Greatest Hits lyrics

Ever since the days of old,
Men would search for wealth untold.
They'd dig for silver and for gold,
And leave the empty holes.
And way down south in the Everglades,
Where the black water rolls and the saw grass sways.
The eagles fly and the otters play,
In the land of the Seminole.

So blow, blow Seminole wind,
Blow like you're never gonna blow again.

if you really want to know
she comes here a lot
she just loves to hear the music and dance
K13 is her favorite song
if you play it you might have a chance
tonight she's only sippin' white wine
she's friendly, and fun lovin'
most of the time

but don't ask her on a straight tequila night
she'll start thinkin' about him, and she's ready to fight

There's a little girl in our neighborhood,
her name is Charlotte Johnson and she's really lookin' good.
I had to go and see her, so I called her on the phone.
I walked over to her house and this was going on:

Her brother was on the sofa, eatin' chocolate pie,
her Mama was in the kitchen cuttin' chicken up to fry.
Her daddy was in the backyard rollin' up a garden hose,

If we can't get along,
we aught to be apart,
and I'm wondering where'd you
get that cold cold heart.

Set me free.
Sign my release.
I'm tired of being a
villian of the peace.

You've been giving me bad times,
Tell me what'd I do.
How come I always get a hard time,
Honey, when it comes to you.
Saying things that you didn't have to.
How come I always get a hard time,

When our baby Kate was born it was the biggest day of my life
Lying there, little bows in her hair
In the loving arms of my wife
I was the proudest papa in the USA
Makin' a living on the road somewhere a thousand miles away

It was a happy day, but kinda' sad
And I wish I coulda' been there
Yea I wish I coulda' been there
I wish I coulda been there for that

Cigarettes were a quarter then
Bobby-socks and jeans were in
Elvis sang the songs that we loved so.
But the most important thing to us
was keepin' gas in my old truck
so I could take us to the drive-in show.

I never will forget the day
that you and I went all the way
I was the first for you - and you for me.
I've still got the truck that we loved in
It takes me back there now and then,
