Greatest Hits lyrics

When the princess and the peasants each look back at you the same
When a friend that you had known before can't quite recall your name
When each morning there's a cloudy sky to keep the sun from showin'
Then you know you are your own sometimes that's all that keeps ya goin' mhm

Neath the chimneys and the rooftops of a village safe and sound

(You know folks started dance to the country music a long time ago
And it all started back in west Texas
When they gathered somebody's house on Saturday night and have a big dance
And the fellow that created the whole thing was Bob Wills
But Bob played the fiddle and fiddled along this time he did it all by himself
But he finally made enough money to hire a band ha ha one guitar

There's a jukebox in my ear playing so loud I can hardly hear
And it's a telling a story bout a girl like you
And each selection that I make tells me how my heart will break
For falling in love with a girl like you
Well it's just an old machine without a heart and oh so mean
Says I probably spend my whole life feeling blue

She is deliciously tall sort of a long girl
She is delightfully small sort of a song girl
She freely admits to the world that she was a wrong girl
That's nothing compare to the fact that she is a gone girl
Gone like a knock on the door gone with yesterday and before
Gone with the wind for ever more

She'd never laid claim to the fact that she was a strong girl

Someday I think I'll take up thinking and try my best to understand
How she could be loving me forever and leaving on the other hand
Last night I thought I'd see a movie to help me get my thoughts in hand
I think what I saw was the western preacher or James Bond on the other hand
I placed the ring upon one finger of her left hand
The one who said she'd stay forever is gone on the other hand

She speaks with the voice of an angel she smiles a heavenly smile
Soft as the warm winds of April and pure as the heart of child
But that's just one of the moods of Mary one of her faces that I see
I know about the moods of Mary cause one of her moods is me

Mary will lie and decive me she can be fickle and cold
She'll offer her lips just to tease me and then give me heartaches untold

Ring ring telephone ring somebody says baby what you're doin'
I been wonderin' where you've been now and then I think about you and me
Now you swear about things I can't recall it don't matter now at all
Just come on in
Baby we laugh and sing we'll make love let the telephone ring
Ring ring doorbell ring baby come on in got my Haggard on stereo

This heart of mine belongs to you take care of it be kind
For I must go where you may lead the eyes of love are blind
I may not see the things that I should see the danger there might be in store
And I may do just what I shouldn't do because I'm looking through the eyes of love
My love is blind

It's true I know that eyes of love might dim the view for me

I feel your gentle fingers reaching out to search the pockets of my mind
I watch your eyes to see what they will say to all the need you're gonna find
Will I be welcome when I reach for you
Will you grow soft and say you want me too
Baby walk unashamed with me out into the night
Don't be afraid to feel anything it's all right
