I'm looking for a brand new bed of roses
A love just like mine that stands the test of time
I'm looking for a brand new bed of roses
A love with everlasting clinging vine

Roses and true love fade a little now and then
But with a kiss and sunshine they'll blossom once again<

I came here because I knew I’d be welcomed
And because somehow you always understand
You seem to have a way with lonely people
And you always were my greatest helping hand

Now once again I’m here to take advantage
And I don’t deserve the arms I left alone
I need to know

A word or two to mary please write a letter for me
That's what my buddy said to me today
I couldn't keep from crying sad eyes are looking at me
He said I'll tell you what I wanted to say

Oh I don't mind dying I just hate to leave you alone
And I wish that I could watch the

Oh, the crystal chandeliers light up the paintings on your wall's
The marble statuettes are standing stately in the hall
But will the timely crowd that has you laughing loud
Help you dry your tears
When the new wears off of your crystal chandeliers

I never did fit in to wel

The night is filled with lonely souls
Arms that ache for someone to hold
And hungry eyes forever searching
Like hearts adrift on an endless sea
Prisoners of hope and elusive dreams
Are looking for love their passion burning

Everyone baby once in their life
Needs one

She creates vibrations of love I can't explain
She absorbs me like the sun draws off the summer rain
She touches me in every way no matter what she does
Because everything she touches turns to love

And she lays beside me in our bed of roses
And every night I thank the lord

Daddy was a dreamer hannah was his dream
He worked two jobs to buy ten acres and a wedding ring
Times were getting harder and the land wasn't much
But daddy held on cause he drew his dream
From hannah's tender touch
And as they lay together in the night
She whispered to h

She don't hold and kiss me like she did one time
I think my sweet baby's got leaving on her mind

The longer I know her the more I can tell
My darlings not happy with me
The longer I know that I know her too well
The less love in her eyes I see

The stronger I hold her

He'll grow up too fast his mother said
He can't wait to get in shoulder pads
The days go by so fast I can't believe
That someday he may decide it's time to leave

He never gets tired and I've never seen him bored
He'll take on a band of pirates with a lego sword
Sure kno

No one could hold me no one could control me
But now my future is up to you
Your loving can shake me make me or break me
Oh I hope you're feeling me like I'm feeling you

This feeling is crazy but only you can save me
From this love thing that I've got for you
Your love

Yes I'll buy you a drink if you'd like me to
I might even dance a slow one with you
Lord knows you're a looker and honey what's more
It's not hard to see what you're looking for

Cause you're as tempting a woman as I've ever seen
But there's someone in Dallas who's trusting

The bills are all due and my baby needs shoes
But I'm busted
Cotton is down to a quarter a pound
But I'm busted

I got a cow that's gone dry and a hen that won't lay
A big stack of bills that get bigger each day
The county's gonna haul my belongings away
I'm busted</

Was such a lonely man
Till you came and took my hand
I needed someone's love to see me through
I waited all my life it seems
To find the answer to my dreams
And darling I'm so glad that it was you

It seems the road's been rough at times
We didn't even have a dime

I'm gonna love her on the radio
She's gonna hear me everywhere she goes
I'll get her back the only way I k-now
I'm gonna love her on the radio

Take these pieces of this broken heart
I'll watch them climb the country music charts
Think about our love the way it use to be

Down at the railroad station there's people getting on
Some are going north and some are going south
I'm just going 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

Oh I was just born to be exactly wha

Last night I walked down that little country lane
And a million memories ran through my mind
Where I used to walk with you now I walk with someone new
And I'm learning to love her with time

Yes I'm learning to love her
Cause you've gone and found another
It's the only w

Mornin' lonely mornin'
Ice cold lonesome raindrops fallin' down
Leavin' lord she's leavin'
She bought a one-way greyhound ticket from this town

Takin' she's been takin'
She's been a long time takin' all of my hurtin' away
Losin' I'm only losin'
I'm only losin' every

In a Mississippi cotton picking Delta town
One dusty street to walk up and down
Nothing much to see but a starving hound
In a Mississippi cotton picking Delta town

Down in the Delta where I was born
All we raised was cotton potatoes and corn
I've picked cotton till my f

Father give me strength to do what I must do
Father give me courage to say what I must say
Let that spirit move me I'm nothing on my own
Father stand by me I cannot stand alone
In Jesus name I pray

Father open up my eyes to your wonders all around
Father let me see the

Someday someway you'll realize that you've been blind
Yes darling you're gonna need me again
It's just a matter of time

Go on go on until you reach the end of the line
But I know you'll pass my way again
It's just a matter of time

After I gave you everything I had
