Legendary Charley Pride lyrics

Does my ring hurt your finger
When you go out at night?
When I bought if for you darling,
It seemed to fit just right.
Should I take it to the jeweler
So it won't fit so tight?
Does my ring hurt your finger
When you go out at night?

Did you enjoy yourself last night dear
How was the show?
You know I don't mind it
When you go.
I understand we all need time alone

Rain dripping off the brim of my hat
it sure is cold today
and here I am'a walking down sixty-six
Wish she hadn't done me that way

Sleeping under a table at a road side park
A man could wake up dead
But it sure seems warmer than it did
Sleepin in our king size bed

Chorus
Is anybody goin to San Antone
Or Pheonix Arizona
Anyplace is alright as long as I

Whenever I chance to meet
some old friends on the street
They wonder how does a man get to be this way
I've always got a smiling face
Anytime and any place
And everytime they ask me why
I just smile and say

You've got to
Kiss an angel good morning
and let you know you think about her when you're gone
Kiss an angel good morning
and love her like the devil when you get back home

Before you take another step there's something you should know

About the years ahead and how they'll be

You'll be living in a world where roses hardly ever grow
Cause all I have to offer you is me

There'll be no mansion waiting on the hill with crystal chandeliers

Then there'll be no fancy clothes for you to wear

Everything I have is standing here in front of you to see

Kaw-Liga was a wooden Indian standin' by the door

He fell in love with an Indian maiden over in the antique store

Kaw-Liga well he just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer yes or no

Poor ol' Kaw-Liga well he never got a kiss

Poor ol' Kaw-Liga he don't know what he missed

Is it any wonder that his face is red Kaw-Liga that poor ol' wooden head

When all your loves have ended when all your friends have flown

Who'll be around to want you when all your loves have gone

Only a fool would do it after the way you've done
But how many fools would have you I know one

This fool keeps wondering why he fell in love at all

But you might need this fool around in case you fall

After the party's over and you've had your fill of fun

Tomorrow I'll say happy birthday darling

And surprise you with a gift when I come home

Then mine forgetful arms will reach out for you
I can't forget you just because you're gone

I can't believe that you've stopped loving me it's too much for me to understand

How can anything so real become a dream I can't believe that you've stopped loving me

[ steel ]

I picked last night in Tucson I sang 'em a country song

Missed my plane this morning Lord cause we parted all night long

I'm out here now usin' my thumb tryin' to make it to El Paso
Cause tonight I play at the cabarete they done told it on the radio

To a country singer it's a lonesome road with time hangin' heavy on my hands

Down at the railroad station there's people gettin' on

Some are a goin' north some are a goin' south I'm just goin' to be gone

Some people are born to be takers others just wanna give
Some people live just to love but I just love to live

For I was just born to be exactly what you see

Nothing more or less I'm not the worst or the best

When she wakes up this morning and turns to kiss me

She'll find I let her sleep because we talked so late last night
She'll know I kissed her face gently till my returning

And when she finds the rose on my pillow I know she'll smile

Her amazing love unending is so much more than I am worthy of

If the rose could speak my feelings she'd know I cherrished her amazing love

If he's the one that's always on your mind the only one who's love can satisfy

If he's the one that keeps your heart alive then who am I who am I
Am I no more than just a rock you needed for a stepping stone

Until the right one came along

If he's the one that live with you inside then who am I who am I

[ guitar ]

Am I no more than just a fool that held you up when you were down

Sometimes late at night I wake up dreaming

I reach and feel for her she's too good to be true

Then I touch the sleeping softness of my angel
And half asleep she turns to whisper I love you

Cause she's just too good to be true but she is

And in my arms she reassures me with a kiss

She's everything I ever looked for in a woman

She's just too good to be true but she is

The news is out all over town that you've been seen a running round

I know that I should leave but then I just can't go you win again
This heart of mine could never see what everybody knew but me

Just trusting you was my great sin what can I do you win again

[ strings ]

I'm sorry for your victim now cause soon his head like mine will bow

All te snakes crawl at night that's what they say

When the sun goes down then the sneaks will play

I watched that car pull right up into my driveway

Saw a shadow slip away from my house

So I hurried straight and looked in her room

And I found out that it was my loving spouse

All te snakes crawl at night...

Have you ever been awaken by the crowing of a rooster

While the night is still heavy on the ground

And the voice of Uncle Ben seems to break the morning silence
Bringing lights to windows all around

Well it's time to rise and shine and start another hard work day

Get the cows in and start the milking chores

On the wings of a snow white dove He sends His pure sweet love

A sign from above on the wings of a dove

When troubles surround us when evils come the body grows weak the spirit grows numb

When these things beset us he doesn't forget us

He sends down his love on the wings of a dove

On the wings of a snow white dove...

I'm finding that I'm spending most of my time

Wondering where she goes the rest of the time

But tonight I will find out for once and for all
Tonight I will follow her and let the chips fall

So let the chips fall let them fall where they may

My moment of truth is fast on its way

Soon I will know for once and for all so I'll just cross my fingers and let the chips fall

[ steel ]

So I feel so blue sometimes I wanna die and so I've got a broken heart so what

They say that time will heal all wounds in mice and men
And I know that someday I'll forget and love again

But just between you and me I've got my doubts about it

But just between you and me you're too much to fotget

[ steel ]

So I've lost the only girl I ever loved and so I've never felt so low so what

Busted flat in Baton Rouge headin' for the train feelin' nearly faded as my jeans

Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained took us all the way to New Orleans

I took my har'poon out of my dirty red bandana

And was blowing sad while Bobby sang the blues
With them windshield whipers slapping time

And Bobby clapping hands we finally sang up ever song that driver knew

Baby it's gonna take a little bit longer for me to ever get you off of my mind

Baby it's gonna take a little bit longer cause I've been lovin' you a long long time

People try to tell me that it won't be long till I won't even miss you anymore

But I can tell them it must be something mighty wrong every day I want you even more

And baby it's gonna take...

[ guitar - steel ]

The easy part's over now it's time to cry the easiest part of all was saying goodbye
The easy part's over now and you are gone now comes the hardest part living alone

Time is the only friend that I have left here with me

How can those healing hands of time erase your memory

The easy part's over now we've come to the end

The easy part's over now and the hard part begins

Don'tcha don'tcha don'tcha fight the feelings of love

Cause love is something nobody ever gets enough of

So reach out your hand take in all the sunshine from above
Well now love is believing so don't fight the feelings don't fight the feelings of love

A boy and a girl in a big spinning world upside down in love from the start

Sunny days and laughing skies true love in both their eyes
