With raindrops on my windshield and teardrops on my steering wheel
This lonely truck's the only thing i own
In my heart i'm pining while her old engine's whining
With 18 wheels a humming home sweet home

I had a gal in texas she walked away and left us
This old truck's all i

There was a girl I loved so dearly
She lived away back in the hills
When the bluebirds sing I miss my darling
She loved me I know she always will

And the bluebird singing
In the Blue Ridge Mountains
Is calling me back to my home
Oh I can hear the bluebirds calling

Don't let your sweet love die like flowers in the Fall
Don't take away the smile and leave the tears
My heart believes in you, please say you love me too
Don't leave me here to face the lonely years

I drifted all alone, no one to call my own
and then you came like an angel

In dreams of yesterday I wander back to my little cabin door
I strolled beside an old rock garden and saw familiar scenes once more
I heard the organ softly playing its music came so sweet and low
And I heard my mother sweetly singing as oft I did so long ago

I heard her sing t

I went into a home one day to see some friends of mine

Of all the books and magazines not a Bible could I find

I asked them for the Bible when they brought it what a
shame

For the dust was covered o'er it not a fingerprint was
plain

Dust on the Bible...

Dust

Now some folks like the summertime when the they can walk
about
Strolling through the meadow green it's pleasant there no
doubt
But give me the wintertime when the snow is on the ground
For I found her when the snow on the ground
I traced her little footprints in the snow

My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf
So it stood ninety years on the floor
It was taller by half than the old man himself
And it weight not a penny's weight more
It was bought on the morn that my grandpa was born
And was always his treasure and pride
But it

I saw your face in the moon honey
You threw a smile at me
You pretended that you were happy
But in those loving eyes I could see
You were having blue thoughts of bygone
The days you and I once knew
But I could see a smile
And it faded with a gloom
When I saw your

It's been many years since we were childhood sweethearts
Blissful days that I never can forget
And you know I still love you little darling
Though the years bring me only regret.

Refrain:
Oh! I love you my darling, how I love you
If I talk, will you try to understand

Well I wonder how the old folks are at home
I wonder if they miss me while I roam
I wonder if they pray for the boy who went away
And left his dear old parents all alone

You could hear the cattle lowing in the lane
You could see the fields of blue grass where I've grown

I'm using my Bible for a road map Then Commandments they tell me what to do The twelve disciples are my road signs And Jesus will take me safely through There'll be no detours in heaven No rough road

You can send me pretty flowers you can send me valentines
Send me letters every day but it won?t pay
Leap to my desire, nothing else will do
It?s goodbye and so long to you

You can hang around and love me you can hang your head and cry
Hang my picture on the wall but I won?

I sell the morning paper, sir
My name is Jimmy Brown,
Everybody knows I am,
The Newsboy of the town.

You will hear me yelling "Morning Star",
As I run along the street,
I have no hat up - on my head,
No shoes upon my feet.
I have no hat up - on my head,
No s

On a day like today
We passed the time away
Writing love letters in the sand
How you laughed when I cried
Each time I saw the tide
Take our love letters from the sand

You made a vow
That you would ever be true
But somehow that
Vow meant nothing to you

Was on a cold winter's night
And the wind blew across the wild moor
As poor mary came wandering home with her child
Till she came to her own father's door

Oh father dear father she cried
Come down and open the door
Or this child in my arms will perish and die
From t

One night it was dark and 'twas stormy
And along came a tramp in the rain
He was making his way to some station
To catch a long distance train.

May I sleep in your barn tonight mister
It is cold lying out on the ground
And the cold north wind it is blowing
An

One evening while out for a ramble
The hour was just about nine
I met a young maiden in Frisco
On the corner of Cherry and Pine

On her face there was beauty of nature
And her eyes seem to expand
Her hair so rich and so brilliant
Was entwined in a blue velvet band

The flowers of love came to wither and die
Our romance was never to be
No matter what happened I know you’ll get by
Oh what’s gonna happen to me

I’ll never be able to love someone new
Cause somehow I’ll never feel free
I’m sure you’ll find someone to care about you

There's a land beyond the river

That they call the sweet forever

And we only reach that shore by faith's decree

One by one we'll gain the portals

There to dwell with the immortals

When they ring the golden bells for you and me

Don't you hear the bells now

Now you're the best of all the leading brands
From loving kisses down to holding hands
I am happy only in your company
And no one else can make this guarantee

You're the best and always number one
You've got the competition of the run
I'm sure that everybody understands
