I never know when you come home
I cry myself to sleep.

When you go out that door tonight
Consider yourself grown
'Cause tonight big boy, you're gonna stay right here
And love whatcha got at home.

Love whatcha got at home
I quit that messin' around
Well, everybody calls you lover boy
And you like the way it sounds.

Your home chores're never done
Because you're always gone
Well, tonight big boy, you're gonna stay right here
And love whatcha got at home.

Well, tonight big boy, you're gonna stay right here
And love whatcha got at home...

(John Denver - Bill Danoff - Taffy Nivert)

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains blowin' like the breeze
Country roads take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia mountain mama, take me home country roads.

All my mem'ries gather round her
miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine. teardrops in my eye
Country roads take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia mountain mama, take me home country roads.

I hear her voice in the mornin' as she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road I get a feelin'
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia mountain mama, take me home country roads.

La da da da da in the mornin' as she calls me
La da da da da da da da home far away mhm...

I know he knows I'm bad
So why don't he close my eyes
'Cause as long as they stay open
I can see where my heart lies.

It's burried at his beat
And when he steps on it it cries
Everybody knows I'm bad
So why don't they close my eyes.

My blue eyes are open wide
and I can see her take my place
I know still I can feel the dirt
He's throwin' in my face.

He is every breath I breathe
So how could I survive
Everybody knows I'm bad
So why don't they close my eyes.

--- Instrumental ---

I know still I can feel the dirt
He's throwin' in my face.

So how could I survive
Everybody knows I'm bad
So why don't they close my eyes...

Indian Lake is a scene you should make with your little one
Keep it in mind if you're lookin' to find a place in the summer sun
Swim in the cove have a snack in the grove or you can rent a canoe
At Indian Lake you'll be able to make the way like the Indians do.

You take a bus marked Lakewood Drive
And you keep on ridin' till you're out of the city
Where the air is fine with the sweet smellin' pines
And the country side's pretty.

And you'll see daffodils peepin' over the hills
Or a honey lovin' mama bear
Just take a left at the bridge, go down to Quaker Town Ridge
And in a minute you're there.

Indian Lake is a scene you should make with your little one
Keep it in mind if you're lookin' to find a place in the summer sun
Swim in the cove have a snack in the grove or you can rent a canoe
At Indian Lake you'll be able to make the way like the Indians do.

If you hurt me you won't be the first or the last
In the lifetime of many mistakes
But I won't spend tomorrow regreting the past
For the chances that I didn't take.

'Cause I'll never know till it's over
If I'm right or I'm wrong loving you
But I'd rather be sorry for something I've done
Than for something that I didn't do.

When you touch me it's easy to make me believe
Tomorrow won't take you away
But I'll gamble whatever tomorrow might bring
For the life that I'm living today.

'Cause I'll never know till it's over
If I'm right or I'm wrong loving you
But I'd rather be sorry for something I've done
Than for something that I didn't do...

(Glen Johnson)

You can't hold on to sunlight when shadows are falling
You can't hold on to summer when winter is calling
You can't hold on to moonlight you'd be cheating the dawn
And you can't hold on to love when it's over and gone.

You can't pick up a rosebud then keep it from dying
You can't tell me you love me if you did you'd be lying
You can't hold on to my heart by leading me on
And you can't hold on to love when it's over and gone.

You can't count all the raindrops in one April shower
You can't count on my heartaches in one lonely hour
You can't love me the right way by doing me wrong
And you can't hold on to love when it's over and gone...

Oh, I burnt the little roadside tavern down
The only one for miles and miles around
Now, it's a pile of ashes on the ground
Yeah, I burnt the little roadside tavern down.

Oh, I warned my man to just stay away from that tavern
Or I'll burn it down someday
I think he thought it was a joke until he smelled the smoke
Then he screaned that woman finally got her way.

Oh, I burnt the little roadside tavern down
The only one for miles and miles around
Now, it's a pile of ashes on the ground
Yeah, I burnt the little roadside tavern down.

--- Instrumental ---

He acted like a man who'd lost it's mind
After he bought all those bottles of wine
You should have heard him talk and shout
As he tried to put it out.
Drowin' water on the bucket at a time

Oh I burnt the little roadside tavern down
The only one for miles and miles around
Now, it's a pile of ashes on the ground
Yeah, I burnt the little roadside tavern down.

Yes, I burnt the little roadside tavern down...
